Matthew is more closely to Robert Fuller of Salem and Rehoboth (Group 2b.).

Paper Trail
For more information see: MacGunnigle, Bruce Campbell, Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: vol. 4 Edward Fuller and Radasch, Katharine W. & Arthur H. Radasch (rev. by Margaret H. Stover and Robert S. Wakefield), Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: vol. 10 Samuel Fuller as well as Paschke, Pamela R. and Raymond T. Wing, "The Fuller Family of Redenhall, Norfolk, England: Initial Report on the Fuller Big Y DNA Project", Mayflower Descendant, Summer 2022 (vol.70):101-120. Names in bold font have Y-DNA descendants who have Y-DNA tested.
First Generation
Mayflower passengers Edward Fuller and Samuel Fuller were brothers, sons of Robert Fuller and his first wife, Sarah Dunkhorn.[1] Edward and Samuel Fuller were both baptized at Redenhall, Norfolk, England: Edward on 4 Sep 1575 and Samuel on 20 Feb 1580/1. One of Edward's sons, also named Samuel Fuller, was also a passenger on the Mayflower. The ancestry of this Fuller family can be found online at: Edward Fuller's Ancestors
Edward Fuller had one known son[2] who survived to adulthood:
- Samuel Fuller, born[3] about 1608 likely in Norfolkshire, England, traveled aboard Mayflower. He married Jane Lothrop and they had five daughters and three sons:[4] Samuel, Thomas (not in father's will) and John.
Samuel Fuller[5] had one known son who survived to adulthood:
- (Rev.) Samuel Fuller (II), born about 1629 in Plymouth Colony.[6] Samuel is said to have married twice, his first wife (identity unknown) was the father of Samuel (III) (c1658). Samuel married Elizabeth NICHOLS Bowen about 1665 and they[7] had five daughters and two sons: John and Isaac.
Relatives of Edward and Samuel (who later emigrated to New England) include:
- Robert Fuller of Salem & Rehoboth, MA.

- Giles Fuller was born Topcroft, Norfolk abt 1604, son of Roger Fuller and Jane Gowen.[10] Giles died Hampton, NH 6 Apr 1673. He appeared in Dedham, MA by Nov 1638. Giles died childless (and likely unmarried).

- ↑ They also had an child, sex unknown, who died young.
- ↑ Pilgrim Hall Museum Samuel Fuller biography.

Previous Y-DNA testing[1]
Previous Y-STR testing through the Mayflower Society DNA Project[2], including descendants of both Edward and Samuel Fuller, has found where the Mayflower Fuller lineage belongs to the R1b-U106 Y-DNA haplogroup, which is quite common in Northwestern Europe. NGS/WGS testing will be able place the Fuller lineage more precisely within the broader R1b-U106 haplogroup and may be able to identify individual-level markers that indicate descent from either Edward or Samuel.
NGS/WGS testing
As of 21 May 2021, the Mayflower DNA Project and the Fuller - Family Finder Project are displaying nine individuals as patrilineal (all male line) descendants of Edward Fuller, two additional individuals as patrilineal descendants of his brother Samuel, as well as a total of twelve individuals who likely descend from Robert Fuller of Salem & Rehoboth.[3] These results document where the Fuller family of Redenhall, Norfolk fall under U106>>S12025>FGC12021>S17339>FGC53777>S25007>FGC31905>FGC53757>BZ3170>Y85916. In addition, they document where some descendants of Edward Fuller[4] fall under a subclade of Y85916, namely FT14518.[5]
DNA testers[6]
The Family Tree DNA Fuller Family Finder Project has actively recruited individuals to take the Big Y-700 test. As a result, the project currently lists sixteen individuals who have Big Y-700 tested. These individuals are in the following Project Groups: 1. Fuller - Mass, CT, NY, PA connected to Redenhall Fullers, excluding those in other groups 1a. Desc of Cornelius Fuller Sr of NY, incl. Eli, Ira, Johiel of Northampton Co, PA & Sussex Co, NJ 2a. Norfolk England - DYS534=16 with DYS439=12 incl Capt Matthew Fuller etc 2b. Norfolk- desc of Robert Fuller arrived 1638, of Salem and Rehoboth (DYS439=13)
The Big Y-700 testing has been able to prove where Cornelius Fuller of New York (Group 1a) descends from Edward Fuller. Big Y-700 testing also proves where (Capt./Dr.) Matthew Fuller of Barnstable (Group 2a.) was not son of Edward Fuller. Matthew is more closely to Robert Fuller of Salem and Rehoboth (Group 2b.). The Big Y-700 testing is unable to tell us exactly how Robert and Matthew are related, but it does document where they both share a SNP (Y98567) not found in descendants of either Edward or (Dr.) Samuel.
- ↑ Three Y-DNA descendants of Samuel Fuller listed at wikitree profile for Samuel Fuller and Matthew Fuller
- ↑ The Fuller DNA Project currently does not publish their DNA results
- ↑ Robert is said to have been a nephew to Edward and Samuel, believed to be a son of their brother, Thomas Fuller.
- ↑ Edward, Samuel, Samuel, Matthew.
- ↑ Descendants of Robert Fuller fall under two different subclades of Y85916, some fall under FT67161 while others fall under Y98567.
