Edward FULLER

1575 - 1620  (~ 44 years)

• Name	Edward FULLER  [1, 2]
  	Edward Fuller, his wife, and son Samuel came to Plymouth on the MAYFLOWER in 1620. Edward was one of those who signed the Mayflower Compact on 11 November 1620. Governor Bradford's account of the MAYFLOWER'S passengers, written early in 1651, lists among the passengers "Edward Fuller, and his wife; and Samuell their sonne." Bradford further states: "Edwrd ffuller, and his wife dyed soon after they came ashore; but their sonne Samuel is living, and married and hath 4 children or more. Edward Fuller was baptized at the parish of Redenhall, County of Norfolk, England on 4 September 1575, son of Robert Fuller. While some accounts make him the son of Frances, who is named in Robert's will, a convincing case has been made that Frances was the second wife of Robert Fuller, and that Robert Fuller married first, at Starston Parish, Norfolk, England, 29 January 1572/3 Sara Dunkhorn and that she is the mother of Edward and Samuel Fuller of the MAYFLOWER. Sara Fuller, wife of Robert Fuller, was buried at Redenhall 1 July 1584. Redenhall and Starston are adjacent parishes. The will of Robert Fuller of the parish of Redenhall, yeoman, dated 19 May 1613, proved 31 May 1614 by the widow, and 16 June 1614 by Thomas Fuller, names wife Frances; sons Edward Samuel and Thomas; daughters Ann fuller, Elizabeth Fuller and Mary Fuller; grandson John Fuller, son of his son John Fuller Edward Fuller and his unnamed wife were among the English Separatists living in Leiden, Holland. Edward is mentioned in Leiden Judicial Archives 79, L, Folio 172 verso. Savage calls his wife Ann, but there is no known evidence that this was her name. There has long been a question as to whether Mathew Fuller was actually a son of Edward. For a full detailed discussion of Matthew Fuller's parentage, see the article "Was Matthew Fuller of Plymouth Colony a Son of Pilgrim Edward Fuller?" which confirms the relationship. [1]
