BENNETT, GUSTAVUS LEONARD
Mariner Gustavus L. Bennett was an E. Fuller, Cooke, and double Warren descendant. According to the book with this picture he left a son and daughter, presumably born in the New Bedford, MA area. His line was a little tricky because you will need Helen G. Thomas's indispensable Vital Records of the Town of Freetown Massachusetts 1686 through 1890 (Heritage Books 2010) plus a subscription to the New England Historical Genealogical Society (NEHGS) to get at Bristol County probate records. He may have other Mayflower ancestry but the three I found are through a paternal grandmother. Gustavus's Gen 10 Edward Fuller line runs as follows, beginning with his father: Leonard Bennett, Hannah (Hammett) Bennett, John Hammett, Hannah (Jones) Hammett, Shubael Jones, Jedediah, Mary (Fuller) Jones, Matthew Fuller, Edward Fuller the Mayflower passenger. Image & info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 266, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BLISH, BEULAH
The book with this photo has over a dozen other double Edward Fuller descendants, most of them named Blish so I will add them over time, but you can get a head start by downloading the book from the internet. Beulah gets pride of place for being among the oldest and for producing the 9 Jones below. The author claims Jay, NY as her birthplace and 30 March 1819 as the date. You will have to try the Jay Town Clerk's office for a record of that if you wish to claim descent. Otherwise, start looking for probate records and land records of NY on familysearch.org. Being in a book is not proof. Here is Beulah's first Gen 9 line to pilgrim Edward Fuller: Daniel Blish, David, David, Anne (Fuller) Blish, Matthew Fuller, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The second is: Daniel Blish, David, David, Anne (Fuller) Blish, Matthew Fuller, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward again. The Edward Fuller book gets as far as the births of the children of Anne Fuller and Tristram Blish, so anyone you can link in the book to Tristram Blish should qualify for membership in the Mayflower Society. Many Blish lines, Mayflower and otherwise, qualify for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), and those of Beulah and her siblings also qualify for U.S. Daughters of 1812 and the General Society War of 1812. The author states that Daniel's widow, also a Beulah, got a land bounty warrant for his 70 days of service as Capt. of the militia and fold3.com has service cards and other claimants who served in his unit, but says re: the warrant claim "Rejected: false." Send to the National Archives (NARA) for Daniel's War of 1812 pension and bounty land warrant files (2 different things) and see if you can rescue his reputation. Image and info from James Knox Blish, Genealogy of the Blish Family in America 1637-1905 (Kewanee, IL: Throop, 1905), pp. 37, 68, 101, 137-8, 185 digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

BLISH, CHARLES CHENEY
A second cousin of Beulah, above, Charles left Connecticut with his parents, Sylvester (below) and Rhoda (Cheney) Blish and became part of the Blish dynasty in Illinois (see sons James K. and Matthew B., also below.) According to the Blish family biography with this image - written by son James K. - Charles was b. 26 May 1820 in Glastonbury, CT, though I found no vital records on the NEHGS site. He married Elizabeth Potter Bonar in Goshen, Stark Co., IL on 23 Dec. 1840 and James K. wrote more about his mother in the Blish book but to join any lineage society you will have to find these record in CT, IL, and Knox Co., OH, where Elizabeth was said to have been born. See Sylvester's writeup for Charles's Gen. 9 lineage.

BLISH, DANIEL JR. (far right, and L to R, LILLIAN MARGARET, LUCY, MRS. BLISH, FRANK DANIEL, & DAVID)
Father of Lillian Margaret (Blish) Purmort, below, and brother of Beulah (Blish) Jones, above, Daniel was also a Gen 9 Edward Fuller descendant twice over. See Beulah's writeup for the lineage. Sons David (b. 1841) and Frank Daniel (b. 1852) married and had children, David in WI and Frank Daniel in IL, but Lillian (b. 1849) left no descendants and Lucy (1846-1863) died in WI where she was a student. Per the author of this book, who presumably got the info from Lillian, the family genealogist, David held Jay town offices, ran several businesses and own much property but died around age 39 and his widow remarried a widower. So if you research wife Mary, you will find her dying as Mary Houghton (Bruce) (Blish) Hickock in IL in 1879, where she lived with her son.

BLISH, LILLIAN MARGARET
Reportedly she was a member of the GSMD, the DAR, the US Daughters of 1812, and other groups, as an "enthusiastic genealogist and historian." Lillian (b Jay, NY 1849) had no children who survived to adulthood but you might be able to find collateral descendants due to her many public activities. Look for her under her married name, though, Purmort, as the wife of Henry C. Purmort of Jay, NY and later Chicago. A niece of Beulah, above, Lillian's two Gen. 10 lines run: Daniel Blish Jr., Daniel, David, David, Anne (Fuller) Blish, Matthew Fuller, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The second is: Daniel Blish Jr., Daniel, David, David, Anne (Fuller) Blish, Matthew Fuller, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller.

