Background
First Generation
Like most early females, not much information has been discovered about Frances, wife of Dr./Capt.

Desire Fuller was born Barnstable likely aft Dec 1673 (as the Dec 1691 division of her father's estate, her portion was to be "kept until further notice.") and her death is unknown. She married New London, CT 11 Jun 1703 John Taylor and they had three children (order uncertain): Benjamin, Sarah (c1706) and John.
Fourth Generation
Sarah Taylor was born New London County, CT about 1706 and died Vernon, CT 3 Sep 1791.

- ↑ A Matthew Fuller and Frances Hunsden were married at Pulham Market, Norfolkshire, England on 22 Jul 1633. It is likely this is the couple who later emigrated (with their older children) to Plymouth Colony.
- ↑ Administration of the intestate estate of her husband.
- ↑ TAG
- ↑ The probate of Matthew Fuller, dated 30 Dec 1691 stated the shares to Desire and Sarah were to be "kept until further notice." This statement is consistent with them being unmarried, and likely not yet of legal age (18).
