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.

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.

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 to Melvile 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.

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. Image and info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, ...

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. See that section for that lineage.

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.

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, ...

GOODSPEED, NEWTON HERBERT
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
