ROBERT R. FULLER.—A native of Cambridge, Massachusetts, born December 13, 1818.
Mr. Fuller's early life was spent in that State and Vermont, residing in the
latter some twelve years. In 1832, he located in Lynn, Massachusetts, there
learned the trade of shoemaker, which he followed until 1846; he then moved to
Philadelphia and resided four years. In the Spring of 1850, the tide of
immigration set toward the gold mines of this State. Mr. Fuller sailed from
Philadelphia on board the bark Delia Chapin, and, coming around the Horn, after
a passage of six months, arrived in San Francisco November 26th of the same
year. Mr. Fuller first engaged in mining for about two years, and, in February,
1853, concluding to embark in agricultural pursuits, therefore selected Contra
Costa as his future home, and in the above year located on his present ranch of
one hundred and sixty acres, adjoining the town limits of Antioch, and commenced
general farming. Was united in marriage, in Lynn, Massachusetts, to Miss Sarah
A. Pierce, a native of that city; by this union they have four living children,
Eugene I., Ida, now Mrs. Knight, Robert H., and George W.
