From Letter to Mr. Trucks Signed by D. A. Waters, 165 Huntsville, St., Dallas, PA., Mar. 26, 1965 included in "History of Trucks (Trux) Family 1750-1967" by Clyde Trucks, Sr. and Joel Lee Trucks, p 9
"William Trucks, Jr. married June 1804 Lydia Fuller, from prominent pioneer family at Huntsville, a few miles from Trucksville.
Pioneers were brothers, Benjah and Joshua Fuller, came from near Kent, Conn. to Kingston. Later to the wilderness and built the first saw mill and grist mill, probably earlier than Trucks did his.
Benjah Fuller was a Revolutionary Veteran. His wife, nee Catherine Thompson, survived him about eight years, both drew Revolutionary Pensions. You can get copy of their pension papers which will give a lot of information by writing to Washington and sending $1.00. ... Saying served from Connecticut, lived after the war in Plymouth TWP., Luzerne Co., PA.
...Lydia was his oldest daughter, Dec. 18,1811, William Trucks, Jr., and wife Lydia Fuller were living in Wayne TWP., Knox Co., Ohio."
Clyde or Joel added footnote that they "sent for and received Benjah Fuller war record and it was quite impressive, in fact 10 pages. So this makes all the females of the Trucks lineage eligible for the D.A.R."
