Edward Fuller (Mayflower)

Edward Fuller (Mayflower)

Edward Fuller (baptized 4 September 1575; died between 11 January and 10 April 1621) crossed the Atlantic on the "Mayflower" with his wife and his 12 year old son, Samuel. Also accompanying the family was Edward's brother Dr. Samuel Fuller. Edward Fuller was the twenty-first signer of the Mayflower Compact. Both Edward Fuller and his wife died during the first winter in Plymouth Colony. Samuel survived and lived with his uncle after the death of his parents.

Family

Edward, born in the Parish of Redenhall, co. Norfolk, England, was the son of Robert and Sarah (Dunkhorn) Fuller. Edward's wife is commonly believed to be named Ann though no historic documentation exists supporting this name. Edward and his wife had two sons: Mathew and Samuel. Samuel traveled with his parents on the "Mayflower." Mathew, however, traveled to Plymouth in about 1640 with his wife and three children. Descendants of his brother still live around the Plymouth area to this day.

Famous descendants

Famous descendants include Melville Weston Fuller, Joseph Smith, Jr., David Souter, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Erskine Hamilton Childers. Smith descends from Edward's son Samuel who married John Lothropp's daughter Jane.
