WFT Est. 1555-1596 in England.(3) Children were: Samuel FULLER, Edward FULLER, Thomas FULLER. Samuel Fuller, born in England, was baptized in the parish of Redenhall in Harleston, County of Norfolk, 20 January 1580. He and his brothers Edward and Thomas were sons of Robert Fuller, a butcher in Redenhall, and were mentioned in Robert Fuller's will of 19 May 1614. The will was proved 31 May 1614, and is recorded at the Norfolk Archdeaconry Court, Norwich Register, 1614, folio 259. Samuel Fuller married first ALICE GLASCOCK, who died before 1613. He was betrothed in Leyden, Holland as the widower of Alice Glascock, 16 March 1613, to Agnes Carpenter from Wrington, England, one of the daughters of Alexander Carpenter. She was baptized in Wrington 16 December 1593. At his betrothal Samuel was accompanied by Alexander Carpenter and William Hoyt, Samuel's brother-in-law, and by Roger Wilson and Edward Southworth, acquaintances. Agnes was accompanied by her sister Alice, and by Agnes White. Samuel Fuller and AGNES CARPENTER were married 24 April 1613. She died in Leyden in 1615. Samuel married third in Leyden 27 May 1617 BRIDGET LEE, daughter of Josephine (from Dutch "Joos") Lee and sister of Samuel Lee, who were witnesses to the marriage. Samuel Fuller was one of the band of Pilgrims that fled from England to Leyden, Holland, in 1609. On 7 October 1611 he witnessed the betrothal of Degory Priest, and on 27 January 1612, the betrothal of a William White to Ann Fuller. Ann was possibly a kinswoman of Samuel. Later, Samuel lived in Pieterskerkhof; after marrying Bridget Lee, he took up residence near Marepoort. On 10 June 1620, he joined with Isaac Allerton, William Bradford, and Edward Winslow in a letter to their associates, John Carver and Robert Cushman, then in England, concerning the affairs of the Pilgrims. According to Bradford's History of Plimoth Plantation, Samuel Fuller brought with him on the Mayflower a servant by the name of William Butten, who died at sea. Samuel left his wife and a child behind; after they came over, "he had tow children by her, which are living and growne up to years, but he dyed some 15 years agoe." Samuel Fuller was a deacon of the church in Leyden and later in Plymouth. He was one of the forty-one signers of the Mayflower Compact. In the land division of 1623, Samuel was allotted two shares. The family was named in the division of cattle and goats 22 May 1627 old style, when "Samuell Fuller, his wife Bridgett, and Samuell Fuller Jr." with ten other inhabitants received a "red Heyfer" and "two shee goats." He was a physician and surgeon, and his services were in demand in the Massachusetts Bay Colony as well as in Plymouth. In 1629 he was sent to Salem where many of the newly arrived colonists were ill. On May 11 Mr. Endicott wrote to Bradford in Plymouth expressing appreciation for Dr. Fuller's services. Debts for these services in 1629 and others rendered by the doctor may have gone unpaid, as Samuel Fuller in his will four years later wrote, "Whereas Capt. John Endicott oweth me two pownds of Beaver I give it to his sonne ... Whatsoever mr. Roger Williams is indebted to me upon my booke for Phisick I freely give him ... Whatsoever is due me from Capt. Standish I give unto his Children ..." In 1632 Samuel Fuller was a member of the Governor's Council, called Assistants. In 1633 Plymouth suffered an epidemic, believed to have been smallpox. Bradford wrote, "It pleased the Lord to Visite them this year with an infectious fevoure, of which many fell very sicke, and upwards of 20 persons dyed ... and in ye end (after he had much helped others) Samuel Fuller, who was their surgeon and phisition, and had been a great help and comforte unto them; as in his facultie, so otherwise, being a deacon of ye church, a man godly, and forward to doe good, being much missed after his death ..." Samuel Fuller died in Plymouth between 9 August and 26 September 1633. He made his will 30 July 1633, and it was proved 28 October 1633. The will and the inventory of his estate have been published in full. In his will he mentioned three youths entrusted to his care and education: Sarah Converse, who was to be brought up by his wife or by Thomas Prence; Elizabeth Cowles, who was to be returned to her parents in Charlestown; and George Foster, who was to be returned to his mother in Saugus. He bequeathes "the education of my children to my brother Will Wright & his wife (Priscilla, a sister of Agnes Carpenter) onely that my daughter Mercy be & remaine with goodwife Wallen so