Timothy Fuller, eldest child of Timothy Fuller by his 2nd wife Mary Champion, bapt. of record Oct. 9, 1715 at the East Haddam, Conn. 1st Cong. Church.
When Timothy specifically died in unknown; the Homer W. Brainerd manuscript that includes this family pub. in the NYBGR in 1902 claims he simply "died young." He would be followed by his father's third son to be named Timothy bapt. May 30, 1722.
East Haddam's Old Cove Burying Ground was a communal burying place. Interments were made without regard for reservation of specific placement of a person next to or perhaps even close to another family member. Until circa 1740 there was no skilled stone mason or gravestone carver available, resulting in only initialed field stones used as markers.
In a 1934 inventory of the burying ground that became part of the Hale Connecticut Cemetery Database, along with actual erect gravestones a considerable number of both distinguishable and nondistinguishable fieldstone markers were itemized, including the following in the order shown but not necessarily one after the other:
• T. F., field stone, date illegible.
• A. F., field stone, 1714 [prob. infant Abigail Fuller].
• F., field stone, date illegible.
• S. F., field stone, date illegible.
• Fuller, Mary, wife of Timothy, died Dec 12, 1770, age 73 [sic 78] yrs.
• M. F., field stone, date illegible.
• Fuller, Timothy, died Nov 30, 1748, age 78 yrs.
• M. F., field stone, 1726.
It is believed Timothy Fuller, the infant son of Timothy Fuller by his second wife Mary Champion bapt. in 1715, is possibly the fieldstone above incompletely marked with the initial "___ F."
