My 8th great - grandfather was born in 1657 Salem, Essex, Massachusetts, American Colonies to Robert Fuller and Sarah Bowen. He was the youngest of 10 children that included Elizabeth (1636), Jonathan (1639), Sarah Elizabeth (1645), Benoni (1646), Samuel (1647), John (1649), Patience (1651), Abigail (1652), and Mary (1653). Benjamin's family went through a fair amount of sadness with Benoni not surviving infancy, however in 1676 things got worse. 1676 brought about the first Indian Wars in the American colonies. It was during this time that Sarah, Benjamin's mother, and two of his brother's, Samuel and John, were murdered by some of the natives in the area.
In 1678 Benjamin married Mary Barnet Darling at Salem and they had two sons, Benjamin II and Ezekiel. Mary died in 1695, when Ezekiel was about a year old. In 1697 he married Judith Smith at Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts, American Colonies. They went on to have 8 children in Rehoboth. He passed away there at the age of 54 on January 11, 1711.
