    • From Findagrave:

      John Fuller, Jr., s. of John Fuller (Robert,1) and Abigail Titus, b. Sept. 8, 1674 at Rehoboth, Mass. He was the eldest of two children of his parents.

      John was not yet two years old when his father was buried, Aug. 23, 1676, at Rehoboth following one of the numerous Indian attacks on Rehoboth during the King Philips War. Three years later his mother m. 2) as his second wife, Thomas Cushman, Jr. of Plymouth, Mass. It is likely that John and his younger brother Abial spent the balance of their youths in the household of their step-father either at Plymouth or Plympton, Mass. As a result, the two Fuller brothers had older Cushman step-siblings and four younger Cushman half-siblings.

      On Dec. 28, 1701 at Rehoboth, John Fuller, Jr. m. 1) Joanna, dau. of Daniel Shepardson and Elizabeth Call. When and where Joanna was b. is not of record, but she likely was b. during or soon after the period of the King Philips War (1675-1677), which caused many families to temporarily relocate from southern Mass. and adjoining Rhode Island. She d. Aug. 17, 1719 at Attleboro, Mass. By this union were b. six children at Attleboro: daus. Ithamar (Fuller) Freeman, Abigail (Fuller) Shepardson, and Joanna, and sons John, Jeduthan and Abial.

      On June 29, 1720 at Attleboro, Mass., John Fuller, Jr. m. 2) his widowed 1st cousin Sarah Fuller, dau. of Jonathan Fuller and Elizabeth Wilmarth, b. Apr. 23, 1680 at Rehoboth, Mass. They had one recorded child, dau. Sarah b. Sept. 12, 1721 at Attleboro. Sarah had m. 1) in circa 1707 John Follett and had five children by that marriage.

      John Fuller, Jr. later become a Deacon of the Attleboro church and d. at Attleboro on Oct. 4, 1747, Æ 74. His wife Sarah is likely the "Sary" Fuller who d. at Attleboro on March 23, "1750," Æ 70. Where they are interred is currently unknown to the memorialist.