BLISH, LUCY (SEE DANIEL BLISH, JR.)
Brainerd Family of East Haddam (L to R: Homer Worthington, William Royal, Margaret Fuller Brainerd, and spouses)
Gen 9 William Royal Brainerd (b. 1832), was the father of Gen 10 Homer Worthington Brainerd (b. 1864) and Gen 10 Margaret Fuller (Brainerd) Holman (b. 1871), both standing behind him. To the far right is Homer & Margaret's mother, Mary Eliza (Goff) Brainerd, and between the two women stands Margaret's husband, Ward Grover Holman. The occasion may have been the parents' 50th wedding anniversary, in 1906, as that event merited an article in the local newspaper. The Edward Fuller silver book gets as far as the birth and marriage of William's grandparents, albeit on separate pages. Lois Hubbard was the wife of two Fullers: Jabez, who died at sea, and David. She had Fuller children by both men, who were distant cousins. Pages 162 and 147 are needed to determine the lineages, but if you did not happen to see page 162 first, you wouldn't know about page 147. There is no reference next to David's birth that he married someone on page 147. Data on the NEHGS site is not complete enough to give you the full 2 generations, so be prepared to look for land, probate, and church records for William and his parents. Because of a marriage of cousins in the 1600s, this is a double EFuller line. The family's 1st line, running back from William is: Enos Lewis Brainerd, Lucy (Fuller) Brainerd, David Fuller, Young, Matthew, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The 2nd is: Enos Lewis Brainerd, Lucy (Fuller) Brainerd, David Fuller, Young, Matthew, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Mathew Fuller, Edward.

BLISH, JAMES KNOX AND MATTHEW BONAR
The brother on the left, James, wrote the book from which the Blish and Jones information and pictures on this page come. He and Matthew were sons of Charles Cheney Blish, above, and grandsons of Sylvester Blish, below. They would be Generation 10 descendants of Edward Fuller - and both had children - but you will need to document most of this line beyond the Fuller silver book with actual birth, marriage, and death certificates plus wills, probate records, and land deeds to fill in any chinks. James (b. 1843, IL) married twice, both times in IL, once to Mary Eliza McManus (dtr of Redmond McManus and Cyrena Phillips), born 1846 at Sherburne, NY. After her death James married Amy Mason Rhodes (dtr of Albert Rhodes and Ann Elizabeth Read). Amy was born in 1855 at Providence, RI and was an organizer and regent of the Kewanee, IL Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) chapter, which still exists Thus there should be at least some information on her lineage on the Genealogical Research System (GRS) online database at the DAR website. James had 6 children, 3 with each wife, and was a lawyer who held public office so there should be a paper trail there. Matthew (b. 1848, IL) married Martha Florence Morrill (dtr of Daniel Webster Morrill and Elizabeth Almira Wedge. She was born in VA in 1849. They had 3 children and should have left a good but maybe puzzling paper trail due to business and winter residences in AL and FL. See Sylvester's writeup for the lineage.

BLISH, SYLVESTER
Anti-Catholic hysteria drove the Blish family from Connecticut to Illinois, according to the author of the book with this image and that of Charles, James, and Matthew, all above. The author was James, Sylvester's grandson, so he should know. Sylvester (b. 1790) was active in local and state politics and rose through the state militia ranks to become a colonel. Pages 147-48 give some detail about the 1835 rumors in New England of Catholics intending to install a "Catholic hierarchy" in the midwest and about organizations in CT, MA, and NY formed to counteract that. Sylvester joined "The Connecticut Association" in Wethersfield, and the rest, is history (except for the Catholic hierarchy.) Note: other than Sylvester's marriage to Rhoda Cheney, daughter of Timothy (and Rhoda Skinner) in 1812, the Blishes are scant in the Barbour vital records of CT, which is what the NEHGS has. You will have to prove a lot to make a satisfactory link back to Tristram Blish and Anne Fuller. And if you are looking for Cheneys, Rhoda's brother Halsey married Sylvester's sister Adeline Pamela, so the Cheneys may have been in the Association as well. (I did not find a Mayflower link there, in my cursory check.) Sylvester's Gen 8 line runs: Thomas Blish, David, Anne (Fuller) Blish, Matthew Fuller, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller of the Mayflower. Image and info from James Knox Blish, Genealogy of the Blish Family in America 1637-1905 (Kewanee, IL: Throop, 1905), pp. 146-50, digitized by the New York Public Libraries.

