My Family Tree

Mariah Fuller,6 who may have been the widow of Ebenezer Fuller, son of Barnabas and Elizabeth (Young) Fuller, whose intentions of marriage were published in Barnstable 1 January 1724/5 to Martha Jones.7 However, when their six Fuller children were registered in Barnstable, the name "Mariah" was written over "Marrah" as the name of the mother. When the same children were baptized in the West Parish Church of Barnstable, they were called "of Maria, wife of Eben. Fuller."8 [See John Howland of the Mayflower 1:277 for a discussion of two men named Ebene¬ zer Fuller.] Therefore, it is possible that the Mariah Fuller who married Joseph Howland as his second wife, was the widow of Ebenezer Fuller, son of Barnabas Fuller. Her maiden name was Martha/Marrah/Maria Jones but her parentage has not been ascertained. [See Mayflower Families 4:117.]
