In a letter written, apparently after 1916, from an unnamed relative of the family concerning the Brainard's, Fuller's, Cullen's and Humphries (Italics are my notations)......speaking of Sarah Brainard Cullen, she says,  "Two of her nieces came to visit her, Jennie Bartholomew and Emma Noyers.  ....Now I will give  as much as I know about the Fullers and Humphries  ....Nathaniel Frederick Fuller came from England to either old St. Joseph (Florida) or Apalachicola (Florida), I don't know which, and married Mary Humphries, they had five children, Hester Recious, Mary Elizebath, Carry and Frederick.  Oh!  one of the five died.  Mary Elizabeth (Aunt Mollie) married Sapartoh Goodlett, no children.  Carry married Frank Nichols, they had one child, Lillian E. Nichols.  Frederick never married.
       Back to the Humphries, there was Sarah, Mary, John, Henry, Joel, William  all sisters and brothers.  Mary married Fuller.  Sarah died an old maid.  John, Joel, William died old bachlors.  Henry married Elizabeth Russ of Mariana (Florida), they had six children, Ida Lee, Florida, Virginia, Henry, Horace, Felix.  Ida Lee married Otto C. Happee, no children.  Florida married Gus Hensler, had three children, Elizebth, Goffery, and the baby boy.  I don't know his name.  Virginia married Marrion Long, had one child named Russ.  Henry, Felix and Horace all died bachols (bachelors).
   Some of the old Humphries lived in Canada or their home was there one.
       I believe this is all I can remember.  I do know there is plenty of money on all sides of the old folks if we could only trace.  (Smile :-)
       I forgot Ruth Cullen married Gus Falconi, no children.  Brainard Fuller Cullen married Ora.  Mary Pearl married William Joseph Switzer, two children (dead), adopted George Robinson."
