PREFACE In compiling the "Genealogy of Some Descendants of Thomas Fuller of Woburn," I have been greatly assisted by the work of the late Elizabeth Abercrombie, whose volume is an authority on the genealogy of the descendants of Joseph^ Fuller, No. 5 of my First Group; by the work of the late Jesse Franklin Fuller, No. 85 of the Fourth Group; and that of the late Rev. Arthur Buck- minster Fuller, No. 31 of the Eighth Group, and his daughter, Edith Davenport Fuller. I am also indebted to papers of the late Newton Fuller of New London, descendant of Robert Fuller of Salem; to Mrs. C. W. Everts of Nashville, Mich.; Watson Fuller of Atlanta, Ga. ; to the late Thomas Hart Fuller of Washington, D. C. (See page 4) for obituary notice; to Prof. S. W. Geiser of Fayette, la.; to War- ren B. Fuller of Sioux Falls, S. D. ; to Charles M. Fuller of Spring- field; and in a lesser degree to many others for information con- cerning the descendants of Thomas Fuller of Woburn, and other Fuller lines. ' As a result of this assistance and of my own re- searches, the information about the descendants has been largely increased especially in six of the ten Groups in which the descen- dants of said Thomas Fuller have been arranged. In the Supplements to Volumes I, II, III, there is much new information, especially concerning families in the (>th, 10th and 11th Groups in the Edward Fuller line; the 4th Group in the Cap- tain Matthew Fuller line; and the 8th and 11th Groups in the John of Ipswich line. The Fuller Coat of Arms, previously shown in ])lack in Volunit I (now about out of print), is shown in the present volume in color. It is hoped this work will meet with the approval of all concerned. Wm. H. FULLER. Palmer, July 8, l'.»19. Thomas Hart Fuller, descendant of John Fuller of Ipswich (see pages :240 and 244, Volume 3, Fuller Genealogy), who died Sunda3^ June 8, 1919, in Washington, D. C, was, through his work among the U. S. Records and in the Congressional Library, my most valued correspondent. His research work, like that of the late Newton Fuller, con- cerned the ten ancestral lines of Fullers. Thomas Hart Fuller was born in Lisbon, Conn., Feb. 22, 1840; graduated from Yale College in 1863; spent a year in Paris, and traveled in Europe, Egypt and Palestine. Later he taught school some 20 years; then he entered the U. S. Postal service, where he had been Post Office Inspector 15 years. The genealogical re- searches were made in leisure hours and were shared by his brother, Luther Fuller, w^ho lives in Washington. In one of Thomas Hart Fuller's numerous letters, written about 1915 just after the publication of Volume 3, he stated that he "thanked God he had lived to see that book." I had hoped he would be pleased to welcome Volume 4. Wm. H. FULLER. THOMAS HART FULLER- 1:«, Page 'Mi).

AMERICAN FULLER GENEALOGY LINE OF THOMAS FULLER OF WOBURN First Generation Thomas' Fuller, who came to America from England in 1638, and settled in Woburn, died in Salem in June, 16!)S, aged SO years and 2 months.

His IJd wife was Harriet (Pamer) Wilson; date of marriage, and of her death not found. Woburn, incorporated Sept. 27, 164:>, was previously a part of Charlestown.
