Notes RE Children

• As of 14 Sep 2023, there are no primary sources on FamilySearch or Ancestry.com showing birth or baptism dates for children hyperlinked to Dr. John Fuller and Bethia or Hannah.
• For persons willing to pay a subscription fee, AmericanAncestors.org, might have proprietary sources proving births dates for Bethia, John, Reliance, and Lydia.
• Find A Grave's webpages often show no document or legible headstone images that prove the events' dates and places. Too many F.A.G. volunteers create person-profiles without having documentation ready to add ASAP.
• Parentage can be proven by other means, however, such as Probates/Wills or two or more legitimate secondary sources (i.e., books with citations that buttress most or all included factoids).
• A primary source does exist proving who Lydia's father was (in transcribed type-format). The name "Dr. John Fuller" is mentioned as Lydia's father in the opening lines of Joseph Dimuck's [sic] Will:—
