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:
“At best the family teaches the finest things human beings can learn from one another—generosity and love. But it is also, all too often, where we learn nasty things like hate, rage and shame.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
“We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
