Edward Fuller
Edward Fuller was born circa 1575 and Christened on 4 Sept 1575. His father was Robert Fuller of Rendenhall, Norfolk, England.
Edward married circa 1605 to a woman whose name was lost to history. In William Bradford original records in Of Plymouth she is referred to as Mrs Fuller. Samuel, their youngest son, is recorded as being born circa 1608/1612 depending on the research document I read.

The Fullers fled England to Leiden, Holland to worship according to the dictates of their hearts, but returned to England to depart with other Puritan pilgrims on the Mayflower. Edward's brother, Samuel Fuller, was also a passenger on the Mayflower.
The Fullers had an older son named Matthew Fuller who did not make the journey until 1640 with his wife and children. He like his uncle, Samuel, were doctors.

The pilgrims finally set sail from England in Sept 1620 and arrived at Plymouth on 18 Dec 1620.
In Nathaniel Philbrick's book, Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War, he mentions that both Edward and his brother, along with other men, were involved in scouting and protecting the community from the native Indians.
Edward died 10 Apr 1621 in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts, British Colonial America. It is believed that Edward's wife died on early Jan 1621 at Plymouth Colony.
Samuel Fuller
Born circa 1608/12 in England and immigrated with his parents aboard the Mayflower.
After his parents death, he lived with his uncle, also named Samuel.
Samuel was made a freeman of the Colony in 1633/4 and moved to Scituate, Massachusetts.
On 8 Apr 1635, Samuel married Jane Lathrop (1614-1683), daughter of Reverend John Lothrop, by military leader and former Mayflower passenger Miles Standish. The couple moved moved to Barnstable in 1639 with Jane's father and other members of his congregation.

Samuel served in the colonial militia.
Died 31 Oct 1683. Although unknown, it is believed Samuel was buried in Lothrop Hill Cemetery.

Jane Lothrop
Jane Lothrop was probably born shortly before she was baptized in Egerton, Kent, England on 29 Sept 1614. She was the daughter of Hannah Howe, who died before her father and other children immigrated to Scituate, Massachusetts Bay Colony on the ship Griffin with the Winthrop Fleet in 1634.
It is believed that Jane died in 1656 in Barnstable. It is possible she is buried in her family's cemetery, Lothrop Hill Cemetery.

"Little John" Fuller
John Fuller of Barnstable was born 11 Jan 1656 to Samuel Fuller and Jane Lothrop. He married Mehitabel Rowley (1660-1759) circa 1678. Mehitable Rowley is the granddaughter of Matthew Fuller, Samuel's brother.
John and Mehitabel had twelve children. The family moved to Connecticut along with other Barnstable families, including the Rowleys, Crockers, Gates, and Olmsteads. They settled in East Haddam, Hartford County, Connecticut sometime before the birth of their son John in 1697.
John Fuller died around 20 May 1726, which might be the probate date of his will, in East Haddam, Hartford, Connecticut. He is buried at Old Cove Burying ground in East Haddam, Middlesex Co, Connecticut. Mehitabel died 31 May 1759 in Mansfield, Windham, CT. It is believed that she is buried in the same cemetery, but she died in a different county and it is possible she is buried in Mansfield area.

When family members die around the same time it makes me wonder if a pandemic occured during that time. In the winter of 1747/8 a "Malignant Pleurisie" occurred at Hartford. Maybe this is what caused the death of these siblings? The Pursuit of a Pestilence by Ernest Caulfield from American Antiquarian Society, April 1950.