long as she shall keepe her at a reasonable charge." Others mentioned were: his neighbor Thomas Prence, his servants Thomas Symons and Robert Cowles, his sister (in-law) Alice Bradford, John Jenny, Joh. Winslow, Mrs. Heeks (Hicks), "old mr. Willm Brewster," Rebecca Prence, and his "Cozen" (i.e., nephew) Sam. Fuller, who had been left in Dr. Samuel Fuller's care upon the death of Edward Fuller and the latter's wife during the winter of 1620-21. Samuel named his executor and overseers as follows: "I institute my son Samuell my Executor and because he is young and tender I enjoyne him to be wholly ordered by Edw. Wynslow mr. Wil Bradford & mr Tho. Prence whom I make his Overseers & the Overseers of this my last will & Testmt." Samuel's third wife, Bridget (Lee) Fuller, came to Plymouth in 1623 on the Anne, bringing one child with her. Shortly after her husband's death she opened a small private school. In 1633 the town of Rehoboth voted to invite Mrs. Bridget Fuller to "come and dwell amongst us, to attend on the office of midwife, to answer the town's necessity, which at present is great." The date and place of Bridget's death are not recorded, but she died after 1 March 1664 O. S. Samuel's father Robert Fuller was a butcher in Redenhall, Norfolk County, England. from Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Volume One, Arthur H. & Katharine W.

On 16 March 1648/9 Samuel Fuller, with the consent of his mother Bridget Fuller, sold to Lt. Matthew Fuller two acres of land in Plymouth. Samuel Fuller was a physician and minister. In 1663 the Town of Rehoboth voted to ask him to become their physician, but he never settled there. His mother was also asked to go there as a midwife. However, as there was no resident doctor in Rehoboth at the time, Dr. Fuller may have gone there temporarily to attend Thomas Bowen and in that way may have become acquainted with Elizabeth Bowen whom he afterwards married. In 1676 the Indians burned his home in Middleboro, and he returned to Plymouth until the war with the Indians was over. On 19 Dec. 1678 he was called to preach in Middleboro and became their first minister. He was ordained 26 Dec. 1694, a few months before his death. Samuel's widow Elizabeth was appointed administratrix of his estate 25 Sept. 1695. An agreement of the heirs, including the widow and "all of the children of Mr. Samuel Fuller," was signed 1 Oct. 1695 and acknowledged 27 July 1696 with John Nelson signing as guardian for Issac Fuller. from Mayflower Families Through Five Generations The first minister was Samuel Fuller, a son of Dr. Fuller, the skilful physician who came over in the Mayflower. Before his removal to Middleboro he was one of the deacons of the church in Plymouth. When he first came to town it is impossible to state, but he was here before the Indian War of 1675, and from the statement in Rev. Mr. Barker's sermon, he returned shortly after the resettlement. He preached to the people for sixteen years before he was ordained, and died a few months after his ordination, August 17, 1695, at the age of seventy-one. The following is the inscription on the stone marking his grave:-- [HER]E LYES BURIED YE [BODY OF YE REVD MR [SA]MUEL FULLER WHO [D]EPATED THS LIFE AUGST YE 17TH 1695 IN YE 71ST YEAR OF HIS AGE HE WAS YE 1ST MINISTER OF YE 1ST CHURCH OF CHRIST IN mIDDLEGH The town voted to pay Mr. Fuller a "salarie" in 1680, of twenty pounds; at one time "1/3 was to be paid in silver, and the 2/3 in Wheat at 7/6, Rie at 3s, Corn at 2/6;" this was later changed to "1/4 in silver money, 3/4 in current pay as passeth between man and man." He was one of the few to have the title of Mr. prefixed to his name. There is no record of his holding office, although he served as magistrate in writing wills and preparing other legal papers for the people. He was not a college graduate, as were many ministers, but was none the less regarded as a learned man. It was doubtless through his influence and labors that there were so many praying Indians in the town, and that their churches before the breaking out of the Indian War were so prosperous. As one of the original owners in the Twenty-six Men's Purchase, his allotment was set off in 1664, and was not included in what was given as the "ministers lot." In 1679 the town by vote gave to Mr. Samuel Fuller a tract of land upon which he then lived, embracing about twelve acres, a little to the east of the Sturtevant place. The town also voted "to turn out and fence his fields, and every one who did not was to pay a bushel of corn."