CARY, HENRY GROSVENOR
He was the author of the book from which this image was taken and an earlier edition about the family's origins in England. I have no idea how accurate that one is, not having read it, but he does have his own lineage correct in this book. Music teacher Henry (1829-1905) was a Gen. 8 & Gen 9 Edward Fuller descendant and a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley. (See that section for that lineage.) The E. Fuller silver book and the Howland blue book vol. 2 get as far as the birth of Henry's grandfather, Shubael Hurd of Connecticut, in 1748/9. More vital records are on the NEHGS site. Here is the first Edward Fuller line, Gen 8 starting with his mother: Sophia (Hurd) Cary, Shubael Hurd, Rachel (Fuller) Hurd, Shubael Fuller, John, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The Gen 9 was: Sophia (Hurd) Cary, Shubael Hurd, Rachel (Fuller) Hurd, Shubael Fuller, Mehitable (Rowley) Fuller, Elizabeth (Fuller) Rowley, Matthew Fuller, Edward again. Lineage chart and image from Henry Grosvenor Cary, The Cary Family in America (Boston: Seth Cooley Cary, 1907), frontispiece and chart near pages 84-85.

Cowdery, Oliver
Early Mormon leader Oliver Cowdery (1806-1850) was the son of Rebecca Fuller and William Cowdery, Jr. of Connecticut, though he was born in Vermont. Rebecca was the daughter of William, b. 1729, and granddaughter of John Fuller and Mary (Cornwall) Rowley, whose marriage and children are in the Edward Fuller Silver Book. Thus Oliver was a Generation 7 descendant of Edward Fuller and a collateral descendant of Mayflower passenger Samuel Fuller, brother of Edward. Information from Mary Bryant Alverson Mehling, Cowdrey, Cowdery, Cowdray Genealogy: William Cowdery of Lynn, Massachusetts, 1630, and his Descendants (NY: Frank Allaben Genealogical Company, 1911), p. 172-186. This book, digitized by the New York Public Library for Internet Archive, contains a B&W image said to have been from a painting from a daguerrotype, and a good likeness, but Wikipedia had a photograph from the Library of Congress Daguerrotype Collection, LC-USZC4-11325. Labeled "Unidentified man, half-length portrait, with arm resting on table with tablecloth," by J. P. Ball of Cincinnati, it was identified by a historian in 2006 as a portrait of Cowdery. It does look like the image in the book, and was probably taken 1847-1850.
DAUCHY, GEORGE K.
The writeup in the book with this photo said that two great grandfathers were officers in the Army during the American Revolution, which is your cue to check the DAR's GRS database for George's parents in the "Descendants" area. There they are! They get you to within guessing distance of what the Mayflower Families Fifth Generation Descendants database tells you on the NEHGS web site. From there, rummage around the vital records section and you will come to the conclusion that George is a double Gen 10 descendant of Edward Fuller. His first line runs: Clarissa (Kellogg) Dauchy, Abigail (Olmstead) Kellogg, Jonathan Olmstead, William, Mary (Rowley) Olmstead, Moses Rowley, Elizabeth (Fuller) Rowley, Matthew Fuller, Edward of the Mayflower. The second line runs: Clarissa (Kellogg) Dauchy, Abigail (Olmstead) Kellogg, Jonathan Olmstead, Anne (Rowley) Olmstead, Moses Rowley, Moses, Elizabeth (Fuller) Rowley, Matthew Fuller, Edward of the Mayflower. George, b 1829 NY, held a bachelor's degree from Union University near Albany, unusual for that period, took time out to be a Forty-Niner during the California Gold Rush, worked in Troy, NY and Dubuque, IA, served in the Civil War (Lt, 12th Regt NY Light Artillery, per fold3.com), and finally settled in Chicago, where he married and had 4 children. His Civil War pension index card on fold3.com says that he died in Chicago in 1912. Thus he should have a solid paper trail. If you are a descendant, you will have to prove everything beyond the births of Anne Rowley and William Olmstead because their marriage is not mentioned in the Edward Fuller book. It helps that the vital records of East Haddam mentioned William's first wife dying, mentioned a son he had with Anne named "Moses" dying in the Revolutionary War, and the silver book mentions William Olmstead buying land from the heirs of Moses Rowley. So, first prove their marriage, then take it from there. (Jonathan Olmstead's wife Thankful Crosby is worth a look, too.)

FULLER, CLINTON
Clinton Fuller was a Gen. 8 descendant of Edward Fuller and a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins as well. He migrated as a boy from Luzerne Co., PA to Stark Co., IL, both areas that published detailed county histories in the late 1800s. (Stark Co. also has a 2-volume set from 1916.) One of the early outmigration patterns from New England after the Revolutionary War was through Luzerne and Wyoming Counties in PA. If you know something about the path your people took from Plymouth to wherever you live now, check Internet Archive and Heritage Quest online to see if those counties published histories. Many have pictures. They are free for the download if they are in the public domain. Remember to look for siblings as well as your direct ancestor. Clinton's Fuller lineage runs as follows: Ambrose, Jehiel, Joseph, Joseph, John, Samuel, Edward. See his Alden-Mullins writeup for that line. The Edward Fuller Silver Book will get you as far as Jehiel and his wife Hannah Hill is in the Alden Silver Book. Image and info from M. A.

