First Generation
Bridget Lee was born about 1595,[1] daughter of Josephine ____,[2] and died after May 1667 in New London County, Connecticut.[3] Bridget married Leiden 27 May 1617 (Dr.) Samuel Fuller.[4] While her husband came over on the Mayflower in 1620 with his brother Edward, Bridget came over in the Anne in 1623. They had at least two children: Mercy and Samuel.[5] It is possible Samuel and Bridget may have also had a daughter Bridget.
Second Generation
Bridget Fuller was possibly their eldest child, born in Leiden about 1619 and married at Plymouth 30 Sep 1641 Henry Sirkman.[6] Bradford did state Samuel Fuller had "a child which came afterwards", but no such child was named in Samuel's 1633 will. It is possible she did not emigrate to Plymouth Colony until sometime after her father's death.
Mercy Fuller was born sometime shortly after the May 1627 cattle division. She was named in her father's 1633 will, as well as mentioned as living by Gov. Bradford in 1651, but he failed to state whether she was married or not. No further record.
Summary of findings
There are some potential lines of matrilineal descent for Bridget Lee, but new discoveries would be needed to identify any possible lines.
