Disputed Origins
A previous version of this profile claimed, without source, parents Thomas Fuller and Audrey Anne Gylman, baptized in Redenhall 16 Apr 1618, but there is no such baptism for Thomas son of Thomas (or anyone else) in 1618 in the Redenhall registers. These parents have been detached.
Ancestry.com matching posits that he was son of Rafe (Ralph) Fuller (ca. 8 Nov 1584 - 12 Jul 1649, Redenhall, Norfolk, England) and Elizabeth Eliot (ca. 1588-1645). Along these lines, this Find A Grave: Memorial #64288626 narrative supports these origins, but is indeterminate in proof; further, the death date conflicts with other reports, as do the living dates of the spouse Hannah (and her maiden name). It is possible that this Fuller is mismatched in any number of respects with the FindAGrave memorial, or vice-versa (noting that a 1690 death date applies to the Thomas Fuller in the memorial).
Biography
Thomas Fuller migrated from England to United States.
Lieutenant Thomas Fuller migrated to Middleton, formerly a part of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1638; and is regarded as the progenitor of the Fullers of New England.[1]

posted Mar 23, 2020 by Jillaine Smith Jillaine Smith@Michael Thomas, there are a lot of profiles around since 2015 and earlier with inaccurate or incomplete data.

The PGM project is monitoring this profile because she keeps getting attached to PGM immigrant Edmund James. There is no evidence that Edmund had any children.[1]
It's not known what the source for the "middle" name "Harnet" is.
Biography
Hannah Harnet James was born to English parents in about 1629 and most-likely born in England.
Her maiden name might be James. [2]
She met and married her first husband, John Wilson, in England, around 1650/51 and they had at least one child - John Jr. - before emigrating to Massachusetts in 1652. Their daughter, Sarah, was born in 1653 either in Massachusetts or Connecticut but not in Woburn, Mass. (Woburn birth records show 9 sons & daughters of John Wilson born between 1658 - 1679 but no Sarah Wilson).[3]
She was married secondly to Thomas Fuller of Danvers, Massachusetts.[4][5]
She may have been from Hingham, Norfolk, England.
Hannah's death date and place are unknown. She was still living June 21, 1697 in Woburn, Massachusetts when the town records showed that James Proctor was entertaining his mother-in-law, Hannah Fuller, without "leave of ye selectmen". She was not listed in the will of her second husband, Thomas Fuller, who died June 3, 1698.[6]

Father Thomas married in Woburn, Woburn record lists children Thomas, 1644, Elizabeth 1645, Ruth, 1648, Deborah, 1650, John, 1653, Jacob, 1655, Joseph, 1658, Benjamin, 1660, Samuel, 1662, all children of Thomas, dates make it probable they are one family.

edited 6 months ago by Kathie (Parks) Forbes Bobbie (Madison) HallThanks for noticing. I've added birth & death sources to the daughter Hannah, removed the Woburn parents, and proposed a merge with the Dedham Hannah Fuller.posted 6 months ago by Bobbie (Madison) Hall Jillaine SmithA new set of profiles for the disputed parents were just created and attached. I have detached them and proposed merges for the originals.
Please please please folks, READ the disputed origins section, and discuss evidence for his origins before attaching them.
I have protected this profile to prevent this happening again.
ALSO: there are way too many profile managers on this profile. Unless you are actively researching this immediate family, please "downgrade" yourself to Trusted List; you will see receive updates to the profile via your family activity feed.
Thank you.
posted Mar 23, 2020 by Jillaine Smith Jillaine Smith@Michael Thomas, there are a lot of profiles around since 2015 and earlier with inaccurate or incomplete data. Wikitree's Puritan Great Migration project (a collection of volunteers) is working to improve profiles from this era. We discuss disputed origins in the narrative (this needs to be added to this profile), but do not keep unproven parents attached unless there is some evidence to do so.posted Jul 24, 2018 by Jillaine SmithChris HoytI agree, if their is no Thomas, son of Thomas, then they should likely be disconnected.posted Jul 23, 2018 by Chris Hoyt Anne BThere is no baptism for Thomas son of Thomas (or anyone else) in 1618 in the Redenhall registers. I found probably half a dozen baptisms for Thomas Fullers in 1618. There is certainly no way to determine which one, if any, is the correct parent.

The profile shows Thomas Fuller and Audrey Gylman, but the biographical notes show Ralph Fuller and Elizabeth Elliot, which aligns with my information. Anyone?

Discuss: PGM
Disputed Origins
The PGM project is monitoring this profile because she keeps getting attached to PGM immigrant Edmund James. There is no evidence that Edmund had any children.[1]
It's not known what the source for the "middle" name "Harnet" is.
Biography
Hannah Harnet James was born to English parents in about 1629 and most-likely born in England.
Her maiden name might be James. [2]
She met and married her first husband, John Wilson, in England, around 1650/51 and they had at least one child - John Jr. - before emigrating to Massachusetts in 1652. Their daughter, Sarah, was born in 1653 either in Massachusetts or Connecticut but not in Woburn, Mass. (Woburn birth records show 9 sons & daughters of John Wilson born between 1658 - 1679 but no Sarah Wilson).[3]
She was married secondly to Thomas Fuller of Danvers, Massachusetts.[4][5]
She may have been from Hingham, Norfolk, England.
Hannah's death date and place are unknown. She was still living June 21, 1697 in Woburn, Massachusetts when the town records showed that James Proctor was entertaining his mother-in-law, Hannah Fuller, without "leave of ye selectmen". She was not listed in the will of her second husband, Thomas Fuller, who died June 3, 1698.[6]
