BIRTH-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: Patricia Ann Hoagland McEwen, ROBERT McEWEN Scottish
Exile to America 1685 AND HIS DESCENDANTS; 1685-1991; Palo Alto, CA, McEWEN,
1991;p 51, 53; Copy in poss of Ray Sears, Duncan, OK; Though no certain record
has been found of Jonah and Lois Fuller in MI, whither several of their
children migrated (Moses, Gaius, Emeline, Dexter, Jonah, Sarah and possibly
Charles), two notes exist indicating that they accompanied their children.
First, there is the statement in the obituary of their son Jonah that "In 1836,
when about fifteen years of age, his parents moved to this state [MI] and
settled in the township of Webster, Washtenaw co, then an almost unbroken
wilderness."[57-Undated obituary appearing in an unnamed newspaper of Corunna,
MI, giving the death of Jonah Fuller, Jr, as having occurred on 31 May 1878,
photocopy supplied by Leo E Smith of Tucson, AZ, with letter 16 Apr 1988.]
Second there is an incomplete statement in the Sears genealogy that "A dau [of
Rowland] m. --- Fuller of Ann Arbor, MI.
Since they would have been about sixty years of age in 1836, when Gaius,
Moses, and the younger Jonah settled there,[59-Ellis, pp 269, 338; History of
Shiawassee co, MI, p 138] they were not physically beyond undertaking the
resettlement, and there is no death record for either Jonah or Lois in Ashfield
VR. Further, the 1840 MI census for Livingston co lists the household of
Jonah's son Moses Fuller as consisting of one male 30-40; one male 60-70; one
female 20-30; and one female 50-60. The two older people shown here could be
Jonah and Lois Fuller, though Lois would have been sixty-three in that year,
hence incorrectly included in the 50-60 category. It is equally possible, of
course, that the elderly man and woman are parents of Moses Fuller's wife.
These fragmentary data add wieght to the probability of the elder Fullers
having undertaken the long pioneering trek to the opening Michigan promise.
In 1978 George Hessel McEwan of Escanaba, MI, a great-grandson of George and
Sarah (Fuller) McEwen, found among family papers the following list entitled
"Grandmother's family" in the handwriting of his father George Fuller McEwen.
The handwriting of the list itself was unknown to George Hessel McEwen.

Lois married Jonah Fuller, son of Aaron Fuller, on 12 Jan 1804 in Ashfield, MA. Jonah was born 23 Jun 1775 in Ashfield, MA.

A History of Masonry in Madison County, Kentucky 1812-1913, compiled
and written by Robert R. Burnam, 1914, p. 84.

SQUIRE A. SEARS was born in Missouri about 1852. His parents died when he
was a very small boy, leaving three children, two boys and one girl. The
subject of this sketch came to Richmond and lived with his uncle, Major
Squire Turner, who was a very distinguished lawyer. He was educated at the
old Academy and early embarked on a business career. He returned to
Missouri about 1880, locating in Kansas City. Here he lived for nearly
twenty years. Subsequently he removed to Tacoma, Washington, where he died
about l896. He received the degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry during the
autumn of 1873, and those of the Chapter in 1875. He was Knighted in
Richmond Commandery August, 1875. He was elected Master of his Lodge
December, 1877, after having served as both Junior and Senior Warden. He
was in line in the Commandery when he removed to Missouri. Shortly
afterwards he demitted from the various branches of the Order and it is not
known to the writer whether he ever again affiliated. He most probably did
because he had always manifested a marked interest in the same. His memory
is still held in pleasant recollection by all who knew him. He was married
but left no children.
