Born on September 13, 1741 in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, he married Anne Blackmer on October 6, 1764 in Dartmouth and worked as a tailor. He enlisted as a private and drummer on April 21, 1775 in Captain Thomas Kempton’s Company of Minutemen for a period of five days, engaging in some skirmishes with the British as they returned from Concord and Lexington.
He re-enlisted May 4, 1775 under Colonel Danielson, and served on the right flank during the Battle of Bunker Hill. His Company fell under furious cannon fire from the British ships anchored in the harbor, but held their ground. His company remained around Boston, and Fuller witnessed the ceremony in which General Washington took command of the Colonial forces outside of Boston on July 3, 1775.
At the end of his three month enlistment, he again signed up to serve in Captain Dillingham’s Company under Colonel French in the Massachusetts Militia. He remained on active duty until November of 1776, guarding the seacoast around Dartmouth after the British evacuated Boston, moving to New York. In July, 1777, he again enlisted as a private, this time in the Continental Army, and marched to Saratoga, New York. His Company fought in the Battle of Saratoga, which saw the Continentals defeat the British under General Burgoyne. In 1777, his Company marched to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, joining up with General Washington and camped for the winter there. He caught small pox in Valley Forge, and spent three months in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in a field hospital recuperating.
His Company later served and fought at the battles of Monmouth, Springfield, and Rhode Island. He served out the war guarding West Point, and was discharged in 1783 from the 9th Regiment. He later moved to, and died in Wheelock, Vermont on November 25, 1808. He had six children from his only marriage.