He migrated as a boy from Luzerne Co., PA to Stark Co., IL, both areas that published detailed county histories in the late 1800s. (Stark Co. also has a 2-volume set from 1916.) One of the early outmigration patterns from New England after the Revolutionary War was through Luzerne and Wyoming Counties in PA. If you know something about the path your people took from Plymouth to wherever you live now, check Internet Archive and Heritage Quest online to see if those counties published histories. Many have pictures. They are free for the download if they are in the public domain. Remember to look for siblings as well as your direct ancestor. Clinton's Fuller lineage runs as follows: Ambrose, Jehiel, Joseph, Joseph, John, Samuel, Edward. See his Alden-Mullins writeup for that line. The Edward Fuller Silver Book will get you as far as Jehiel and his wife Hannah Hill is in the Alden Silver Book. Image and info from M. A. Leeson, Documents and Biography Pertaining to the Settlement and Progress of Stark County, Illinois (Chicago: M. A.

FULLER, ELLA & ERASTUS
They do look alike, daughter and father, Gen 9/10 & 8/9 (double) descendants via both sons of Edward Fuller, if the family history from which these images comes is correct about Erastus and his parents. The GSMD's Edward Fuller silver lineage book leaves off with the birth of Jehiel, grandfather of Erastus, but a quick look at the NEHGS site did not show enough linking evidence to make a lineage society happy without more work on your part. The author referred to probate records, though, so it is likely correct. In the photo from which her image was cropped, Ella is wearing a ribbon like an officer or convention attendee would have worn at a state conference of a group like the Woman's Relief Corps, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), or a suffrage or temperance society. If you can figure out which of these groups is the one, there might be a lot of data on file in their archives. Erastus (1788-1877) lived most of his life in Vernon, CT but between 1819 and 1847 he lived in Oneida, NY where all 7 of his children were born, then moved back to CT. One of the 7 stayed in NY, one moved to MI, the rest lived in CT. Daughter Ella (b 1832) was still living when this book was published. She had married twice, to Alvin B. Comstock, with whom she had 2 children, and James Converse, so look for records under all 3 names. Daughter and father's 2 lines should run as follows, beginning with Erastus's father: Daniel Fuller, Jehiel, Thomas, Thomas, John, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower and secondly: Daniel Fuller, Jehiel, Martha (Rowley) Fuller, Moses Rowley, Moses, Elizabeth (Fuller) Rowley, Matthew Fuller, pilgrim Edward Fuller again.

Two things to note: 1. because it is a Google digitization it is not word-searchable and 2. only descendants of Edward's son Samuel are profiled. Edward Fuller's is one of the few pages on this web site that you can see a possible family commonality that may point to Edward's own appearance: check out their noses. |

FULLER, GEORGE WILLARD
First cousin of Samuel Merrick Fuller, below, he was the son of Waterman Fuller (1796-1884), a much younger brother of Samuel's father Ely (1782-1837). George was born in 1826, also in Ludlow, MA, where Uncle Ely was the town clerk. He moved to Deerfield in his thirties. George and wife Emily Howard (check her line for Mayflower ancestry) had 5 children, 4 of whom lived to adulthood, but they lived at times in other parts of the country so look for their records elsewhere. Andrew went to medical school in Baltimore, Emily was a kindergarten teacher in PA, and Sally married a Harvard grad named Rankin and had children in St. Louis and PA. See Samuel Merrick Fuller's writeup for the 2 Gen 9 E. Fuller lines beyond Waterman or Ely. See the Allerton and Warren section for those lines.

FULLER, HORACE FREDERICK
He was reported (in 1917) to have been a member of the GSMD but trust me, when the application is 100+ years old there is no documentation in the file at Mayflower HQ in Plymouth so you will have to re-prove everything claimed in the Fuller biography. The Rev. Horace's closest relation on this page is Melville W., below, who would be a second cousin once removed. Interestingly for a man with 3 children and a member of several lineage societies, there is no trace of his ancestry on the DAR's GRS database. Get to work, descendants! Any straight-line male descendants are particularly in demand as DNA database participants, too. Horace (1865-1915) should be a double Gen 10 line as follows: Wilson N. Fuller, Horace, Frederick A., Caleb, Young, Matthew, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. See Melville's writeup for the reason it's double. Image and info from William Hyslop Fuller, Genealogy of Some Descendants of Thomas Fuller of Woburn (Palmer, MA: author, 1919), pp. 174-5, digitized by the NY Public Library. Note: this is one of several genealogies compiled by the same crew about various Fullers, not all of them Mayflower descendants. At the end of the Thomas volume is a section updating and augmenting what was stated in the Edward and Samuel editions.

