Samuel Fuller married three times:
1. Alice Glasscock, possibly in England, who died by 1613.
2. Agnes Carpenter in Leiden on April 23, 1613. She was buried at St. Pieterskerk (St. Peter’s Church) on July 3, 1615. Banks states they were married March 15, 1613 and that she was of Wrington, co. Somerset.
3. Bridget Lee in Leiden on May 27, 1617. She died May 2, 1667. It is unclear how many children they had. Banks states she was the daughter of Joyce Lee and sister of Samuel Lee and that she married Samuel Fuller on May 12, 1617.
Child of Samuel Fuller and wife Agnes:
- A small child was buried on June 29, 1615 in Leiden.
Children of Samuel Fuller and wife Bridget:
- A child born in Leiden, who came to Plymouth after May 1627. Bradford’s list of passengers stated “His wife was left behind, and a child which came afterwards.” If so, a child was not mentioned in Samuel’s will. Some have speculated that the Bridget Fuller who married Henry Sirkman in Plymouth on September 30, 1641 might be this child.
- Mercy born after May 22, 1627. She was still living as of Bradford’s list of passengers made in 1651, but there is no further record.
- Samuel born about 1629. Samuel died on August 17, 1695.
- Samuel Fuller (Jr) married:
- 1. A woman whose name is unknown and had one child.
- 2. Elizabeth (Nicholas) Bowen between April 11, 1663, and May 2, 1667, and had six children.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“Family lore can be a bore, but only when you are hearing it, never when you are relating it to the ones who will be carrying it on for you. A family without a storyteller or two has no way to make sense out of their past and no way to get a sense of themselves.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Wherever the citizen becomes indifferent to his fellows, so will the husband be to his wife, and the father of a family toward the members of his household.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
