Fuller, James--Applied for his pension in 1825, and swore that he resided in Otisco; but he afterwards made his home in Tully and lived there in 1831, when he made a second application.

After giving a quaint list of his property the old man said, "I have a wife aged sixty-four years, who is an invalid, and a son aged twenty-one years, who is incapable of maintaining himself, both depending on me for support. I am not able to do a day's work and am a farmer by profession."