FULLER, MELVILLE WESTON
The Edward Fuller Silver Book will get you as far as the birth of two-times Generation 9 Melville's great-grandfather. Caleb Fuller was a generation 6 E. Fuller descendant twice thanks to the marriage of first cousins Samuel & Anne of Barnstable back in generation 3. Melville was named Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1888 and the 6 pages devoted to his line in this book were accurate for the first 6 generations. His parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were a combination of Revolutionary War hero, state supreme court judge, Harvard or Yale grad, poet, minister, etc. so exactly the kind of people to leave a great paper trail, even in the early 1800s. The line from Edward Fuller to Melvile W., backwards, is thus: Edward & ?, Samuel & Jane Lothrop, Samuel & cousin Anne Fuller (dtr of gen 2 Matthew & wife Frances ?), Matthew & Patience Young, Young & Jerusha Beebe, Caleb & Hannah Weld, Henry Weld & Esther Gould, Frederick Augustus & Catherine Martin, Melville Weston. Info & image from Little, Burrage, & Stubbs, Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, v. IV (New York: Lewis Historical Society, 1909), p. 23, digitized by the Library of Congress. UPDATE: Melville should be a 2nd cousin once removed of GSMD member Rev. Horace Frederick Fuller (1865-1915), immediately above.

FULLER, SAMUEL MERRICK
He is a double EFuller descendant, a double Warren, and an Allerton as well. Samuel's line as delineated in the book from which this image was taken matches the vital records and the pages where his antecedents show up in Mayflower Society silver books. According to his death record he was a grocer in Berlin, MA. Both sons and two sons-in-law were Civil War veterans so there should be a good paper trail on this family for the latter half of the 1800s and the early 1900s. The daughters married men named Sawyer, Hartwell, Welch, and Russell and had numerous children, as did the sons. See Samuel's Allerton & Warren writeup for those lines. His EFuller lines, both Gen 9, run as follows: Ely Fuller, Elisha, Joshua, Young, Matthew, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower and secondly, Ely Fuller, Elisha, Joshua, Young, Matthew, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward again.

GOODSPEED, ADOLPHUS ELDERKIN
Father of James Goodspeed and Mary Chase (Goodspeed) (Hart) Stevens, both below, and grandfather of Daisy Maude, Rose, Mae, Martha, Myrtle, and Newton Goodspeed, all below, Adolphus (1809-1890) was a Gen. 9 descendant of Edward Fuller and a Warren descendant as well. See that section for that lineage. The book with this image does not say where they lived but says that his father lived in Lee, MA as a young man so I would start there. I also do not know where the "Elderkin" came from but have not actually looked. His Edward Fuller line runs as follows: James Goodspeed, Abner, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller of the Mayflower. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, Being a Genealogical and Narrative Record Extending from 1380 to 1906, and Embracing Material Concerning the Family Collected during Eighteen Years of Research, together with Maps, Plats, Charts, Etc., Vol. 1 (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 110, 251, 329, 358, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library.

GOODSPEED, BENJAMIN SAMUEL
Older brother of Lucy Elmina (Goodspeed) Buchanan, below, Benjamin S. (b. 1874) was also a Gen. 11 E. Fuller descendant and a Warren descendant. See Lucy's write-ups in both sections for the lineage. He reportedly married in 1903 and had no offspring as of the publication of the book from which this image was taken.

GOODSPEED, BERT ALVIN
Born in 1870 in Bureau Co, IL, Bert A. Goodspeed is double descendant of Edward Fuller because of a first-cousin marriage of two of Edward's grandchildren. The Edward Fuller silver book leaves off with the birth of Gen. 6 Elizabeth Fuller but notes that in her father's will she was called Elizabeth Goodspeed. Bert is also a Warren, and that book will get you one generation further, to the birth of David Goodspeed. Beyond that I am going by the book from which this image was taken, because the family left New England for what is today the Midwest. To prove this line to the Mayflower Society would require birth, marriage, and death certificates for the generations between you and David. The first of Bert's Gen 11 E Fuller lines runs as follows: Alvin Hyde Goodspeed, Martin Lewis Goodspeed, Anthony, David, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The second line runs: Alvin Hyde Goodspeed, Martin Lewis Goodspeed, Anthony, David, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller. See the Warren page for that line. His grandfather Martin Lewis Goodspeed is pictured below. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated,...

GOODSPEED, DAISY MAUDE & ROSE HANNAH (see also James Goodspeed)
These sisters, neither of whom had married as of 1907 (so I don't know if they left descendants), were also Edward Fuller and Warren descendants but via a different child of Elizabeth Fuller & James Goodspeed: Abner. Thus they are distant cousins of contemporary Bert and his grandfather Martin Goodspeed, born in 1879 (Rose, on the left) & 1875 (Daisy, on the right.) They are the youngest sisters of Newton, Mae, Martha, & Myrtle and daughter of James, all below. The author of the book with this photo leaves one hanging with Abner marrying Patience Bodfish in Barnstable, MA, then moving to Lee, MA. I have no idea where Daisy & Rose were born 100 years later. Thus you will have to prove that intervening generation for any lineage society. The sisters' Gen 11 E Fuller line should run: James Goodspeed, Adolphus Elderkin Goodspeed, James, Abner, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller of the Mayflower.

