"In the results of Mr. Dexter's researches among the records of Holland, published in a volume entitled 'The England and Holland of the Pilgrims,' Samuel1 Fuller is mentioned as a witness Oct. 7, 1611, to the betrothal of Degory Priest, and to that of William White Jan. 27, 1612."
"...witness...to the betrothal...of Samuel Terry May 16, 1614."
"...was a witness Aug. 7, 1615, to the betrothal of Samuel Butler, and that of Edmond Jessup Sept. 16, 1615."
"...Samuel fuller witnessed the betrothal of John Goodman Sept. 16, 1619. He joined with Isaac Allerton, Mr. Bradford and Mr. Winslow June 10, 1620, in a letter concerning the affairs of the Pilgrims, to their associates, Mr. Carver and Mr. Cushman, then in England.
"The Pilgrims left Holland for America about Aug. 1, 1620, by way of Southampton, County Hampshire, England, and Samuel1 Fuller's name appears as one of the signers of the "Compact" drawn up for the government of the Colony at Cape Cod, in November, 1620, in the vicinity of what is now Provincetown, Mass. Some days later the Pilgrims made a permanent landing and settled at what is now Plymouth, Mass."

Mention having been made of a "Fuller Fund" for the support of the ministry of
the Plymouth church, the foundation of said fund being the proceeds derived from
the sale of a plot of ground on Leyden Street given to the church for a
parsonage by Mrs. Bridget (Lee) Fuller, widow of Dr. Samuel Fuller, and Samuel
Fuller his son, I wrote the pastor of the Congregational church in Plymouth and
received the following: "The fund you wrote about is the "Fuller Ministerial
Fund," which is used for the purpose named in your note, but not from the source
you mentioned. That place was sold and the money used. The "fund" came from an
unborn calf. I mean that the calf was bequeathed before it came into the world,
and the proceeds of it when a cow was allowed to accumulate, and it has grown
into the thousands. This is the history of the "Fuller Ministerial Fund."
Readers are referred to the item in Dr. Samuel's will, given above, relative to
"the first cow calfe that my Browne Cow shall have."

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:
Samuel Fuller was one of the original
members of the Pilgrims church, and fled England for Holland in 1609. Samuel
Fuller became a surgeon and physician, making him an important member of the
Plymouth Colony (and other colonies as well once emigration to Massachusetts
picked up). Samuel Fuller also played a prominent role in the congregation,
becoming a deacon of the church in Plymouth. Samuel Fuller died in the 1633
epidemic at Plymouth. William Bradford wrote:
. . . and in the end, after he had much helped others, Samuel Fuller who was their surgeon and physician and had been a great help and comfort unto them. As in his faculty, so otherwise being a deacon of the church, a man godly and forward to do good, being much missed after his death. And he and the rest of their brethren much lamented by them and caused much sadness and mourning amongst them, which caused them to humble themselves and seek the Lord; and towards winter it pleased the Lord the sickness ceased.

Samuel Fuller & the Leiden Separatists
That Samuel Fuller was considered a leader in the Pilgrim community in Leiden
can be seen from the following letter of June 1620 between the Leyden Committee
and their agents in London concerning changes in the agreement with the Merchant
Adventurers who were financing the Pilgrims' voyage to and settlement in North
America :
"To their loving friends John Carver and Robert Cushman, these, etc.
"Good brethren, after salutations, etc. We received divers letters at the coming
of Mr. Nash and our pilot, which is a great encouragement unto us, and for whom
we hope after times will minister occasion of praising God. And indeed, had you
not sent him, many would have been ready to faint and go back, partly in respect
of the new conditions which have been taken up by you (which all men are
against), and partly in regard of our own inability to do any one of those many
weighty businesses you refer to us here. For the former whereof, whereas Robert
Cushman desires reasons for our dislike, promising thereupon to alter the same,
or else saying we should think he hath no brains, we desire him to exercise them
therein, referring him to our pastor's former reasons, and them to the censure
of the godly wise. But our desires are that you will not entangle yourselves and
us in any such unreasonable courses as those are; viz. that the merchants should
have the half of men's houses and lands at the dividend, and that persons should
be deprived of the two days in a week agreed upon, yea every moment of time for
their own Particular; by reason whereof we cannot conceive why any should carry
servants for their own help and comfort, for that we can require no more of them
than all men one of another. This we have only be relation from Mr. Nash, and
not from any writing of your own, and therefore hope you have not proceeded far
in so great a thing without us. But requiring you not to exceed the bounds of
your commission, which was to proceed upon the things or conditions agreed upon
and expressed in writing (at your going over about it), we leave it; not without
marveling that yourself, as you write, knowing how small a thing troubleth our
consultations, and how few, as you fear, understands the business aright, should
trouble us with such matters as these are, etc...
"Thus beseeching the Almighty, who is all sufficient to raise us out of this
depth of difficulties, to assist us herein; raising such means by His providence
and fatherly care for us, His poor children and servants, as we may with comfort
behold the hand of our God for good towards us in this our business which we
undertake in His name and fear, we take leave and remain
"Your perplexed, yet hopeful brethren,

