Jerome Fuller (June 26, 1808 – September 2, 1880) was an American lawyer and chief justice ofMinnesota Territorial Supreme Court from 1851 to 1852.
Fuller was born inLitchfield, Connecticut in 1808, but details are scarce about his early years. At some point he moved toBrockport, New York.[1] He was a member of theNew York State Assembly (Monroe Co.) in1843, and of theNew York State Senate (27th D.) in1848 and1849. He was the founding editor of theAlbany Register newspaper.[2] On November 13, 1851 Fuller was appointed to the Minnesota Territorial Supreme Court by PresidentMillard Fillmore following the removal ofAaron Goodrich.[3] His appointment was denied by theUnited States Senate,[4] but news of this did not reachSt. Paul until after Fuller had arrived and started work. He sat on the court's July 1852 term and continued in his post until the end of that year.[1]
Fuller subsequently returned to Brockport, New York, where he was elected County Judge. He died on September 2, 1880, and was buried with his wife Lucy in High Street Cemetery, Brockport, N.Y.[5]
