Mayflower connection
| Our Mayflower connection |
Well - getting back to the Revolution is the easy part! Following a male line all the
way back to the Revolutionary War makes for a simple connection. Connecting to the
Mayflower is a bit more challenging. For this one, we follow female ancestors and
bounce back and forth between names and families, well - kind of, but we get there.
Our ancestors on the Mayflower were the Fullers: Samuel and his parents, Edward &
Ann Fuller and his uncle, also named Samuel. His parents didn't make it through the
first winter, so he was raised by his uncle (father's brother) Where it gets confusing is
that Samuel's uncle named *his* son Samuel, too. So we have Samuel Fuller, his uncle
Samuel and his cousin Samuel. Very confusing, but we made it work. I've even found a
copy of Uncle Samuel's will, taken down in 1633 before he died.
Samuel Fuller eventually married Jane Lathrop - whose father was jailed in England
for heresy and eventually hopped a ship with Anne Hutchison to America. John
Lothrop (or Lowthorpe) is from Yorkshire, England, but helped found the town of
Barnstable, MA. His house there still stands and is currently part of the public library.
In addition, he conflicted with others in his town, so we went on to found the local
Unitarian church, effectively splitting the town's congregation in two.
Here's the Mayflower connection that I've been able to find. Enjoy!

Samuel Fuller - Mayflower passenger
1608 - 10 Nov 1683
Son of Edward and Ann Fuller - passengers on the Mayflower.
Samuel Fuller came on the Mayflower at the age of 12, with his father
Edward Fuller. (He should not be confused with Doctor Samuel Fuller, his
uncle, who also came on the Mayflower). Samuel's parents both died the
first winter at Plymouth. Samuel was apparently raised by his uncle, and
became a freeman of Plymouth in 1634. He married in Scituate the next
year to Jane Tothrop, the daughter of Rev. John Lothrop and his first wife
Hannah Howes. He and wife Jane would raise their family initially at
Scituate, before moving sometime shortly before 1641 to Barnstable. He
would live out the next forty years of his life in Barnstable. His probate
records of 1683-1684 indicate that his wife predeceased him. He also
bequeathed an Indian named Joel to his son John.

Edward and Ann Fuller - Mayflower passengers
04 Sep 1575 - 1621
b. Redenhall, Norfolk England
Boarded the Mayflower in Leiden, Netherlands
Edward Fuller has been generally identified as the son of Robert and Sara
(Dunkhorn) Fuller, baptized on 4 September 1575 at Redenhall, Norfolk.
However, a number of genealogical scholars and Mayflower researchers,
including Robert S. Wakefield, Robert Sherman, Robert Leigh Ward, Robert
C. Anderson, Eugene Stratton, Leslie Mahler, and others, have all questioned
the identification over the past couple of decades. The current identification
is based upon circumstantial evidence only: the fact that the names Samuel,
Edward, and Ann occur within the same family; and the fact the father is
identified as a butcher. Thomas Morton, writing in 1637, says that Samuel
Fuller was the son of a butcher. The name Matthew also occurs in this
Redenhall Fuller family. The counter-evidence is primarily that the ages for
the Fullers appear to be too old, when compared to their marriage dates,
the ages of their spouses, and with the births of their children.
The name of Edward Fuller's wife has not been discovered. In James
Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England
(1860-1862), Edward Fuller's wife was given as "Ann". However, there
are no American or English records which give her name. I suspect James
Savage may have made a simple typographical error: Mayflower passenger
Edward Tilley had a wife Ann; or perhaps he was thinking of their sister
Ann Fuller. None-the-less, numerous sources published after 1860 have
utilized Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, and so the identification of Ann
can be found in numerous other books and online resources.
So, in truth, very little is known about Edward Fuller. His English origins
and the name of his wife are widely disputed. What is known is that he, his
wife, and his son Samuel came on the Mayflower in 1620 to Plymouth. A
single Leiden judicial document mentions Edward Fuller, and proves that he,
like brother Samuel Fuller, were living in Leiden. Both Edward and his wife
died the first winter, but son Samuel (who would have been about 12),
survived. An older brother, Matthew, had stayed behind, and came to
America later.