"I shall ... begin with a combination made by them before they came ashore ;
being the first foundation of their government in this place. Occasioned partly
by the discontented and mutinous speeches that some of the strangers amonst them
had let fall from them in the ship: That when they came ashore they would use
their own liberty, for none had power to command them, the patent they had being
for Virginia and not for New England... And partly that such an act by them
done, this their condition considered, might be as firm as any patent, and in
some respects more sure.
"The form was as followeth : IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We whose names are
underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the
Grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith,
etc. Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian
Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in

furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and
frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices,
from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general
good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In
witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the 11th of
November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England,
France and Ireland the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini

Samuel & Bridget Fuller and the 1623 Division of
Land
The 1623 Division of Land marked the end of the Pilgrims' earliest system of
land held in common by all. Governor Bradford explains it in this way:
"And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion
of their number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for
inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good
success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was
planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other
could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content.
The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with
them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have
compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression."
William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647, ed. Samuel Eliot Morison
(New York : Knopf, 1991), p. 120.
Plymouth Colony Records, Deeds, &c, Vol I 1627-1651 is the oldest record book of the Plymouth settlement. It begins with the 1623 Division of Land, recorded in the handwriting of Governor William Bradford. The lands of Samuel Fuller are among those "The Falles of their grounds which came first over in the May Floure, according as thier lotes were case" and described as "these lye on the South side of the brooke."
Samuel & Bridget Fuller and the 1627 Division of
Cattle
Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. I also tells of the 1627 Division of Cattle:
"At a publique court held the 22th of May it was concluded by the whole
Companie, that the cattell wch were the Companies, to wit, the Cowes & the
Goates should be equally devided to all the psonts of the same company ... & so
the lotts fell as followeth, thirteene psonts being pportioned to one lot...
"The eaight lot fell to Samuell ffuller & his company Joyned to him his wife (2)
Bridgett ffuller (3) Samuell ffuller Junior (4) Peeter Browne (5) Martha Browne
(6) Mary Browne (7) John fford (8) Martha fford (9) Anthony Anable (10) Jane
Anable (11) Sara Anable (12) hanah Anable (13) Thom Morton Senor (14) Damaris
Hopkins.
"To this lott fell A Red [h]eyfer Came of the Cow wch belongeth to the poore of
the Colony & so is of that Consideration. (viz) thes psonts nominated, to haue
half the Increace, the other halfe, with the ould stock, to remain for the vse
of the poore.
"To this lott also two shee goats."
Samuel Fuller : a 1626 "Purchaser"
In 1621, King James I authorized the Council for New England to plant and govern
land in this area. This Council granted the Peirce Patent, confirming the
Pilgrims' settlement and governance of Plymouth. Peirce and his associates, the
merchant adventurers, were allotted 100 acres for each settler the Company
transported. The Pilgrims had a contract with the Company stating all land and
profits would accrue to the Company for 7 years at which time the assets would
be divided among the shareholders. Most of the Pilgrims held some stock. The
Pilgrims negotiated a more favorable contract with the Company in 1626. In 1627,
53 Plymouth freemen, known as "The Purchasers," agreed to buy out the Company
over a period of years. In turn, 12 "Undertakers" (8 from Plymouth and 4 from
London) agreed to pay off Plymouth's debts in return for trade benefits.
Samuel Fuller was on of the 53 Plymouth
Purchasers. Samuel Fuller had also been involved in the negotiations with the
Merchant Adventurers that led to the more favorable contract. Governor William
Bradford wrote in his letter book :
"This next year being Anno. 1626, we sent Mr. Allerton into England, partly to
make some supply for us, and to see if he could make any reasonable composition
with the adventurers and because we well knew that nothing can be done without
money, we gave him an order to procure some, binding ourselves to make payment
thereof as followeth :
"Know all men by thee presents, that whereas we William Bradford, Governour of
Plymouth in New England, and William Brewster, Capt. Miles Standish, Isaac
Allerton, Samuel Fuller, Edward Winslow, John Jeney, John Howland, and John
Allden; being all inhabitants of Plymouth, aforesaid, are for ourselves, and
divers others, our associates, &c. And whereas the said Isaac Allerton (by God's
providence) for the necessary occasions of the colony abovesaid, is bound for
England; and whereas divers of us above named, have acquainted divers of our
worthy and approved friends (by our letters) with our raw and weak estate, and
want of ability of ourselves to manage so great an action, as the upholding of
the plantation aforesaid. If therefore God shall move the heart or hearts of any
of our friends, in compassion of our wants and present straits, to lend us above
named, the sum of one hundred pounds sterling, for the space of two years, upon

