Surname Saturday ~ FULLER of Ipswich, Massachusetts

John Fuller's signature on his will

FULLER

John Fuller (about 1620 – 1666) immigrated to Massachusetts on 4 May 1635 on the ship Abigail when he was about 15 years old with his older brother William.   John, my 8^th great grandfather,  settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts and William went to Hampton, New Hampshire. 

John Fuller married Elizabeth Emerson.  They lived in Salisbury until about 1648 when they were back in Ipswich.  He had land, but does not appear in any record as a freeman, church member nor did he hold any public office.  He does appear in several court records, and he did file a will shortly before his death.  When he died he had nine children named in his will and one unborn child mentioned in his will.  No record of the name of this child exists.  He was an educated man because he not only signed his name, he left an inventory of books valued at 10 shillings.

John’s son, James Fuller (about 1644 – 1725), my 7^th great grandfather, inherited his father’s house and land on Rocky Hill in Ipswich.  It was next to his brother, Nathaniel Fuller’s, land.  His daughter, Dorothy, granddaughter of the immigrant John Fuller, is the last Fuller in my lineage.  Dorothy married Josiah Stone of Beverly, Massachusetts in 1715.
