BUMPUS, EDWARD AVERY
Army lieutenant Edward (1875-1901) was a Generation 10 Fuller, as was his brother Chauncey, below. See their Allerton writeups for more details, but the brothers were also Allerton, Chilton, Howland-Tilley, Billington, and Eaton descendants.Their line to Samuel Fuller runs as follows: father Everett Cephas Bumpus, Cephas Cushman Bumpus, Lydia (Cushman) Bumpus, Lydia (Fuller) Cushman, Capt. Josiah Fuller, Ebenezer, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel. Image from Everett C. Bumpus, In Memoriam (for the love I bear my dead) (Norwood, MA: Norwood Press, 1902), frontispiece.

BUMPUS, EVERETT CEPHAS
Father of Edward Avery (above) and Everett Chauncey (below) and sadly the author of their memorial, Everett C. was a Gen. 9 Samuel Fuller descendant and an Allerton, Billington, S. Fuller, Howland-Tilley, Eaton, and Chilton descendant. See the Allerton write-ups of all 3 for the details and full photo credits, and see either son's writeup here for the lineage to Samuel Fuller of the Mayflower. In the photo on the left he is about 55 and in the two on the right he is about 20, younger than his sons.

BUMPUS, EVERETT CHAUNCEY
Like his brother Edward, Chauncey (1873-1901) was a Generation 10 Fuller on his father's side. See their Allerton writeups for more details, but the brothers were also Allerton, Chilton, Howland-Tilley, Billington, and Eaton descendants. Their line to Samuel Fuller runs as follows: father Everett Cephas Bumpus, Cephas Cushman Bumpus, Lydia (Cushman) Bumpus, Lydia (Fuller) Cushman, Capt.

COOMBS, JOHN COLBY
Attorney John C. Coombs (b. 1845, ME) was noted in the book that contained this photo as a descendant of pilgrim Francis Eaton and Sarah (---), his first wife and also a Mayflower passenger, via his mother, daughter of Solomon "Squire/Esquire" Eaton. Solomon and John's mother and father turned out to be documented in the Bowden, ME vital records which are on the NEHGS site. The author did not note his descent from Dr. Samuel Fuller, though, or the Billington family. (See the Eaton and Billington sections for those lineages.) John's Gen. 8 S. Fuller line runs: Abigail (Eaton) Coombs, Solomon Eaton, Ziba, Barnabas, Elizabeth (Fuller) Eaton, Samuel Fuller, Dr. Samuel of the Mayflower. The birth of Solomon and the family's move to Bowdoinham, ME is in the Eaton and S. Fuller silver books. Image & info from Conrad Reno, Memoirs of the Judiciary and the Bar of New England for the Nineteenth Century with a History of the Judicial System of New England, Vol. I (Boston: Century Memorial, 1900), p. 97, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

DOGGETT, PEREZ FOBES
Medical doctor Perez Fobes Doggett was a Generation 7 descendant of medical doctor Samuel Fuller of the Mayflower. He was born in Taunton, 1806 to Rev. Simeon Doggett of Middleborough and Nancy Fobes of Raynham, daughter of Rev. Perez Fobes (who married the couple) and Prudence Wales. His Fuller line is: Simeon, Simeon, Joanna (Fuller) Doggett, John, Samuel, Dr. Samuel. The Samuel Fuller Silver Book gets as far as the birth of the younger Simeon Doggett, and the NEHGS takes it from there. The book from which this image and info comes mentions a couple of family members who owned Fuller heirlooms. Hopefully those are now in the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth. Image and info from Samuel Bradlee Doggett, A History of the Doggett-Daggett Family (Boston: Rockwell & Churchill, 1894), pp. 419, 450, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FULLER, GEORGE A.
The description in the book from which this image was taken states only that George was a direct descendant of Samuel Fuller of the Mayflower, that his parents were Andrew J. Fuller and Fidelia Butterfield, and he was born at Pittsfield on 16 Sep. 1859 (actually 1858), arriving in Acushnet in 1875. He does appear to be a Gen. 9 descendant once you untangle things. Since this book has so far been very accurate, I suspect Mr. Fuller didn't know the specifics himself, just what had been passed on. My experience is that in most cases oral tradition is correct. VRs indicate that George's father was indeed Andrew J. but his mother was Fidelia and/or Nancy and she was from Kennebec Co., Maine. The marriage record shows that Andrew was much older and it was his 2d marriage. Andrew's father, Asa, also turned out to have been married twice, and his father was "Zeber" or "Heber," depending on which source you use. There was no trace of such a person on NEHGS. I suspect given the time and place (Bristol County), he was actually "Ziba," who does appear in the Silver Book. (Think JFK and "Cuber.") According to articles in the MD, much research was required to trace Ziba's father Simeon because he moved to VT and back and never wrote home. Assuming this to be correct, the line turns out to be: Andrew J. Fuller, Asa, Ziba, Simeon, Samuel, John, Samuel, Samuel of the Mayflower. Simeon's wife was a Samson descendant, so see that writeup for more information.

