    Notes:

    From FindaGrave:

    Lieut. Samuel Fuller,3 born likely in England as the apparent eldest son of Dr. Matthew Fuller,2 (Edward,1 of the Mayflower).[1] Whereas Lieut. Samuel's grandfather Edward Fuller,1 arrived in 1620 aboard the Mayflower, Lieut. Samuel and his father did not arrive in New England until circa Oct. 1640.[2] In his will and at his death, Lieut. Samuel's age is not stated to assist in a realistic estimate of when he was born.

    Samuel d. testate having prepared his will before being engaged as Lieut. of militia forces from the Plymouth Colony, under Capt. Michael Pierce of Scituate, Mass., in the King Philip's War against the Narragansett Indians. Samuel and the major portion of Capt. Pierce's force were killed in action on Sunday, Mar. 26, 1676 and buried at the location of their ambush at present-day Central Falls, Providence County, Rhode Island just west of the Blackstone River.

    By circa 1660 Lieut. Samuel m. Mary, whose maiden name remains unknown.

    • iii. Ann Fuller, b. circa 1670, d. July 2, 1722 at Barnstable, Mass., Æ 53 (g.s.); m. Apr. 29, 1689 at Barnstable, Joseph Smith, s. of Rev. John Smith & Susannah Hinckley. He was b.

    • iv. Timothy Fuller, b. circa 1671, d. Nov. 30, 1748 at East Haddam, Conn., Æ 78 (g.s.); m. 1) by 1694 Sarah Gates at Haddam, Conn., dau. of Capt. George Gates & Sarah Olmsted. She was b.

    • v. Matthias Fuller, b. circa 1672, d. unmarried betw. Aug. 7, 1696 and May 6, 1697 while serving as a soldier in Phipps' Expedition against the French in Canada. Left a will dated Aug. 7, 1696 naming his brother Timothy of Haddam, Conn. as executor of his estate and left property for support of "my honored mother."

    • vi. Abigail Fuller, b. circa 1674, d. Apr. 11, 1718 at Newton, Mass.; m. Apr. 4, 1704 at Hingham, Mass., Israel Stowell, s. of Samuel Stowell & Mary Farrow. He was b. Aug. 10, 1670 at Hingham, Mass. and d. Aug. 7, 1725 at Newton, Mass. Seven children of the family.

    • vii. Sgt. Samuel Fuller, b. Aug. 15, 1676 after his father's death, d. Sept. 29, 1716 at Mansfield, Conn., Æ 41; m.

Elizabeth m. 2) July 8, 1724 at Lebanon, Conn., Miles Standish, grandson of Capt. Myles Standish of the 1620 Mayflower passage and Plymouth Colony. There are no known children of Elizabeth's second marriage.

    [1] Numerous sources on the internet claim Samuel was b. "Feb. 11, 1637" in England, this date being a date in the pre-1752 English Julian calendar, in which, on its face, is historically written in the post-January 1, 1752 modern English Gregorian calendar as Feb. 11, 1637/8. On Feb. 11, 1637/8, Samuel's 1st cousin Samuel (Samuel, Edward) was baptized at Scituate, Mass. The writer believes the date of the known baptism in New England of Samuel's cousin has been erroneously applied as the basis of the "date of birth" for Samuel (Matthew, Edward) in England.

    [2] In 1620 Lieut. Samuel's paternal grandfather Edward Fuller was accompanied on the Mayflower by Edward's son Samuel, Edward's brother Dr. Samuel, and Dr. Samuel's son Samuel. Edward d. at Plymouth in the Spring of 1621, Dr. Samuel d. testate at Plymouth in 1633, while Edward and Dr. Samuel's individual sons named Samuel lived out their lives in New England.
