Karenhappuch Parmer/Palmer1
F, b. 19 April 1790, d. 14 August 1884
Karenhappuch Parmer/Palmer was also known as "Happy".2 She was born on 19 April 1790 at Baltimore Co., MD, (birth date calculated from records of Ducro & Son Funeral home, Ashtabula, showing Happy Fuller died 14 August 1884, aged 94 years, 3 months, and 25 days). Both parents born Maryland, per 1880 census.3,2,4 She was the daughter of (?) Parmer/Palmer. Karenhappuch Parmer/Palmer married Enoch Fuller, son of Josiah Fuller and Ruth (?), on 12 January 1809 at Austinburg (probably), Geauga (now Ashtabula) Co., OH, by Noah Cowles, J.P.
In the "Widow's Declaration" affidavit dated 7 Febuary 1876, Pension File of Happy Fuller, she stated that the marriage date was 13 February 1807.
Marriage record (found in Geauga County records) names her "Karen Happuch Parmer of Richfield". "Richfield Township" was an early designation of the part of the Western Reserve that was later established as Ashtabula County, and is not near the present-day town of Richfield, Ohio.
In her pension application, Karenhappuch stated she was married at Austinburg. This matches the quotation from "History of Ashtabula County" which says Enoch Fuller came first to Austinburg and worked there clearing land for Hall Smith.5
Note: The History of Ashtabula County names most (but apparently not all) of the early settlers up to about 1812, and there are no Parmers/Palmers whatsoever. Family tradition from the Josiah Fuller descendants says she was the daughter of a Congregational Minister. In fact, those of her descendants who can be identified with a church, such as granddaughter Arrie Jane Fox, were Congregationalists.
"Kerenhappuch" is a Biblical name, the name of Job's middle daughter, found in the last chapter of that book. It reportedly translates as "container of Antimony", or "horn of beauty".
In the 1880 census, she reported both parents were born in Maryland, as well as herself. A possible alternate correct surname for her father or his father is "Paramore" -- this surname appears in early Maryland.
A possible family connection was the wife of David Munsinger, Mary Ann Palmer/Parmer. This marriage occurred only about a year after Julina Fuller's marriage to John Munsinger -- Mary Ann's father Robert Palmer may have been a cousin of Julina's.
Karenhappuch Parmer/Palmer lived in 1860 at Saybrook Twp., Ashtabula Co., OH.6 She died on 14 August 1884 at Saybrook, Ashtabula Co., OH, at age 94 (death date per records of Ducro & Son Funeral Home, Ashtabula). Headstone inscription gives the date as 15 August.4 She was buried on 16 August 1884 at Chestnut Grove Cemetery, Ashtabula, Ashtabula Co., OH, See headstone notes under Enoch Fuller. Interment date from records of Ducro & Son Funeral Home, Ashtabula. Funeral bill sent to J. S. Fuller (this would be son Josiah). Findagrave #36438074.4
