My lineage descends from a man that EVERYONE has believed to have “died young.” It’s in the Edward Fuller Silver Book. It’s in the William Hyslop Fuller book. It’s in The American Genealogist publications. They are all wrong.
There are no records of an early death for Abner, and he lived in an area that kept fairly decent records. There are literally TONS of Connecticut records from the late 1600’s. You can find vital records, land records, church records, Hartford Assembly records, Town records… you just need to know where to look.
Proving our lineage requires Abner to live and have a son named Abner Jr. Our family records and the personal knowledge of Charlotte Fuller Rice Leffingwell Fuller link us to Abner Jr… and Abner Jr’s father was Abner of Easton NY… and Abner of Easton was 100 years old when he died in 1824.
So… proving that Abner of Easton is, in fact, the Abner born in Colchester CT in 1724 is the primary goal of this website and research project.
The secondary goal is to prove our unbroken patrilineal line from Edward Fuller b1575, and seeking approval from the Mayflower Society.