GOODSPEED, JAMES (with Rose Hannah)
Father of Daisy & Rose, above, James is shown with Rose as a young girl. She was born in 1879 so this photo was taken probably in the late 1880s or 1890, definitely no later than 9 March 1894, when James died. So, in this photo James (b. 1841) was about 45 years old. See Daisy & Rose's writeup, above, for his Gen. 10 E Fuller line. Rose is wearing a fancy bonnet in this photo and her mother is standing behind her, thus the phantom hand on James's shoulder (sorry, not an alien hand.) See the Warren section for that lineage.

GOODSPEED, LUCY ELMINA
A cousin of the other Goodspeeds on this page, Lucy E.'s Gen. 11 E. Fuller line should run: Alvin Goodspeed, Benjamin Stevens Goodspeed, James, Abner, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller of the Mayflower. Lucy (b. 1880) reportedly married Freeman Buchanan and had two children by the time this book was published. They may have lived in New York state and it is worth checking whether her husband was a Brewster descendant. The NEHGS has a Freeman M. Buchanan (b ca 1873) marrying in Natick in 1895 but that seems to be someone else of the same name, and it has nothing on Lucy. Like her cousins, Lucy was also a Warren.

GOODSPEED, MAE R., MARTHA ELIZABETH, AND MYRTLE NELL
These three Goodspeed sisters were older sisters of Daisy Maude & Rose Hannah Goodspeed, younger sisters of Newton, daughters of James, granddaughters of Adolphus E., and nieces of Mary C.. Thus they are Gen 11 descendants of Edward Fuller and also Warren descendants. According to the author of the book with these pictures, Martha E. was born in 1866 & married a Charles Sharp and they had numerous children. "Myrtie" Nell was born in 1868 and married a George Pashley and they had children. Mae R., 5 years older than Daisy Maude, was born in 1870, married a Myron Sealey, and had no children as of the book's publication date. See the Daisy Maude & Rose Hannah writeup for the E. Fuller lineage. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family etc. (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 329, 361, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library. |

GOODSPEED, MARTIN LEWIS
Grandfather of Bert A. Goodspeed, above, Martin (b 1810 MA - d IA) was a double Gen. 9 Edward Fuller descendant. The first line runs as follows: Anthony Goodspeed, David, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Samuel, Samuel, Edward Fuller of the Mayflower. The second line is a result of two first cousins marrying in Gen. 3, as you can see from this line: Anthony Goodspeed, David, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller of the Mayflower. Combining the E Fuller and Warren silver books will get you as far as Martin's grandfather, David Goodspeed. See the Warren write-ups for more details. Reportedly he left numerous descendants in Bureau Co, IL, though some were in Iowa & Seattle when this book was compiled.

GOODSPEED, MARY CHASE
Sister of James Goodspeed, daughter of Adolphus E., and aunt of Daisy Maude, Rose, Mae, Martha, Myrtle, and Newton Goodspeed on this page, Mary Chase (Goodspeed) (Hart) Stevens (b. 1839) was a Gen. 10 descendant of Edward Fuller and a Warren descendant also. See that section for specifics and see Adolphus's writeup for the lineage. She does resemble her brother James and his son Newton, I think, and nieces Martha, Nell, and Rose. No descendants were noted for Mary. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, ...

Oldest brother of Daisy Maude, Rose Hannah, Mae R., Martha Elizabeeth, and Myrtie Nell; son of James Goodspeed; grandson of Adolphus; and nephew of Mary Chase (Goodspeed) (Hart) Stevens, all above, Newton (b. 1863) was a Gen. 11 Edward Fuller descendant and a Warren as well. See the Daisy & Rose write-up for the specifics. Newton did have children, one of whom lived to adulthood and presented him with several grandchildren of the surname Cleveland. He looks a bit like his aunt Mary, I think.

See the Daisy & Rose write-up for the specifics. Newton did have children, one of whom lived to adulthood and presented him with several grandchildren of the surname Cleveland. He looks a bit like his aunt Mary, I think.

