 Research Notes:
In a recent correspondance Mary Elizabeth Fullerton [ Founder/Artistic Director Napa Valley Shakespeare Festival Napa, California ] writes
I am searching for information regarding the death of my great-grandfather, John Reginald Fullerton, son of Reverend Arthur Fullerton of Thrybergh. He had emigrated to Canada about 1880. His older brother, James Townsend Fullerton, left for Canada before him. He had another brother named Weston. He and my great-grandmother were estranged, I believe, at the time of his death. Legend has it that he died in a polo match near San Francisco. I am wondering if any information might have made it back to his birthplace of Thrybergh.
Death records for that period in and around San Francisco were destroyed during the great earthquake. My guess at the approximate date of his death is vague-the 1890's or first decade of the "new" century. My grandfather, also John Reginald Fullerton returned to England with his mother, Ada Clarice Fullerton Lawson for his education. I believe Ada died there during World War I. I have her letters; the last is dated 1918.
Noted events in his life were:
• Residence: Rectory, 1871, Thrybergh, York. 498
• Occupation: Farmer, 1881, Springfield, Manitoba. 800
• Immigration, 1884, to USA. 801,802
• Occupation: Stockman, 1900, Redlodge, Carbon Co, Montana. 801
• Residence, 1910, Seattle, King County, Washington. 802
• Residence, 1920, Port Townsend, Washington, USA. 797
• Residence, 1930, Port Townsend, Washington, USA. 798
• Occupation: Mayor: Port Townsend, Washington, USA. 803
James married Catherine Jessie Pinkham, daughter of William Pinkham and Ann Harvey, about 1875. (Catherine Jessie Pinkham was born in Apr 1848 in St. Johns, Newfoundland 800,801,803 and died on 5 Sep 1943 in Port Townsend, Washington, USA 799,803.)
