• Histories		An Excerpt from "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations" and the family of Matthew Fuller Matthew arrived in the Plymouth Bay Colony before 26 October 1640, the date he sold land previously purchased from John Gregory. On 5 October 1652 he was appointed lieutenant of a 50-man quota to fight against the Dutch; an expedition that was not needed because peace had been found between England and Holland. On 2 October 1658 he was elected a member of the Council of War. On 17 December 1673 he was appointed Surgeon General of the Colony troops. He took a public stand on the side of the unpopular Quakers and received a fine for it. Included is his Will, which Frances, his wife, swore to the inventory, lists his children and belongings.
