ho actually traveled on the ship and lived in the colony. Each one had a unique story to tell and I loved being able to “get to know” them and hear their fascinating stories as they answered my many questions, as well as the many questions of my kids who were forced to complete a written school assignment by their mean teacher.

OOOHHH!!!! Samuel Fuller was my ancestor!!! How cool! Hey - did you get any background on his wife? There is some controversy that he married after he came to America, but there is not much known about his wife....

Oops - it was the wife of his Father Edward who they don't know much about. She doesn't appear to have come over on the Mayflower...
