You did not put a regiment or company for Henry Fuller. I do have some lists of individuals in certain regimentsa and companies, but there is no index. If you can give me the regiment and company, I can see if he is listed. In the contents, there is only one Fuller listed, Mrs. Sarah E. Fuller. Some background on Sarah:

Sarah E. Mills is descended from an old and distinguished family, and is able to trace the family history back for over 300 years. She is one of the claimants of the vast Mills estate which is being contested in England. She is a descendant of John Mills, who settled in Maine after arriving in America in the early 1700's. Her mother was a McDaniell (no given name mentioned). Sarah was born in Portland, Maine but moved to East Boston at age 11. She married George W. Fuller in 1855. George was accepted after many refusals on the condition of his bad health into Co. C, 4th Mass. Cavalry in 1864. He died of Malarial-typhoid fever in the same year. He's buried in the National Cemetery, Hampton, VA. Sarah became a leader of the Women's Relief Corps. She brought the number of Corps from 472 to 1053 during her term as well as bringing up the number of members from 20, 226 to 36, 632. The amount of charity work reported during her term was $23,481.83. Sarah presided over the Fourth National Convention in San Francisco Aug. 4-7, 1886. Sarah was made a Life Member of the Corps by the Fifth Convention. At the Fourth Convention, Sarah gave Clara Barton the badge with a red Geneva cross as a token of the Corps' gratitude & appreciation. They also accepted Clara as a member at this time. Sarah was Secretary of the Pension and relief Committee, and was the one who pushed the Army Nurse Pension Bill in Congress.
