Biography

SAMUEL FULLER, the son of Robert Fuller and Sarah Bowen, was born in 1649.^[1]

He married MARY IDE, December 12, 1673 at Rehoboth, Massachusetts.^[2][3]

Samuel Fuller died August 15, 1676 at Rehoboth, Massachusetts. His wife was Mary Ide, his mother was Sarah (Bowen) Fuller (abt.1624-1676), and his father was Robert Fuller (abt.1615-1706).^[4]

During King Phillip's War in 1676, Samuel's mother Sarah Fuller, and her sons, John and Samuel [this profile] and son-in-law Nehemiah Sabin, were killed during an Indian attack on the town. Father Robert's home and most of those in the town were destroyed in a raid during King Philips' War. ^[5] Samuel was buried August 15, 1676 at Rehoboth, Massachusetts.^[6]

Child of Samuel Fuller and Mary Ide

Samuel Fuller was born 25 Nov 1676 a few months after the death of his father,^[7] or 23 Nov 1676 in Rehoboth^[8]

His inventory was taken on 29 August 1676. It includes property "which was his father's: viz. Robert Fuller". Mary Fuller, his widow made oath to the truth of the inventory on 17 November 1676.^[9]

No Daughter Abigail

No evidence has been found that Samuel and his wife, Mary (Ide) Fuller had a daughter, Abigail. There have been no reliable sources found with proof of a marriage between an Abigail Fuller, and Israel Stowell.

Research Notes

Samuel Fuller, is often confused with Samuel Fuller (abt.1630-1676). However, Samuel Fuller's father is Matthew Fuller. For over a century, there has been confusion between Matthew Fuller of a Mayflower line -- presumed son of Edward Fuller, -- and Matthew Fuller, a son of John. The clearest explanation is that offered by Bruce Campbell MacGunnigle, _et al._, in The American Genealogist in 1985;^[10] MacGunnigle's conclusion that Capt. Matthew Fuller was indeed a son of Edward was accepted by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, and published in the GSMD's "Silver Book".^[11]
