  Family 1	Samuel FULLER,   b. Abt 1629, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA ,   d. Abt 1695, Middleborough, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA  (Age ~ 66 years)
  Married	Samuel FULLER and Ruth BASSETT were not married. Information that FULLER is the likely father of Ruth's first child, John, is based on recent (2019-2020) DNA evidence. Ruth married John SPRAGUE Sr in 1655 while already pregnant. In June 1655, the couple was accused of fornication, but this appears to be only because of the short time between the marriage and the birth, and not due to any doubts about parentage.