HAINES, THOMAS RYERSON
As Capt. Haines of Co. M, 1st NJ Cavalry Thomas was killed in battle in 1862 in the Shenandoah Valley. This image was reprinted in a book written by his brother about the history of their town. Thomas was a Gen. 10 Edward Fuller descendant as follows: Ann Maria (Austin) Haines, Alanson Austin, Mary (Gates) Austin, Deborah (Olmstead) Gates, Mary (Rowley) Olmstead, Moses Rowley, Elizabeth (Fuller) Rowley, Matthew Fuller, Edward of the Mayflower. The silver books will get you to the birth of Deborah, then vital records and an Olmstead family biography and obits will help you limp through her generation and the next two, and Thomas's mother had the foresight to marry a man who would become governor of New Jersey and thus left a good paper trail. Per findagrave, Thomas was about 24 when he died. Image & some info from Alanson A. Haines, Hardyston Memorial, A History of the Township and the North Presybterian Church, Hardyston, Sussex County, New Jersey (Newton: NJ Herald Print, 1888), p. 123, digitzed by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library.

These are the 9 sons and daughters of Beulah Blish, above, and Pierpont Edwards Jones, who married in 1841, presumably at Jay, Essex Co, NY, where both were born. They are in alphabetical order, but the birth order given in the book with these photos, (which were "artistically arranged" meaning some of them are cropped crooked) was: Mary E. (b 1843), Martha E. (b 1845), Daniel B. (b 1846), Margaret E. (b 1848), Lydia M. (b 1850), Elijah B. (b 1852), Nathan H. (b 1854), Beulah B. (b 1857), and Gilman M. (b 1862.). See their mother's writeup, above for their Gen 10 Edward Fuller lineage. Images & info from James Knox Blish, Genealogy of the Blish Family in America 1637-1905 (Kewanee, IL: Throop, 1905), pp. 185 & 250, digitized by the New York Public Libraries. The author credits Nathan H., lower right, with being the family genealogist.

MACK, LUCY
Lucy (Mack) Smith would be best known as the mother of LDS founder Joseph Smith, Jr. but she is noted here as a Gen. 7 descendant of Edward Fuller and of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. Her Fuller line runs from Lucy to Edward as follows: Lydia (Gates) Mack, Lydia (Fuller) Gates, Shubael Fuller, John, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The Edward Fuller book follows the line through Lydia's parents but she is alluded to in the discussion of the husband's will, as daughter "Lucy Mack." See the Howland-Tilley writeup for that line. There are many images of Joseph Smith, Jr. online and in books for your perusal, but an image of her son Hyrum is included here, below. Wikipedia has an entry for Lucy but it appears to be a color photo of the same image here. This image and some information comes from Evelyn M. Wood Lovejoy, History of Royalton, Vermont with Family Genealogies 1769-1911, Part 2 (Burlington, VT: Town of Royalton & the Royalton Woman's Club, 1911), pp. 644-6, digitized by the New York Public Library, image scanned from LOC paper copy by Sarah M.

ROOD - ASAHEL ORLEAN, J. DEXTER, HORACE, ERASMUS, ELY
These images of the Rood brothers of Ludlow, MA suffered greatly in the digitization process. If you have access to a hard copy of this book and can scan page 215 & 453, I would be glad to replace these with something sharper. The book from which these images were taken states that the Alden and Fuller families of their town were Mayflower descendants. However, the Town History Committee that compiled it missed that this was a double Fuller line. They show Gen 3 Samuel Fuller marrying Anna "Matthew." No, he married Anna Fuller, daughter of Matthew Fuller, passenger Edward's other son and thus his own first cousin. They also did not know that this was a Warren and Allerton line (see those sections for those lineages.) Still, relying on the accuracy of the Committee, who were writing about their own neighbors, these Roods are (left to right, in birth order): Asahel Orlean (1811-1887), J. Dexter (1815-1889), Horace (1818-1893), Erasmus (1822-1896), and Ely (1828-1906). Each of them married and had children, Horace moving to Illinois. Both their Fuller lines are Gen 9 and through their mother, the first running: Asenath (Fuller) Rood, Elisha Fuller, Joshua, Young, Matthew, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The second runs: Asenath (Fuller) Rood, Elisha Fuller, Joshua, Young, Matthew, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward again. This book has a families section toward the back so you an read about your immigrant ancestor clear through to descendants living at the time the 2nd edition of this book was published (1912.) Note that all three lines came through Connecticut arriving in Ludlow around 1775.

SMITH, HYRUM
Son of Lucy Mack, above, Hyrum was a Gen. 8 descendant of Edward Fuller and of John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley via his maternal grandmother. He was born in Tunbridge, VT in 1800 and did leave descendants. See his and/or Lucy's Howland-Tilley writeup for that lineage. Wikipedia has a different image for Hyrum, what looks like an undated pencil sketch by an unknown artist. The image here comes from the same source as Lucy's, and like hers is a black & white image of a color oil painting made prior to 1911. Thanks to the updated image, a scan of the paper book vs. the digital download, it looks like Hyrum and his mother had brown eyes (or at least were "drawn that way." It's not clear if these were painted from life.) See Evelyn M. Wood Lovejoy, History of Royalton, Vermont with Family Genealogies 1769-1911, Part 2 (Burlington, VT: Town of Royalton & the Royalton Woman's Club, 1911), pp. 644-7, digitized by the New York Public Library, image scanned from LOC paper copy by Sarah M.

