Twelve generations are lined out with reference sources, names, dates, and places proving the lineage to Edward Fuller, a passenger on the Mayflower voyage which terminated at Plymouth, New England in December of 1620.
  		A Brief History of John Seymore Allen "While supporting one missionary he prospered greatly and was so encouraged that he supported two more after the first had returned. His financial status reversed and he became almost bankrupt, barely able to keep the missionaries out." (From Ancestors and Descendants of Andrew Lee and Clarinda Knapp Allen; compiled by Gerald R. Fuller; edited by Esther Fuller Dial; Published by The Andrew Lee Allen Family Organization; Page 218)