FULLER, JOHN HAROLD
This Fuller is likewise mentioned as a descendant of "the Pilgrims of the Mayflower," indicating the family memory was fuzzy, and he was of the branch that went to Vermont at least by 1788 and never wrote home. The specific father of his great-grandfather Samuel is a bit speculative, partly because the silver book is silent, but based on censuses and year of marriage only 1 son of Archippus Fuller could have been the father of a male who married in 1796. That is the oldest son, Consider, and he was born by 1755 based on the census, probably by 1750 based on his son's age, and therefore probably the only child by Archippus's first wife, Mary Pratt. So, this is my Gen 10 line, and I'm sticking to it, beginning with John's father: Jonathan Kingsley Fuller, Samuel Freeman Fuller, Samuel, Consider, Archippus, Seth, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel of the Mayflower. (Seriously, any time you run into a Fuller family with lots of Samuels, they are likely descendants of Dr. Samuel of the Mayflower, not Edward.) For his Eaton, Cooke, Soule, and Billington lines, see those sections. See also his father's image and writeup, below. Image & a little info from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1904), pp. 270-271, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FULLER, JONATHAN KINGSLEY
See his son John Harold Fuller's writeup and image, above, for the Gen 9 lineage and other Pilgrim ancestors. Jonathan was written up in a different volume of Successful Vermonters, and at least knew his Fuller ancestor was specifically Samuel. His writeup also gave his father's middle name, which I inserted into John's writeup. The book states that Rev. Fuller was born 13 May 1848 in Montgomery, VT. None of these digitized images looks "good" but the Rev. looks touched up around the eyes. Better images are always appreciated. Image and some info from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Lamoille, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1907), pp. 120-2, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

Hayford, Otis Jr.
BEST GUESSTIMATE: This is the author of a history of the Hayford family, whose origins were in New England, and in his book he claims descent from Dr. Samuel Fuller, William Brewster, Francis Eaton, and Henry Samson via his paternal grandmother, Abigail (Fuller) Hayford, Mrs. Gustavus Hayford. Gustavus, in turn, was the son of William Hayward, whose wife Betty Bonney was allegedly granddaughter of an Elizabeth (Howland) Bonney and and daughter of an Ichabod Bonney, Jr., descendant of Dorcas Samson, daughter of pilgrim Henry. It should not be that hard to prove anyone named "Gustavus" in the 1700s, right? None of the relationships in this book worked out as outlined by the author BUT if the Abigail Fuller of Carver, b. 1774 did NOT marry the Zabdee Cobb, to whom she was engaged but Gustavus Hayford instead, then the man in the photo is a Generation 8 Samuel Fuller and Edward Doty descendant plus Generation 10 Billington and Generation 9 Eaton. There was also supposedly Hopkins and Cooke blood in his veins, but I was unable to track that down either. If anyone would like to spend their time doing so, feel free and please email me your evidence and I will change this entry. Otis, Jr.'s parents were second cousins, so if the Bonney ancestor does prove him to be a Samson and or Howland, he would be of that line of descent twice.

Knowles, Thomas H.
Thomas H. Knowles, son of Thomas Knowles and Mary Keith Eaton, was a Generation 8 Samuel Fuller descendant, Generation 8 Eaton, and Generation 9 Billington via his mother. The Eaton Silver Book gets as far as Generation 6, the individual I believe to be his maternal grandfather, Solomon Eaton. This is based on the 1881 New Bedford death record of a "Mary R. Knowles," widow, b. Middleboro, daughter of Solomon ___ and Clara K ____ of Middleboro. Per the book from which this photo was taken, that was the year Thomas H.'s mother died, as a widow, they lived in New Bedford, and she was from Middleboro. Voila. (Corrections welcome.) Earlier Eaton males married Martha Billington and Elizabeth Fuller. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 194, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Packard, Frederick
"Big Fred" Packard, shoe magnate, was born in Brockton 1836 and died there in 1910. He was a Generation 8 descendant of Samuel Fuller and a Generation 9 Francis Cooke descendant. Both lineages were via his father's mother, Susannah (Edson) Packard. She appears in the Samuel Fuller Silver Book as the child of Reliance Fuller, Generation 5 (Isaac 4-3, Samuel 2-1) and Josiah Edson. In the Cooke Silver Book you will find Josiah as Generation 6 via his mother Esther (Allen) Edson, who married James Edson. Esther's lineage was via her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Mary (Reed) Allen, Esther (Tomson) Reed, and Mary (Cooke) Tomson. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 111-14, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
PERKINS, ELIJAH EATON
Civic-minded merchant Elijah was a descendant of Dr. Samuel Fuller, Francis Eaton, and Degory Priest thanks to his namesake maternal grandfather. Born in Middleborough, MA in 1804, he was the son of Azel Perkins and grandson of Isaac Perkins, who was in Middleborough, MA by the mid 1760s, but I cannot place him before his marriage to Joanna Edson in North Bridgewater in 1754. I mention this because there are other Isaac Perkinses in the area and other Perkinses who are Mayflower descendants. For now, we will go with Elijah's maternal line. His Gen. 7 Dr. Samuel Fuller line runs: Lucretia (Eaton) Perkins, Elijah Eaton, Lydia (Fuller) Eaton, John Eaton, Samuel, Samuel of the Mayflower. The birth and marriage of Elijah's mother is in the S. Fuller and Eaton silver books. Image and a tiny bit of information from Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 410, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ROBINSON, MORRILL
There was nothing in the book with this photo to help identify Dr. Morrill Robinson's pilgrim ancestors but eventually I found him to be a descendant of Samuel Fuller, Francis Eaton, and the Billingtons. See the other sections for those write-ups. The Fuller silver book get to the birth and marriage of his mother, once you stumble onto the Samuel Fuller link. The birth and death dates were included (1803-1873 and birth place, South Raynham.) Eventually he turned out to be a Gen 7 S. Fuller as follows: Hannah (Pierce) Robinson, Hannah (Canedy) Pierce, Elizabeth (Eaton) Canedy, Elizabeth (Fuller) Eaton, Samuel Fuller, Dr. Samuel of the Mayflower. Dr. Robinson also served in the legislature (1842-3) so there may be a better image of him somewhere else.

