• General Notes
  • ROGER* FULLER, (John,* John,1 John1), born Oct. 19, 1572;
    died April 30, 1644; married April 24, 1600, Jane Gowan. Roger
    Fuller lived and died in Topcroft, County Norfolk, England. He
    left a will, proved Aug., 1644. His will omits to mention some
    of his chidren. Even the parish registers do not show the baptism
    of some of his children. His son Giles Fuller was not mentioned
    in his father's will, nor does his name appear on the parish
    registers, yet when Giles died in Hampton, N. H., in 1673, he
    was clearly shown in the probate court to be a son of Roger
    Fuller of Topcroft by the testimony of his brother-in-law, Mr.
    Thurston. "It is a remarkable fact," says Mr. Francis H. Fuller
    of Jamaica Plain, Mass., "that the death of this unregistered and,
    in the will of his father, unmentioned man Giles Fuller, was the
    sole means of accidentally disclosing the birthplace and ancestry
    of the Fuller family, which included in it so many persons prominent
    in the affairs of early New England and to which family
    belonged the historic Dr. Samuel Fuller." The children of Roger"
    Fuller were (among others) as follows, some being here omitted:
    ISSUE :
    . Elizabeth5, who married her cousin, a John Fuller,
    son perhaps of Ralph Fuller.
    ii. Giles, who died at Hampton, N. H., 1673. His name
    does not appear in the parish registers, nor is he
    mentioned in his father's will,
    iii. Susanna, married Mr. Thurston.
    iv. William, baptized Dec. 14, 1611. Is mentioned in his
    father's will. Went to New England in company (
    as is generally believed) with John Fuller on the
    ship Abigail in May, 163^. He settled in Hampton, N. H.,
    and in 1681 made an affidavit in which he
    stated that he came to Hampton from Ipswich,
    Mass., and that he had a brother John. ^
    v. JOHN, born — ; died in Ipswich, Mass., June 4, 1666;
    married in Ipswich Elizabeth Emerson. I place his
    name here as a son of Roger because of the affidavit
    of William Fuller made at Hampton in 1681, and
    also for the reason given by Mr. Edward F. Everett
    which I have quoted above herein on page 503.
    The name of John does not appear in the will of
    Roger Fuller, nor does the parish register show the
    baptism of any son of Roger named John. The
    same, however, was true of Roger's son, Giles.
