- ↑ Source:Dorsey, Jean Muir. Robert Fuller of Salem, Massachusetts and Some of His Descendants, p. 4, adds a second son Elisha, b. 3 Apr 1720, d. 24 Sep 1804 m. 31 Dec 1787 [sic, records say 1747] Esther Fuller. (Some other secondary sources also show this, though they are focused on the wife Esther's family, none explaining how the relationship was established, nor attempting to specify who his mother was.) No such birth record has been found (presumably in Coventry where the father bought land 1716 - one source claims he moved there as early as 1713 - but he is of Attleborough in the 1716 deed (Vol. 1, p. 93 of Coventry Deeds, viewable at Family History Centers), odd given the precise date asserted, and it is decidely odd that the birth is 7 years after the last recorded child, and nearly 30 years after the marriage, only 18 months before a child by the second wife (an interval that would need to allow for mourning for the first wife, remarriage, and pregnancy according to this source). Elisha is not indicated as a child of the second wife which would be more palatable (and this is done in Source:Johnson, Carol Clark. Fullers, Sissons, and Scotts, Our Yeoman Ancestors, p. 263, with a birthplace of Coventry, but still no explanation of how the parentage was established). The listing of David's children by his second wife is found in Dimock, and also in the town copy of records (Vol 1, p. 417, at the bottom, written upside down, viewable at Family History Centers), neither listing showing a son Elisha. No probate for David has been found so no definitive list of children has been found, nor any deeds involving Elisha. (It is interesting to note that a David Fuller of Willington died in 1760, leaving a widow Mary with children David, Thankful, and Mary - i.e., no Elisha named - but a possible source of confusion.) More thorough research may turn up evidence for including him, but he has been skipped based on the unlikelihood of such a scenario without evidence.
