    v Mary Sampson, m. Isaac Fuller.
    [Note: Samuel Samson named a daughter Mary Fuller in his will [Plymouth Probate Vol. 9, p. 338. The rest of the information about Mary in this source appears to be guess. The source does not even identify who Isaac Fuller is, or where he lives. An Isaac and Mary Fuller have children in Plympton and Middleborough from 1710 until 1726, and that would appear to be the Isaac Fuller who married 1709 Mary Pratt. No other children are found born to an Isaac and Mary Fuller and, of course, there is no pertinent marriage record found. So the grounds for thinking a woman born about 1707 married Isaac Fuller is not even clear except that this source married Benjamin Fuller to Mary Eddy (even though Obadiah Eddy did not mention a daughter Mary in his will), so it had to think up some different story to account for her being named Mary Fuller in her father's will... So, contrary to this source, it appears, that Mary Eddy died young (not named in father's will of 1722), and Isaac Fuller married Mary Pratt (recorded in 1709), and Mary Sampson married Benjamin Fuller (named Mary Fuller in father's will of 1744, first child b. 1720). As noted on the father's page, it appears that the Eddy Family probably mishandled the Sampson family as well (for example, why did Mary name her first daughter Hasadiah when her mother was supposedly Mercy?). This all appears to be a big mess caused by copying earlier genealogies without checking to see if the facts make sense. Eddy (who gives Samuel Sampson two wives, Hasadiah and Mercy) cites the Sampson Genealogy (which only names one wife Mercy) which cites an article on the Eddy family in one of the first NEHGR issues (that doesn't even name Hasadiah as a daughter of Obadiah Eddy despite there being a birth record and a mention in her father's will).]