STEVENSON, JOHN McALLISTER
Son of a father of the same name from NY and a mother who was a Howland-Tilley descendant from VT, this John was born in Cambridge, NY in 1846, per the author of the book from which this blurry scan was taken. He was born just in time for the late-19th century enthusiasm for histories of towns, counties, and families (in honor of the American bicentennial) and his mother signed on as a subscriber to an 1878 history of Washington Co, NY that got her Howland ancestry all wrong. That must have influenced John to contribute the five pages of detailed information and the full-length photo that he did for this 1906 book on the county where he and at least one sibling made their mark, Berkshire Co, MA. (See the Howland-Tilley section for his 2 lines from that family.) John's Edward Fuller line is covered in the blue John Howland book vol 3 and up to the birth of his grandmother Huldah in vol. 23, part 3 of the Howland silver books, and confirmed through the birth of her great-grandfather Timothy Fuller in the Edward Fuller silver book. John was Gen 11, as follows: Seraph Huldah (Newton) Stevenson, Huldah (Chipman) Newton, Timothy Fuller Chipman, Bethiah (Fuller) Chipman, Timothy Fuller, Joseph, Thomas, Samuel, Matthew, and Edward of the Mayflower. Image and info from Rollin Hillyer Cooke, Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, Vol. 1 (NY: Lewis, 1906), pp. 252-256, digitized by U MA Amherst.

STYHER, BERT ALVIN
Born in 1870 in Bureau Co, IL, Bert A. Styher is double descendant of Edward Fuller because of a first-cousin marriage of two of his grandchildren. The Edward Fuller silver book leaves off with the birth of Gen. 6 Elizabeth Fuller but notes that in her father's will she was called Elizabeth Goodspeed. Bert is also a Warren, and that book will get you one generation further, to the birth of David Goodspeed. Beyond that I am going by the book from which this image was taken, because the family left New England for what is today the Midwest. To prove this line to the Mayflower Society would require birth, marriage, and death certificate for the generations between you and David. The first of Bert's Gen 12 E Fuller lines runs as follows: Minnie Maud (Goodspeed) Styher, Alvin Hyde Goodspeed, Martin Lewis Goodspeed, Anthony, David, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Samuel, Samuel, Edward of the Mayflower. The second line runs: Minnie Maud (Goodspeed) Styher, Alvin Hyde Goodspeed, Martin Lewis Goodspeed, Anthony, David, Elizabeth (Fuller) Goodspeed, Samuel Fuller, Barnabas, Anne (Fuller) Fuller, Matthew, Edward Fuller of the Mayflower. See the Warren page for that line. Note also that there is a picture of his great-grandfather, Martin Lewis Goodspeed on this page. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, Being a Genealogical and Narrative Record Extending from 1380 to 1906, and Embracing Material Concerning the Family Collected during Eighteen Years of Research, together with Maps, Plats, Charts, Etc., Vol. 1 (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 109-110, 251, 351-2 digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library.

WILLIAMS, SIMEON BREED
|
There are four pages of genealogy charts in this book to describe the ancestry of Simeon and of his wife. Unfortunately the wife's photo did not appear, and she was said to have been a Brewster. According to the chart, Simeon (1815-1902), born in Norwich, but later a resident of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Chicago, was a descendant of Edward Fuller. The Fuller Silver Book does trace the line to the birth of his grandfather, Joseph Williams born 1753 in Norwich, CT. He served as a private in the Revolution (both he and his father are in the DAR's Genealogical Research System (GRS)) then had a distinguished militia career. The text neglects to name his wife, but the chart, the DAR, and the Norwich VRs on the NEHGS site identify her as Abigail Coit, also of Norwich, and lists their children immediately below. The marriage of son William Coit Williams and Nancy Breed, though, is proving hard to find, perhaps because as a sea captain he might have met and married her anywhere. Assuming that marriage and birth, Simeon Breed Williams's line runs: William Coit Williams, Joseph, Joseph, John, Mary (Fuller) Williams, Samuel Fuller, Edward of the Mayflower. Simeon would be a Generation 8 descendant.
Over a half century ago a woman joined the DAR as a descendant of Simeon, and the GRS gives the same lineage but "back in the day" applicants did not have to prove much so there is almost no actual data. (Note: Even if there was, you cannot turn in DAR or SAR lineage papers to the Mayflower Society as proof of a line, and vice versa.) A Williams genealogy was also published in 1915, written by a Cornelia Bartow Williams. It is available on Heritage Quest at your local library and has some nice photos of the Generation 6, 7, 9, and 10 Williamses but note that she says her research is not original, but based on charts, presumably the 4 in this book since she also published a 1905 genealogy of Simeon that was a reprint from this book. In short, do not turn in this line to the Mayflower Society until you can document Simeon's parents' generation.
