Looking for parents of ANNE FULLER who m. JONATHAN ROWLEY in 1727, Middlesex

[ANSWER 7/23/96]
EDITOR'S NOTE: This question was presented to Bruce Campbell MacGunnigle, C. G., who authored Vol. 4 of Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Edward Fuller and has exhaustively researched the Fuller family.
7/23/96- The response received from Mr. MacGunnigle does not directly offer answers about the ancestry of Anne and Deborah Fuller. However, inasmuch as it was his comments that Anne and Deborah were not of "Little John" Fuller's family, had their family been discovered I am sure he would have brought it to our attention. He furnished several sources for data, and did state that "no connection to Redenhall [of Thomas Fuller] is mentioned." That would appear to preclude a relationship of the above mentioned Thomas Fuller to Samuel & Edward Fuller of the Mayflower.

Both Deborah and Anne were alive when John Fuller died.
His will names his daughters, but NOT those two. Old legends die hard. But the
fact is, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants will accept neither
Deborah or Anne as descendants of Edward Fuller through "Little John"
Fuller. With that goes, of course, claimed ancestry by many of Rev. John Lothrop/Lathrop.

I am related to a lady named Wealthy Rowley, born 10 Marc 1798 in Greene
County (I do not know which state). She married Erastus Pike, born 18 Mar 1801
in Shatsbury, Bennington Co., VT. They had a son named Alvah N. Pike, born 23
Sep 1830 in Rush, NY. I believe Wealthy Rowley was also married to someone named
Filo Brooks before or after Erastus Pike. Seeking whatever kind of information
that is available.

I am trying to find information on a Betsey/Bettey ROWLEY, born ca 1720-1740,
in the East Haddam or (Old) Lyme, Connecticut area. She married Ebenezer/Ebenezar
MINER. Their child, Hannah MINER b. Aug 1, 1758, married Moses HUNTLEY in 1779
in Lyme CT. Moses Huntley's parents, Benejah and Ester (Howell) Huntley, were
from East Haddam, CT. So, both Betsey/Bettey Rowley and Benejah Huntley were
in-laws to Moses and Hannah (Miner) Huntley.

Mary Ann Staley c180601878 married Daniel or George Rawley. They lived on
Wolfe Island, Frontenac Co., ON CAN. He was the second of three husbands. His
birth date is unknown, but he is believed to have been born in the USA. He
married Mary Ann sometime after 1832/4. They had 4 children: William James
RAwley (1835-1881/9) who m. Ann Todd; Martha Rawley (1836/7-?) who m. Robert
Carr; my 3xgt. grandmother Sara Ann Rawley (c1839/40-1912) who never married,
but nevertheless had a son William John Rawley in c1861; and Isabella Rawley
(c1842-1915) who m. John Todd. Daniel/George died sometime between 1841 and
1851. Possible siblings of Daniel/George Rawley may include Thomas Raile
(c1798-?) of Frontenac Co., ON; Mr. Rawley (?-1851) of Belleville, Hastings Co.,
ON, who m. Anna (1799->1851); William Rawley (c1804/08-1869) of Tyendinaga
Twp., Hastings Co., ON who m. Jane Kinnear (c1805-1809); Elias Rowley (?-?) of
Hastings Co. and Brock Dist., ON; Lovina Rowley (1805-1872) of Tyendinaga Twp.,
Hastsings Co., ON, who m. Jacob Hardy (1805-1893) and Gibson Rawley (?-?) of
Tyendinaga Twp., Hastings Co., ON who m. Caroline. Am looking for more
information about Daniel/George's parents and siblings and his birthplace in the
USA. All feedback welcome, however "shaky" the connection might be.
Happy to exchange any information I have, mostly about Rowley, Roley and Rawley
families in Ontario, Canada.
