About Mary Fuller, (alias Darling)

More Uncertainty about Parentage than Certainty

There's been much speculation about who her parents were.
One curious guess is that she was adopted, but no reasoned rationale or source give it credence.
A more rational guess is that chroniclers conflated her with Mary Darling , who did Not marry Benjamin Fuller That Benjamin married someone named Mary is verified in some primary sources.

From John Darling of Salem, Mass and Monhegan Island, Maine

John Darling, the son, took the Freemans Oath and was married Mary Bishop in 1661 in Salem, Massachusetts. Mary was the daughter of Richard Bishop and Dulzabella King. Some sources indicate, and I believe rightly so, that Mary first married a John Barney/Barnett. I further believe that her three daughters, Mary, Elizabeth and Familiar were of this union and that they took the surname Darling once their mother married John Darling. I base this on the fact that I cannot find a birth for an Elizabeth, Familiar or Mary Darling with parents John and Mary in the Salem records.
