Update 4 January 2024:

Y‐DNA testing has conclusively proven that Dr. Matthew Fuller, of Barnstable was not a son of Edward Fuller, "Mayflower" Passenger.

Extensive Y‐DNA testng was completed as part of the Fuller Big Y DNA Project. Specifics of the DNA testng were reported in the Summer 2022 Issue of The Mayflower Descendant, published by the New England Historical and Genealogical Society. The conclusion of this testing was:

The NGSY‐DNA results demonstrate that Matthew Fuller cannot be Edward’s son or descendant and that the immigrant Robert Fuller is more closely related to Matthew than Matthew is to Edward. In sum, all three men are kinsmen, but no father‐son relationship exists among them. The genealogical timeline makes such kinship impossible.

Captain Matthew FULLER was born in 1603 in Redenhall, Norfolk, England. (3811)(3812) (3813)(3814) Whether Matthew was a son of the Mayflower immigrant Edward Fuller was been disputed for nearly a century before it was resolved. In the article, "Was Matthew Fuller of Plymouth Colony a Son of Pilgrim Edward Fuller," Bruce Campbell MacGunnigle tackles all of the arguments on both side and concludes that he was. His parents and brother Samuel arrived on the Mayflower on 1620. His parent died shortly after but Matthew did not come to Plymouth until 1640. He emigrated before 26 Oct 1640 to Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.(3815) (3816) He sold a parcel to Andrew Ridge (first recorded document of Matthew in America) on 26 Oct 1640 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.(3817) He took the oath of a freeman in 1642 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony.

He served as a Barnstable Militiaman between 1652 and 1673 in Barnstable, Plymouth County.(3829) (3830) On 20 Jun 1654, he was appointed a Lieutenant under Mile Standish, as part of a 50-man quota, to fight the Dutch at Manhattan, but peace between England and Holland was declared 23 Jun 1654, and the expedition was cancelled. On 2 Oct 1658, he was elected to the Council on War and in 1671, he became its Chairman. In 1673, he became Surgeon General of the Colony troops. He appeared in court after 1652 in Barnstable, Plymouth County. (3831) Fined for taking public stand in support of the Quakers. He was Deputy to the Plymouth County court in 1653 in Barnstable, Plymouth County. (3832)(3833) He took the oath of a freeman on 7 Jun 1653 in Barnstable, Plymouth County. (3834) He appeared in court on 2 Oct 1658 in Plymouth Colony.(3835) Fined 50 shillings for speaking reproachfully to the court concerning the law governing maintenance of ministers. He served as an Added to Council of War in 1671. Captain of the Plymouth Colony forces and surgeon in 1675 between 1671 and 1675 in King Philip's War (1675-1676).(3836) (3837) (3838)(3839) Being in his 70s at the time of the war, Matthew was somewhat reluctant to take the job. he told Colonel Benjamin Church that he had become "ancient and heavy" and feared he would be overwhelmed by travel and fatigue. He signed a will on 25 Jul 1678 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA. (3840)(3841) 667 £ including 200 £ in pearls, diamonds and other stones. He died between 25 Jul 1678 and 22 Aug 1678 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA. (3842)(3843) (3844)(3845) Besides his land in Barnstable, he had been granted land in Falmouth and Middleboro for distinguished service. He died a wealthy man. He left, according to his inventory, £667 (including £200 in pearls, diamonds, and other stones) on 22 Aug 1678 in Barnstable, Barnstable, MA.(3846) He was a physician, surgeon in Massachusetts.(3847) (3848) (3849) He was one of the first surgeons to settle at Barnstable. He was appointed surgeon of the force of the colony. In 1673, he was appointed Surgeon General of the Colony Troops in Barstable. He granted land in Falmouth and Middleboro for distinguished service.(3850) Parents: Edward FULLER and Wife.

He married to Francis about 1629 in England. (3851)(3852) (3853) I assumed that they were married one year before the birth of their eldest child.

Francis Lyde was born before 1614 in England.(121) I assumed that she was at least 15 when she bore her first child. She emigrated before 26 Oct 1640 to Plymouth, Plymouth Colony. (122) She died after 26 Oct 1678.(123) (124)

She married to Captain Matthew FULLER about 1629 in England. (125)(126) (127) I assumed that they were married one year before the birth of their eldest child.
