* General Notes
o Samuel Fuller came on the Mayflower at the age of 12, with his father Edward Fuller. (He should not be confused with Doctor Samuel Fuller, his uncle, who also came on the Mayflower). Samuel's parents both died the first winter at Plymouth. Samuel was apparently raised by his uncle, Dr. Samuel Fuller, and became a freeman of Plymouth in 1634.
At division of lands in 1624, Samuel was counted as three persons out of respect for his parents.
He married in Scituate the next year to Jane Tothrop, the daughter of Rev. John Lothrop and his first wife Hannah Howes.
Samuel was married at Mr. Cudworth's house by Capt. Miles Standish, Magistrate, "on ye fourthe day of ye weeke April 8-18, 1635, to Jane Lathrop, daughter of Rev. John Lathrop". He is on the rolls of the Scituate Church on 7 Nov. 1636.
The year following Samuel and Jane's marriage, 1636, Sam and Jane built a pallizadse style house in Scituate, located on Greenfield Street. It had walls of poles, filled in with stones and clay, with a thatched roof, windows of oiled paper and a floor of hand sawed planks.
He and wife Jane raised their family initially at Scituate, before moving sometime shortly before 1641 to Barnstable. He would live out the next forty years of his life in Barnstable, where he farmed. They had nine children.
His probate records of 1683-1684 indicate that his wife predeceased him. He also bequeathed an Indian named Joel to his son John.
He was constable of Scituate in 1641 but moved to Barnstable later becoming the only passenger of the Mayflower to settle permanently in that location.
His Will was dated 29 Oct. 1683 and probated 5 June 1684 in Barnstable, Barstable, Massachusetts, in which he gives his Indian Joell to his son John.
