The reunion will be Saturday September 19th.

I have found some interesting documents lately about my great-great-great grandfather Wyatt Lucius Chamblin. He was born in 1841 and served in the confederate army.

Now this is where the documents come in. I found the paperwork he filed for his pension from the war. How much was a leg worth? $100. I have posted all the images on my site that is devoted to pictures fullerfarm.net.

Now that I am starting to feel better I have started working on the family tree again. I’ve taken and found some interesting pictures lately.

I’ll start with the Fullers.

First is a picture of my grandparents tombstone. They are buried at Damascus Baptist Church in Leah Ga.

This is my great-grandfather Claude Lovelace Fuller and his wife Janie’s Tombstone. Claude died young due to an accident.

This photo of Janie was taken around the turn of the century.

Janie was referred to as Nanie-mama by her grandchildren and as you can tell she was well loved. That’s my dad on the right.

In Warren County at the Johnson Methodist Church is where the parents of Claude, William Taylor and Ella Fuller are buried.

Finally we come to my great-great-great grandparents Francis Marion and Sarah Fuller. They are buried in Magnolia Cemetery in downtown Augusta.

I only have 2 other tombstones to find in the Augusta area. My 4th great grandfather Isham Fuller (1783-1864) died near Appling but I have no record of where his grave is located. My 5th great grandfather Spivey Fuller (1757-1790) fought in the Revolutionary War and later moved to Augusta. He died and is buried somewhere in Richmond County. I haven’t found any record of his burial.

On the Chamblin side of my family I have Wyatt Lucius Chamblin.

Wyatt is the father of Janie Fuller by his first wife Lou Eubank Chamblin (1861-1899).

His father Wyatt Lucius Chamblin (1841-1897) was a Civil War veteran who lost his leg during the battle of Atlanta. I know he is buried in the old Bethel Church near Pollards Corner I just have to wait for cooler weather to get to it. His fathers name was Wyatt Chamblin and he was a doctor who moved from Spartanburg SC to Columbia County. Unfortunately I cannot find any records of his death.

Today was a good day. The only thing that went wrong was the gallbladder pains which weren’t that bad. I got paid finally and was able to buy Jenni an anniversary gift. I got her a netbook which will be here friday. Viva la Amazon!

At my doctor appointment today I was able to get off the Pentasa. I am now only on potassium, Imuran, and Nexium. Dr. Chaudhary wants to wait another month before we remove the gallbladder so that the Humira will have the Crohns under control.

All in all it was a good day.
