Status summary

As of December 30, 2015:

  • Fuller surname project contacted
  • Recruiting Fuller for Y Elite test

Background

Paper trail

Mayflower passengers Edward Fuller and Samuel Fuller were brothers, each a son of Robert Fuller and presumably his first wife, Sarah Dunkhorn (one of several alternative spellings). Edward and Samuel Fuller were both born in Redenhall, Norfolk, England. 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 two known sons who survived to adulthood:

  • Matthew Fuller, born about 1605 in England, traveled to Plymouth Colony later, by 1640
  • Samuel Fuller, born about 1608 in England, traveled aboard Mayflower

Samuel Fuller had one known son who survived to adulthood:

  • (Rev.) Samuel Fuller (II), born about 1629 in Plymouth Colony

Known brothers of Edward and Samuel (who remained in England) include:

  • Edmund Fuller
  • Thomas Fuller[1]
  1. Supposedly the father of Robert Fuller, who emigrated in 1638 and settled in Salem and later Rehoboth.

DNA Results R-Y85916

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 that the Mayflower Fuller lineage belongs to the R1b-U106 Y-DNA haplogroup, which is quite common in Northwestern Europe. Planned Y Elite 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>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]

Other Fuller Families

Descendants of Robert Fuller (c1615) of Salem & Rehoboth and Eli Fuller (1766) of Pennsylvania have also tested positive for Y85916, so they are fairly closely related to Edward and Samuel Fuller.

  1. Three Y-DNA descendants of Samuel Fuller listed at wikitree profile for Samuel Fuller and Matthew Fuller
  2. The Fuller DNA Project currently does not publish their DNA results
  3. Robert is said to have been a nephew to Edward and Samuel, believed to be a son of their brother, Thomas Fuller.
  4. Edward, Samuel, Samuel, Matthew.
  5. Descendants of Robert Fuller fall under two different subclades of Y85916, some fall under FT67161 while others fall under Y98567.
