Fuller, Edward ( -1621)

Edward Fuller came to Plymouth in the Mayflower, 1620, with his wife (Ann?) and small son Samuel and brother Samuel. Another son, Matthew, was left behind in Holland, but he followed to the new home in America in a later expedition. The family had lived in Leyden, Holland, for a short period of time, but they came originally from Redenhall, Norfolk, England. Edward was the 21st signer of the "Compact," the agreement drawn up in the cabin of the Mayflower shortly before the landing at Plymouth Rock. Both Edward and his wife died during the first winter on these shores. JONES-THOMPSON Family Tree

Fuller, Matthew (abt 1603-1678)

Matthew Fuller was born in England, son of Edward Fuller. He did not embark in the Mayflower with his parents, but came with a later group of emigrants as head of a family. It is thought that while in England, he had married Francis ___, credited with being the mother of some, if not all, of his children, two sons and three daughters, some of whom were born before leaving England. Matthew brought his family to Plymouth by 1640. Plymouth colony records in September of that year describe his garden place in Plymouth and the six acres of land which he had recently purchased from John Gregory. In 1642, he had land assigned to him, was a juryman, and was propounded as freeman. The next year he was appointed sergeant of the military company raised in Plymouth, Duxbury, and Marshfield, of which Myles Standish was captain. In about 1650, he removed to Barnstable where he followed the profession of physician. He took a public stand on the side of the unpopular Quakers there and received a fine for it. In 1654, he appears as lieutenant under Captain Standish of the fifty men raised as Plymouth's quota to expel the Dutch from Manhatten; however he saw no service because peace between England and Holland was declared before his force departed. In 1673, he became Surgeon General of the Plymouth colony forces, and he was a captain in 1676 in King Philip's War. Matthew Fuller of Barnstable prepared a will dated 25 July 1678 which was sworn 30 October 1678. His wife Frances was executrix. JONES-THOMPSON Family Tree
