Do you know anything about Elkanah born 1709 son of Samuel Fuller and Elizabeth Thatcher? I believe he married several times, my interest is in his marriage to Naomy (maybe her name was Fuller also, perhaps the daughter of Samuel Fuller and Naomi Rowley???) The Mayflower Families third edition 2006 (pg 87-88) show that Elkanah Fuller married first Mary Andrews, second Naomi and third Lydia ____ Hooker. Children born to Elkanah Fuller and Mary Andrews; Sarah b. 9 Oct 1732 Samuel b. 25 Sep 1733, d. 30 Dec 1737 Eleanor b. 23 Aug 1735. d. 15 Apr 1737 Mary b. 1 Jun 1737 Bethia b.9 Feb 1738/39 Children born to Elkanah Fuller and Lydia ___ Hooker; Samuel 9 Feb 1743/44 Bethany b. 12 Mar 1746 No children to Naomi........................ This information can not be correct as Elkanah Fuller did not marry Lydia _____ Hooker until 1767 and the children accredited in this book to Lydia ____ Hooker were born well before that date, i.e Samuel 1743/44 and Bethany 1746. I checked with the Mayflower Society (VT) and they advised that there is a correction to this, here is the reply: "regarding the fuller book stating that Elkanah & naomy had no children is incorrect.......the book when published was incorrect but the proof readers missed it.......we as historians, were notified that Samuel & Bethany were by his 2nd wife, Naomi...shortly after the book was printed and issued". I am trying to determine if there was another daughter born to Elkanah and Naomy named Hannah born 1748. I have a Josiah Read/Reed who married "Hannah" (believe Fuller) they named their eldest son "Rodolphus" ~ Elkanah Fuller had a brother named Rodolphus and plus Elizabeth Thatcher's father was Rev. Rodolphus Thatcher. Any further info or comment on these people much appreciated. Thank you Janice Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
