Misc. Notes
William drew for land in the 1807 GA land lottery with the other orphans of John Fillingim, Jr. But it was only William who sold that land in 1812.
William served in War of 1812. From the 9th of August until the 13th of September, 1813, William Fullingame served as a private in a detachment of militia ordered to the frontier of Twiggs Co., GA by Brig. Gen. Blackshear for the protection of the inhabitants and for the erection of a fort called Telfair. William and his brother Robert, were on the 1818 Greene County, Mississippi tax lists, and their sister Nancy married in 1817 in Greene County. It is estimated they arrived in Mississippi before 1818.
William married Frances Grantham, sources say the couple married 1810 in South Carolina. It is unknown who her parents were.
Family tradition states that five of William and Frances' sons were in the Confederate Army and fought in the Civil War. Two of them were killed in action- Ransom and Austin. Another died from measles- Moses. Two sons returned home from the war- James and William.
