Notes:

Shown by Frank Bertinchamps, on the Rootsweb World Connect Project Tree titled "Bertinchamps/Scott/Hackleman/Sailors/Saint-Paul," as the great-granddaughter of Samuel FULLER and Jane LOTHROP. Samuel arrived to the Plymouth Colony in 1620 aboard the Mayflower, along with his parents, Edward and Anne Fuller of Norfolk, England.

Said to the daughter of Matthew Fuller and Patience Young, but her date of birth contraindicates this. Need to follow up more throughly.
