Anna does not appear as a child of her parents in the 1925 Robinson Genealogy because she was only baptized as her parents were transitioning from Tisbury, Mass. to Windham, Conn. The Robinson Genealogy and Mayflower Silver Book for Pilgrim Edward Fuller incorrectly state Anna, second wife of Rodolphus (q.v. Rhodolphus) Fuller, was the twin of brother Isaac Robinson born in August 1708 at Tisbury, Mass. but that Anna died young as she is not separately named in her father's 1740 will. The correct Anna (Robinson) Fuller, who is named in her father's will, d. Apr. 6, 1799 at Canterbury, Conn., in the 83rd year of her age (i.e., Æ 83) indicating she was born after Apr. 6, 1716. She is buried next to the grave of her step-daughter Elizabeth (Fuller) Allen, the oldest child of her husband by his first wife Ann Hall.
On Oct. 9, 1755 at the Scotland Soc. Chh., then in Windham, Anna m. as his second wife, her widowed brother-in-law Rhodolphus Fuller, s. of Sgt. Samuel Fuller, Jr. and Elizabeth Thacher. He was b. Aug. 22, 1703 at Mansfield, Conn. and purportedly d. June 9, 1795, but no record is found to confirm that date. He was two years older than his sister Ruth, the wife of Anna's oldest natural brother Peter Robinson., Jr .
Anna Robinson and Rhodolphus Fuller had two children recorded at Mansfield, Conn.:
• i. Samuel, b. Feb. 3, 1758; no further current record known.
• ii. Anne, b. Nov. 1, 1759; d. 12 days later on Nov. 22, 1759.
