"In the results of Mr. Dexter's researches among the records of Holland, published in a volume entitled 'The England and Holland of the Pilgrims,' Samuel1 Fuller is mentioned as a witness Oct. 7, 1611, to the betrothal of Degory Priest, and to that of William White Jan. 27, 1612."

"The Pilgrims left Holland for America about Aug. 1, 1620, by way of Southampton, County Hampshire, England, and Samuel1 Fuller's name appears as one of the signers of the "Compact" drawn up for the government of the Colony at Cape Cod, in November, 1620, in the vicinity of what is now Provincetown, Mass.

Mention having been made of a "Fuller Fund" for the support of the ministry of
the Plymouth church, the foundation of said fund being the proceeds derived from
the sale of a plot of ground on Leyden Street given to the church for a
parsonage by Mrs. Bridget (Lee) Fuller, widow of Dr. Samuel Fuller, and Samuel
Fuller his son, I wrote the pastor of the Congregational church in Plymouth and
received the following: "The fund you wrote about is the "Fuller Ministerial
Fund," which is used for the purpose named in your note, but not from the source
you mentioned. That place was sold and the money used. The "fund" came from an
unborn calf. I mean that the calf was bequeathed before it came into the world,
and the proceeds of it when a cow was allowed to accumulate, and it has grown
into the thousands. This is the history of the "Fuller Ministerial Fund."
Readers are referred to the item in Dr. Samuel's will, given above, relative to
"the first cow calfe that my Browne Cow shall have."

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:
Samuel Fuller was one of the original members of the Pilgrims church, and fled
England for Holland in 1609. Samuel Fuller became a surgeon and physician,
making him an important member of the Plymouth Colony (and other colonies as
well once emigration to Massachusetts picked up). Samuel Fuller also played a
prominent role in the congregation, becoming a deacon of the church in
Plymouth. Samuel Fuller died in the 1633 epidemic at Plymouth. William
Bradford wrote:
. . . and in the end, after he had much helped others, Samuel Fuller who was their surgeon and physician and had been a great help and comfort unto them. As in his faculty, so otherwise being a deacon of the church, a man godly and forward to do good, being much missed after his death. And he and the rest of their brethren much lamented by them and caused much sadness and mourning amongst them, which caused them to humble themselves and seek the Lord; and towards winter it pleased the Lord the sickness ceased.