STACKPOLE, EVERETT BIRNEY
See the writeup of his father, Everett Schermerhorn Stackpole, below, for details. Capt. Stackpole, b. 1879 in ME, served during WWI first in the Canadian military (1914-15) then in combat for the US (1915-18.) He served another 2 years and was a colonel in the PA National Guard. I looked for a WWI draft card, which would have had a physical description, but found none. He should be 35-41 years old here. Everett would be a Gen. 9 Samuel Fuller, Rogers, and Eaton descendant and a Gen. 10 Billington. Image and info from Everett S. Stackpole, History and Genealogy of the Stackpole Family, 2d ed.

STACKPOLE, EVERETT SCHERMERHORN
Teacher, minister, and prolific genealogical/historical writer, Everett was also a Gen. 8 Samuel Fuller descendent and a Rogers, a Gen. 8 Eaton, and Gen 9 Billington descendant as well. (See those sections for the lineages.) His image is in more than one book but his history of Durham, ME and his Stackpole family genealogy give the necessary details on his own ancestors. Everett's Samuel Fuller line runs: Eliza (Macomber) Stackpole, Elijah Macomber, Thankful (Canedy/Canady/Canaday) Macomber, Elizabeth (Eaton) Canady, Elizabeth (Fuller) Eaton, Samuel Fuller, Dr. Samuel Fuller of the Mayflower. The Samuel Fuller, Eaton, and Rogers Silver Books take the line to the birth of his paternal grandfather, Elijah Macomber, who died (1849) the year before Everett was born. Presumably his mother was able to provide the remaining details. The censuses enumerate the heads of these households but the vital records of Durham are not on the NEHGS. If you wish to prove ancestry on this line you will need to get additional proof to augment the book. Since Everett was born in 1850 and his Durham, ME book was published in 1899 he was no older than 49 in this picture (which he also used in his 1920 2nd edition family genealogy.)

TOBEY, EDWARD SILAS
A Generation 7 descendant of pilgrim Samuel Fuller on his mother's side, Edward (1813-1891) was also a Generation 7-8 Alden-Mullins descendant. His S. Fuller line runs: Betsey (Fuller) Tobey, Jabez Fuller, Jabez, Isaac, Samuel, Samuel of the Mayflower. The birth of Betsey in Kingston, MA 1789 and marriage to Silas Tobey are noted in both Silver Books. Cambridge, MA recorded his birth, possibly because he and his wife resided there. That record gives no parents. Edward's branch of the Tobey family was from Berkley, in Bristol County, and you really have to hunt for Berkley records. His death record confirms the details found in this book (i.e. b. Kingston, MA to Silas Tobey of Berkley and Betsey Fuller of Kingston) and given the amazing list of business and civic positions he held and apparently discharged with honor, his origins were hardly hidden or unknown. Image and info from Rufus Babcock Tobey, Tobey (Tobie, Toby) Genealogy: Thomas, of Sandwich, and James, of Kittery, and Their Descendants (Boston: Pope, 1905), pp. 132-33, 182-83, digitized by the New York Public Library.

WESTON, THOMAS
Author of two Middleboro, MA histories, he was a lawyer living in Newton, MA in 1895, about age 60 in this image. He died in 1920 and his death certificate and the vital records of his family on the NEHGS site (I stopped in the early 1700s) confirm his parentage and birthplace. Thomas's namesake grandfather was a Soule, Howland-Tilley, Cooke, and Brown - see those lineages in the grandfather's writeups in those sections - but via his grandfather's wife and his father's wife this Thomas (#3) was a Samuel Fuller, Allerton, Warren, Billington, and double Hopkins descendant. See those sections for those lineages. The birth of his paternal grandmother and mention of her married name being Weston is in the Samuel Fuller silver book. Thomas's Gen 8 line runs: Thomas Weston #2, Abigail (Doggett) Weston, Simeon Doggett, Joanna (Fuller) Doggett, John Fuller, Samuel, Dr. Samuel of the Mayflower.