Samuel Fuller : Physician

themselves procured it in not staying in the house, at our command; yet if they
would return home with us, our surgeon should heal them."

1622 : "At length their [Master Weston's men]
coasters returned, having found in their judgment a place fit for plantation,
within the bay of the Massachusets at a place called by the Indians
Wichaguscusset. To which place the body of them went with all convenient speed,
leaving still with us such as were sick and lame, by the Governor's permission,
though on their parts undeserved; whom our surgeon, by the help of God,
recovered gratis for them, and they fetched home, as occasion served."

Young, Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers (Boston, Charles C. Little & James

1629 : "...sundry of those that came from Leyden
came over in the ships that came to Salem, where Mr. Endecott had chief command;
and by infection that grew among the passengers at sea, it spread also among
them ashore, of which many died, some of the scurvy, other of an infectious
fever which continued some time amongst them, though our people through God's
goodness escaped it. Upon which occasion he writ hither for some help,
understanding here was one that had some skill that way and had cured divers of
the scurvy, and others of other diseases by letting blood and other means. Upon
which his request, the Governor here sent him unto them and also writ to him
from whom he received an answer, the which, because it is brief and shows the
beginning of their acquaintance and closing in the truth and ways of God, I
thought it not unmeet nor without use here to insert it, and another showing the
beginning of their fellowship and church estate there. Being as followeth:
"RIGHT WORTHY SIR : It is a thing not usual that servants to one master and of
the same household should be strangers; I assure you I desire it not, nay to
speak more plainly I cannot be so to you. Gods's People are all marked with one
and the same mark and sealed with one and the same seal, and have for the main,
one and the same heart guided by one and same spirit of truth...
"I acknowledge myself much bound to you for your kind love and care in sending
Mr. Fuller among us, and rejoice much that I am by him satisfied touching your
judgments of the outward form of God's worship...
"Your assured loving friend,
John Endicott."

28 June 1630 [from Salem] : "Sir [William
Bradford],
"The gentlemen here lately come over (as I suppose you understand of their
arrival ere this, by Jonathan Brewster) are resolved to sit down at the head of
Charles river, and they of Matapan purpose to go and plant with them. I have
been at Matapan, at the request of Mr. Warham, and let some twenty of these
people blood; I had conference with them, till I was weary. Mr. Warham holds
that the visible church may consist of a mixed people, godly, and openly
ungodly; upon which point we had all our conference, to which, I trust, the Lord
will give a blessing. Here is come over, with these gentlemen, one Mr. Phillips
(a Suffolk man) who hath told me in private, that if they will have him stand
minister, by that calling which he received from the prelates in England, he
will leave them : The Governour is a godly, wise, and humble gentleman, and very
discreet, and of a fine and good temper. We have some privy enemies in the bay
(but blessed be God) more friends; the Governour hath had converence with me,
both in private and before sundry others; opposers there is not wanting, and
satan is busy; but if the Lord be on our side who can be against us; the
Governour hath told me he hoped we will not be wanting in helping them, so that
I think you will be sent for : Here is a gentleman, one Mr. Cottington, a Boston
man, who told me, that Mr. Cotton's charge at Hampton was, that they should take
advice of them at Plymouth, and should do nothing to offend them : Captain
Endicott (my dear friend, and a friend to us all) is a second Burrow; the Lord
establish him, and us all in every good way of truth : Other things I would have
writ of but time prevents me ; again I may be with you before this letter ;
remember me unto God in your prayers, and so I take my leave, with my loving
salutations to yourself and all the rest.
"Yours in the Lord Christ,
Samuel Fuller"

