Edward Fuller, his wife and his son Samuel came to America on the Mayflower. They had lived in Leyden, Holland for a short period of time, but originally came from Redenhall, Norfolk, England. Edward Fuller's father was a butcher by trade and his brother Samuel was a doctor and deacon. Edward's occupation remains unknown.

Edward joined the pilgrims at Southhampton, England, and then embarked first in the "Speedwell" and when the ship proved unseathworthy, transferred to the Mayflower and with his wife and young son, Samuel, continued the voyage to the New World. He was the twenty-first signer of the "Compac." He and his wife both died soon after their arrival and are buried in unmarked graves on Coles Hill at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA. His name appears in the following "Compact" which was drawn up in the cabin of the Mayflower just previous to the landing at Cape Cod in Novermber, 1620.

William Bradford's Mayflower Passenger List (wrote for History, of Plymouth Plantation, written between 1630-1654), refers to "Edward fuller, and his wife; and Samuell their sonne." as passengers. In his later account of where the passengers were in 1650, he wrote, "Edward ffuller, and his wife dyed soon after they came ashore; but their sone Samuell is living, & maried, and hath .4. children. or more."
