Notes for John Fuller:

From a genealogy of John Fuller: John Fuller, one of the first settlers of Cambridge Village, was born in England in 1611, came to America about 1635, and settled in Cambridge Village, now called Newton, about 1644. In December 1658, John Fuller bought 750 acres of land for about $1 per acre, the tract being bounded on the north and west by Charles River. Later he increased his holdings to upwards of 1000 acres and became one of the two largest land owners in the village. His tract was long known as the 'Fuller Farm.' He divided his land among his children in his lifetime, confirming the division by his will, with the proviso that they should not sell to any stranger, until they, or their next relation, should have the offer of it. Twenty-two of his descendants, it is said, went into the army of the Revolution. He made his will in 1696, and died 'Feb. 7, 1697-8, aged 87' according to his gravestone record.