26 July 1630 [a letter from Salem] : "Being at
Salem the 25th of July, being the Sabbath, after the evening exercise Mr.
Johnson having received a letter from the Governour, Mr. Winthrop, manifesting
the hand of God to be upon them, and against them, at Charlestown, in visiting
them with sickness and taking divers from amongst them, not sparing the
righteous, but partaking with the wicked in those bodily judgments, it was
therefore by his desire, taken into the godly consideration of the best here,
what was to be done to pacify the Lord's wrath; and they would do nothing
without our advice, I mean those members of our church, there known unto them,
viz. Mr. Fuller Mr. Allerton and myself, requiring our voices, as their own,
when it was concluded, that the Lord was to be sought in righteousness; and so
to that end the sixth day (being Friday) of this present week is set apart, that
they may humble themselves before God, and seek him in his ordinances; and that
then also such godly persons that are amongst them and known each to other,
publicly at the end of their exercise, make known their godly desire, and
practice the same, viz. solemnly to enter into covenant with the Lord to walk in
his ways; and since they are so disposed of in their outward estates, as to live
in three distinct places, each having men of ability amongst them, there to
observe the day, and become three distinct bodies; not then intending rashly to
proceed to the choice of officers, or the admitting of any other into their
society than a few, to wit, such as are well known unto them, promising after to
receive in such, by confession, as shall appear to be fitly qualified for that
estate; and, as they desired to advise with us, so do they earnestly entreat
that the church at Plymouth would set apart the same day, for the same ends,
beseeching God as to withdraw his hand of correction, so to establish and direct
them in his ways; and though the time be very short, yet since the causes are so
urgent, we pray you be provoked to this godly work, wherein God will be
honoured, and they and we undoubtedly have sweet comfort in so doing: Be you all
kindly saluted in the Lord, together with the rest of our brethren : The Lord be
with you and his spirit direct you, in this and all other actions that concern
his glory and the good of his :

2 August 1630 : Sir [William Bradford],
"There is come hither a ship (with cattle, and more passengers) on Saturday last
; which brings this news out of England ; that the plague is sore, both in the
city and country, and that the University of Cambridge is shut up by reason
thereof ; also, that there is like to be a great dearth in the land by reason of
a dry season. The Earl of Pembroke is dead, and Bishop Laud is Chancellor of
Oxford; and that five sundry ministers are to appear before the High Commission,
amongst whom, Mr. Cotton, of Boston, is one. The sad news here is, that many are
sick, and many are dead, the Lord in mercy look upon them! Some are here entered
into a church covenent, the first four, namely, the Governour, Mr. John
Winthrop, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Dudley, and Mr. Willson; since that, five more are
joined unto them, and others it is like will add themselves to them daily. The
Lord increase them, both in number and holiness, for his mercy;s sake. I here
but lose time and long to be at home, I can do them no good, for I want drugs,
and things fitting to work with: I purpose to be at home this week (if God
permit) and Mr. Johnson, and Captain Endicott will come with me; and upon their
offer, I requested the Governour to bear them company, who is desirous to come,
but saith he cannot be absent two hours. Mrs. Cottington is dead. Here are
divers honest christians that are desirous to see us; some out of love, which
they bear to us, and the good persuasion they have of us ; other to see whether
we be so evil, as they have heard of us. We have a name of love and holiness to
God and his saints; the Lord make us answerable and that it may be more than a
name, or else it will do us no good. Be you lovingly saluted, and my sisters,
with Mr. Brewster, and Mr. Smith, and all the rest of our friends. The Lord
Jesus bless us and the whole Israel of God. Amen.
"Your loving brother in law,
Samuel Fuller."

