Family Overview
Samuel Fuller was the son of Edward Fuller, who came over on the Mayflower. Edward died within the first year, and Samuel went to live with his uncle, Dr. Samuel Fuller (Doctor of the Pilgrims).
He would survive the hard times and witness the first Thanksgiving thanks to the Wampanoag Tribe along with Squanto.
He met his wife a year after she arrived in Plymouth in 1635. The two would go on to live long lives and have eight children, with seven living past adulthood, which is unheard of during this time period.
