Bartholomew Fuller (1829-1882) of Fayetteville and later Durham, N.C., was a lawyer, journalist (editor of the Fayetteville Presbyterian ), and an employee of the federal government in Washington, D.C., and later the Confederate Post Office Department in Richmond, Va. He was the son of Thomas Fuller, a merchant in Faytteville, and Catherine Raboteau Fuller; his wife Wilmhelmina was daughter of William Bell (1789-1865). A letter of 2 April 1864 mentions the birth of four children (Fuller does not include their names): Agnes (1854-1864), born the first year of our marriage ; Tommy, our only boy, born in our first house ; Katie, born in luxury in a far off home ; Maggie, born in late 1863. Ralph, who appears later in the papers, may have been another son.

Bartholomew Fuller's mother was left a widow with three children, and she married the Reverend Simeon Colton in 1851. Fuller's sister Sarah married R. H. J. Blount; his brother Thomas C. (1832-1901) married Carolina D. Whitehead.