Samuel Fuller : the UNTRUE Story
In 1637, Thomas Morton of Merrymount, an enemy of the Pilgrims, wrote a bizarre
and satirical book called The New English Canaan. Morton wrote exaggerated and
often false accounts of the Pilgrim leaders, including Samuel Fuller. The
following are the words of Thomas Morton :
"Of a Doctor made at a Commencement in New
Canaan.
"The Church of Plimmouth, having due regard to the weale publike and the
Brethren that were to come over, and knowing that they would be busily imployed
to make provision for the cure of Soules, and therefore might neglect the body
for that time, did hold themselves to be in duety bound to make search for a
fitting man, that might be able, (if so neede requir'd,) to take the chardge
upon him in that place of imployment : and therefore called a Counsell of the
whole Synagoge : amongst which company, they chose out a man that long time had
bin nurst up in the tender bosome of the Church : one that had speciall gifts :
hee could wright and reade ; nay, more : hee had tane [taken] the oath of
adjuration, which is a speciall stepp, yea, and a maine degree unto perferment.
Him they weane, and out of Phaos boxe fitt him with special guifts of no lesse
worth : they stile him Doctor, and forth they send him to gaine imployment and
opinion.
"What luck is it I cannot hit on his name : but I will give you him by a
periphrasis, that you may know him when you meete him next.
"Hee was borne at Wrington, in the County of Somerset, where hee was bred a
Butcher. Hee weares a longe beard, and a Garment like the Greeke that beggd in
Pauls Church. This new made Doctor, comes to Salem to congratulate : where hee
findes some are newly come from Sea, and ill at ease.
"He takes the patient, and the urinall : eies the State threr; findes the Crasis
Symptomes, and the attomi natantes : and tells the patient that his disease was
winde, which he had tane [taken] by gapeing feasting over board at Sea ; but hee
would quickly ease him of that greife, and quite expell the winde. And this hee
did performe, with his gifts hee had : and then hee handled the patient so
handsomely, that hee eased him of all the winde hee had in an instant.
"And yet I hope this man may be forgiven, if hee were made a fitting Plant for
Heaven.
"How hee went to worke with his gifts is a question ; yet hee did a great cure
for Captaine Littleworth, hee cured him of a disease called a wife : and yet I
hope this may may be forgiven, if shee were made a fitting plant for heaven.
"By this meanes hee was allowed 4.p a moneth, and the chirgeon's chest, and made
Phisition generall of Salem : where hee exercised his gifts so well, that of
full 42, that there hee tooke to cure, there is not one has more cause to
complaine, or can say black's his eie. This saved Captaine Littleworths credit,
that had truck'd away the vittels : though it brought forth a scandall on the
Country by it : and then I hope this man may be forgiven, if they were all made
fitting plants for Heaven.
"But in mine opinion, hee deserved to be set upon a palfrey and lead up and
downe in triumph throw new Canaan, with a coller of Iurdans about his neck, as
was one of like desert in Richard the seconds time through the streets of
London, that men might know where to finde a Quacksalver."

Jr., ed. (Boston : Prince Society, 1883), p. 297-299.
Samuel Fuller : His Death
"And seeing it hath pleased Him to give me [William Bradford] to see thirty
years completed since these beginnings, and that the great works of His
providence are to be observed, I have thought it not unworthy my pains to take a
view of the decreasings and increasings of these persons and such changes as
hath passed over them and theirs in this thirty years...
"Mr. Fuller his servant died at sea; and after his wife came over he had two
children by her, which are living and grown up to years; but he died some
fifteen years ago."

year with an infectious fever of which many fell very sick and upward of 20
persons died, men and women, besides children, and sundry of them of their
ancient friends which had lived in Holland, as Thomas Blossom, Richard
Masterson, with sundry others; and in the end, after he had much helped others,
Samuel Fuller who was their surgeon and physician and had been a great help and
comfort unto them. As in his faculty, so otherwise being a deacon of the church,
a man godly and forward to do good, being much missed after his death. And he
and the rest of their brethren much lamented by them and caused much sadness and
mourning amongst them, which caused them to humble themselves and seek the Lord;
and towards winter it pleased the Lord the sickness ceased."

1663 : "`It was voted,' on July 3, 1663, `by the
towne [of Rehoboth] to send a letter to Samuel ffuller (a physician) of
Plymouth, that if he will come upon trial according to his own proposition, the
town is willing to accept of hom; and in case the towne and he do accord, the
towne is willing to accomodate him in the best way they can for his
encouragement.'
"`It was also voted and agreed that his mother should be sent, to, to see if she
be willing to come and dwell amongst us, to attend on the office of a midwife,
to answer the towne's necessity, which at present is great.'
"... It appears that the Plantation of Rehoboth had grown so much that there was
a need for a `physician' or doctor to care for the inhabitants. Apparently,
Samuel Fuller of Plymouth did not want to leave Plymouth without his mother, who
was a midwife. Dr. Fuller requested permission to settle in Rehoboth, his
request was granted, but he never came to Rehoboth."

But if it shall please God to recover my wife out of her weake estate of sicknes then my children to be wth her or disposed by her. Also whereas there is a childe comitted to my charge called Sarah Converse, my wife dying as afore I desire my Brother Wright may have the bringing up of her. And if he refuse then I commend her to my loving neighbour & brother in Christ Thomas Prence desiring that whosoever of them receive her pforme the duty of a step ffather unto her & bring her up in the ffeare of God as their owne wch was a charge laid upon me pr her sick ffather when he freely bestowed her upon me & wsh I require of them.
