Sarah Crowell

vii. SARAH FULLER, b. December 14, 1654; d. Aft. October 29, 1683; m. CROWE

Sarah Fuller Crowell was born on December 10, 1654 in Barnstable, Massachusetts and was the daughter of Samuel Fuller and Jane Lothrop.

According to Brainard, she may have married John Crowell, Senior of Yarmouth.

In 1683 she inherited from her father “four pounds in Money and two Cowes" and “all my household stuffe to be equally Dvided" with her three sisters.

notes

from http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MAYFLOWER/2004-10/109...

Since I have the book open I did discover that the line for Sarah Fuller and John Crowell ends at this early point. It states that Sarah was born 14 Dec 1654. She m. ___ Crowe (or Crowell)**; living 29 Oct 1683; n.f.r.
Samuel Fuller's will leaves daughter "Sarah Crowe four pounds in money and two cowes" (MD 2:239). Sarah at this time was 28 years old and presumably lived in Barnstable Co. close enough to drive two cows home. After exhaustive research, it has proven impossible to identify her husband. If she did indeed marry a Barnstable Co. Crow (or Crowell - the names seem to be used interchangeably), she would have married into the second generation of the family of Yelverton Crowell or John Crow. However, all the men in these families are either accounted for or left little or no record.

comments

Date and place of marriage have also been (erroneously?) reported to be an unspecified date at Yarmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts.

Date and place of death have been erroneously reported to be 1654 at an unspecified location.

Origins

• http://mayflowerhistory.com/fuller-samuel2
• Samuel Fuller (the younger)
• BIRTH: About 1608, probably in the vicinity of Redenhall, co. Norfolk, England.
• MARRIAGE: Jane Lothrop on 8 April 1635 at Scituate.
• CHILDREN: 1) Hannah, 2) Samuel, 3) Elizabeth, 4) Sarah (died young), 5) Mary, 6) Thomas, 7) Sarah, 8) John, and 9) a child whose name is not recorded but whom died 15 days after birth.
• Samuel and wife Jane would raise their family initially at Scituate, before moving sometime shortly before 1641 to Barnstable, where he would live out the next forty years of his life. His probate records of 1683-1684 indicate that his wife predeceased him. He also bequeathed an Indian named Joel to his son John, which would make him the only Mayflower passenger known to have later owned a slave (Native American, in this case).
