(I) EDWARD FULLER was the son of Robert Fuller, butcher, and was baptized
September 4, 1575, in the parish of Redenhall, county of Norfolk, England. Just
when he fled to Holland with his brother, Dr. Samuel Fuller, is not known, but it
was probably as early as 1607 or 1608. Edward Fuller was of the Leyden contingent
of the “Mayflower’s”passengers and thus present at the historic embarkation
on the “Speedwell,” at Delfshaven, Saturday, July 22-August 1, 1620. His
name appears as the twenty-first signer of the “Compact,” drawn up in the “Mayflower’s”
cabin just previous to her landing at Cape Cod, in November, 1620. The
name of Edward Fuller’s wife, though sometimes given as Anne, is really unknown.
Governor Bradford simply says that Edward Fuller and his wife “died soon after
they came on shore,” that is, in the early spring of 1621, probably about April 1.
These two pilgrims were buried in unmarked graves on Cole’s Hill, at Plymouth.