Notes for GOV. WILLIAM BRADFORD III:
[Tyler, William Seymour D.D.,LL.D. with genealogy history written by Cornelius B. Tyler, Autobiography of W S Tyler, DD,LLD, (Privately Printed, Massachusetts, 1912), page 290.]
"He was in Holland at Amsterdam and Leyden about ten years, and joined with Pastor Robinson in his plan of removing the English Church at Leyden to America."
"...on board the Mayflower, which, after putting into Plymouth Harbor to escape a storm, eventually reached the harbor of Cape Cod."
[Ibid., page 290 and 291.]
"The first governor of the colony, Carver, died April 5, 1621, and Mr. Bradford was elected in his place, a position he held continuously till his death, except when he refused to serve. He was very successful in his dealings with the Indians. He was well educated, knew something of Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and was well informed in history and philosophy. He was an able writer. His most important work was his History of Plymouth Plantation, covering the period from 1602 to 1647. This manuscript was stolen from the old South Church in Boston in 1775, and carried to England by the British soldiers. The manuscript was returned to Massachusetts in 1897. In pleading to obtain this return, Senator Hoar said to the Lord Bishop of London: 'If there were in existence in England a history of King Alfred's reign for thirty years, written by his own hand, it would not be more precious in the eyes of Englishmen than this manuscript is to us.'"
[http://members.aol.com/calebj/bradford.html, William Bradford from the Alphabetical Listing of Mayflower Passengers, "Electronic."]
"The early years of Bradford's life are described by Cotton Mather in his book Magnalia Christi Americana first published in 1702:
"Among those Devout People was our William Bradford, who was Born Anno 1588. in an obscure Village call'd Austerfield, where the People were as unacquainted with the Bible, as the Jews do seem to have been with part of it in the Days of Josiah; a most Ignorant and Licentious People, and like unto their Priest. Here, and in some other Places, he had a Comfortable Inheritance left him of his Honest Parents, who died while he was yet a Child, and cast him on the Education, first of his Grand Parents, and then of his Uncles, who devoted him, like his Ancestors, unto the Affairs of Husbandry. Soon and long Sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the Vanities of Youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a Dozen Years Old, the Reading of the Scriptures began to cause great Impressions upon him; and those Impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr. Richard Clifton's Illuminating Ministry, not far from his Abode; he was then also further befriended, by being brought into the Company and Fellowship of such as were then called Professors; though the Young Man that brought him into it, did after become a Prophane and Wicked Apostate. Nor could the Wrath of his Uncles, nor the Scoff of his Neighbours now turn'd upon him, as one of the Puritans, divert him from his Pious Inclinations.
". . . Having with a great Company of Christians Hired a Ship to Transport them for Holland, the Master perfidiously betrayed them into the Hands of those Persecutors; who Rifled and Ransack'd their Goods, and clapp'd their Persons into Prison at Boston, where they lay for a Month together. But Mr. Bradford being a Young Man of about Eighteen, was dismissed sooner than the rest, so that within a while he had Opportunity with some others to get over to Zealand, through Perils both by Land and Sea not inconsiderable; where he was not long Ashore ere a Viper seized on his Hand, that is, an Officer, who carried him Unto the Magistrates, unto whom an envious Passenger had accused him as having fled out of England. When the Magistrates understood the True Cause of his coming thither, they were well satisfied with him; and so he repaired joyfully unto his Brethren at Amsterdam, where the Difficulties to which he afterwards stooped in Learning and Serving of a Frenchman at the Working of Silks, were abundantly Compensated by the Delight wherewith he sat under the Shadow of our Lord in his purely dispensed Ordinances. At the end of Two Years, he did, being of Age to do it, convert his Estate in England into Money; but Setting up for himself, he found some of his Designs by the Providence of God frowned upon, which he judged a Correction bestowed by God upon him for certain Decays of Internal Piety, whereinto he had fallen; the Consumption of his Estate he thought came to prevent a Consumption in his Virtue. But after he had resided in in Holland about half a Score Years, he was one of those who bore a part in that Hazardous and Generous Enterprize of removing into New England, with part of the English Church at Leyden, where at their first Landing, his dearest Consort accidentally falling Overboard, was drowned in the Harbour; and the rest of his Days were spent in the Services, and the Temptations, of that American Wilderness.
"William Bradford came to America on the Mayflower with his wife Dorothy (May), leaving son John behind in Holland. Dorothy fell off the Mayflower and drowned on 7 December 1620, when it was anchored in Provincetown Harbor.
"This was an accidental drowning. The story of the suicide, affair with Captain Chrostopher Jones, etc. comes from a fictional "soap opera" story published in a national women's magazine in 1869--a story published as truth by the author, based on "family stories", but which the author later admitted was an invention of her own imagination. For further information on this, see Mayflower Descendant 29:97-102 , and especially 31:105.
"After the death of John Carver in April 1621, Bradford was elected governor of the Plymouth Colony, and continued in that capacity nearly all his life. In 1623 he married Alice (Carpenter) Southworth, widow of Edward Southworth. A description of the marriage is found in a letter written by a visitor to Plymouth Colony, Emmanuel Altham, in 1623:
"Upon the occasion of the Governor's marriage, since I came, Massasoit was sent for to the wedding, where came with him his wife, the queen, although he hath five wives. With him came four other kings and about six score men with their bows and arrows--where, when they came to our town, we saluted them with the shooting off of many muskets and training our men. And so all the bows and arrows was brought into the Governor's house, and he brought the Governor three or four bucks and a turkey. And so we had very good pastime in seeing them dance, which is in such manner, with such a noise that you would wonder. . . . And now to say somewhat of the great cheer we had at the Governor's marriage. We had about twelve pasty venisons, besides others, pieces of roasted venison and other such good cheer in such quantity that I could wish you some of our share. For here we have the best grapes that ever you say--and the biggest, and divers sorts of plums and nuts which our business will not suffer us to look for.
"William Bradford died in 1657, having been governor of the Plymouth Colony for almost the entire period since 1621. Cotton Mather in his Magnalia Christi Americana wrote that William Bradford:
". . . was a Person for Study as well as Action; and hence, notwithstanding the Difficulties through which he passed in his Youth, he attained unto a notable Skill in Languages; the Dutch Tongue was become almost as Vernacular to him as the English; the French Tongue he could also manage; the Latin and the Greek he had Mastered; but the Hebrew he most of all studied, Because, he said, he would see with his own Eyes the Ancient Oracles of God in their Native Beauty. He was also well skill'd in History, in Antiquity, and in Philosophy; and for Theology he became so versed in it, that he was an Irrefragable Disputant against the Errors, especially those of Anabaptism, which with Trouble he saw rising in his Colony; wherefore he wrote some Significant things for the Confutation of those Errors. But the Crown of all was his Holy, Prayerful, Watchful and Fruitful Walk with God, wherein he was very Exemplary. At length he fell into an Indisposition of Body, which rendred him unhealthy for a whole Winter; and as the Spring advanced, his Health yet more declined; yet he felt himself not what he counted Sick, till one Day; in the Night after which, the God of Heaven so fill'd his Mind with Ineffable Consolations, that he seemed little short of Paul, rapt up unto the Unutterable Entertainments of Paradise. The next Morning he told his Friends, That the good Spirit of God had given him a Pledge of his Happiness in another World, and the First-fruits of his Eternal Glory: And on the Day following he died, May 9, 1657 in the 68th Year of his Age. Lamented by all the Colonies of New England, as a Common Blessing and Father to them all.
"William Bradford wrote Of Plymouth Plantation, chronicling the history of the Plymouth Colony, and the events that led up to their leaving England for Holland, and later to New England. William Bradford also wrote part of Mourt's Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and he recorded some of the important letters he wrote and received in a letterbook which still partially exists. Nathaniel Morton's 1669 book, New England's Memorial also records a poem written by William Bradford on his deathbed. There are also two elegy poems written in 1657 after Bradford's death--the first elegy poem is anonymous, and the second elegy poem was written by Josias Winslow."
