Samuel Fuller - The Son Of Edward Fuller And His Wife - Is Called By Bradford "A Young Child." He Must Have Been Some Five Or Six Years Of Age, As He Married In 1635, Fifteen Years Later, And Would Presumably Have Been Of Age, Or Nearly So.

Thomas Tinker's name, the mention of his "wife" and "son," the tradition that they were "of the Leyden congregation" (which is not sure), the certainty that they were MAY-FLOWER passengers, - on Brad ford's list, - and that all died early, are all we know of the Tinker family.

John Turner and his two sons we know little about. He seems to have been a widower, as no mention is found of his wife, though this is not certain. He was of the Leyden congregation, and evidently a man of some standing with the leaders, as he was made their messenger to Carver and Cushman in London, in June, 1620, and was apparently accustomed to travel. He appears to have had business of his own in England at the time, and was apparently a man of sober age. As he had three children, - a daughter who came later to New England, and two sons, as stated by Bradford, - it is probable that he was thirty or over. He and both his sons died in the spring of 1621.

Francis Eaton was of Leyden, a carpenter, and, having a wife and child, was probably a young man about twenty five, perhaps a little younger. He married three times.
