New York, Sept. 25, 1905. The subject of one's ancestry should be of absorbing interest to all who are possessed of family pride. " To trace one's lineage, to love and record the names and actions " of those without whom we could never have been ; who moulded " and made us what we are ; whom the very greatest of us must " know have propagated influences into our being which certainly " act upon our whole conduct in this world : all this is implied in an- " cestry." The ancestors of those bearing the name of HULL were among the settlers and founders of this country. They took part in the formation of the Government in the early Colonies as well as in the first war of the Colony of Connecticut against the Pequot Indians ; their descendants again served in King Philip's War, and later in the Colonial and Revolutionary War, and have held in both civic and military affairs of this country positions of which we may justly be proud. They certainly command our veneration and respect and have left a record worthy of perpetuation. With a view of stimulating greater interest in the name of HULL this Association has been formed. No pecuniary reward is looked for, but on the contrary much time and labor must be given gratuit- ously. The co-operation of all bearing the family name is necessary to make it a success . In the hope of awakening greater interest in this subject the Directors of this Association have decided to place before those bear- ing the name of HULL some of the earlier lines of three of the earlier New England settlers, viz : those of RICHARD HULL, of New Haven ; GEORGE HULL, of Dorchester, Windsor and Fair- field ; and REV. JOSEPH HULL, of Weymouth, Mass. From which of these are you a descendant? The church, probate and town records of the New England states are very complete down to about the close of the Revolution, 4 HULL FAMILY ASSOCIATION. when there was a large emigration to other localities, and from about that time much difficulty is found in tracing family lines, as the facts depend almost wholly upon family records which have become scat- tered all over the country as the descendants have from time to time changed their places of residence in the march westward. The present generation is about the fourth from that time. It can be seen therefore that with the aid of our members in furnishing us the records of their own lines for at least three preceding genera- tions, a fairly complete record of many family lines can be made. There already exists a large amount of genealogical data of much value and interest to all bearing the name of HULL, which the Association will have collected and published as soon as suf- ficient money can be obtained from members to defray the expense of publishing. Will you not join the Association at once and send to it all the in- formation which you have or can obtain respecting your own line as far back as possible, to the end that a work may be compiled and published which will not only be of value to you but as well to all the other members, and of credit to the Association. This cannot be done without your aid. Hence the importance of your joining our Association now and sending to it all the data which you have or can obtain concerning your own line, giving names, dates and places of birth of ancestors as far back as possible, in order that the same may be collated and a sort of Clearing House for exchange of gen- ealogical data be established. The value of this information to all bearing the family name will be very great. It will enable the As- sociation to help supply many missing links in family histories. This is one of the important aims of the Association. Thus a family as- sociation becomes a Clearing House for Genealogical data, gaining in importance and value with age as each of the various descendants forward to it such data as they possess in their individual lines. Besides the HULLS of New England, there were emigrant set- tlers bearing the name of HULL, who came to New Jersey, Mary- land, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, some of whose descendants are members of the Association. Thus far those bearing the name of HULL have not shown that interest in this subject which it should receive. Shall it be said that the " HULLS " are so indifferent to the memory of their ancestors as to be unwilling to unite in the publica- HULL FAMILY ASSOCIATION. s tion of their own family history, when our libraries are replete with the histories of most of the other early settlers ?

The name was originally spelled " Hulls," and the final " s " was dropped by his descendants. His name is in the list of freemen in the Massachusetts Colony prior to 1639; also in -the list of those who took the oath of fidelity ito the Colonies. He lived in Dorchester, Mass., in 1634; sold his house and ground there in 1637, and lived in Boston awhile, and then moved to New Haven, Conn., in 1639, of which town he was one of the founders. He lived on what is now Chapel Street about two blocks from " the green." He was admitted to the General Court of Connecticut in 1639. He left property and money when he died, as shown by his will, dated Aug., 1662. He died Dec. 3rd, 1662. The name of his wife has not yet been found. He was a member of the Church but not a believer in Puritanism. His descend- ants married into many of the most prominent families of their time. Notably the Andrews, Merriman, Peck, Porter, Moss, Hall, Doolittle, Walker, Lewis, Strong, Clapp, Wright, Ford, Beach, Bennett, Cook, Stebbins, Ives, Clark, Royce, and Hopkins families. They have filled prominent places in the list of army and navy officers, physicians, clergymen, lawyers and business men in each generation. Prominent among these are Commodore Isaac Hull, the hero of the Constitution ; Capt. Joseph Hull, a man of reckless courage ; Gen. William Hull, one of the best andbravest officers of his timej whose record though for a time under a cloud, was finally thoroughly cleared of all re- proach by an examination of the official record's, whicrh had not been accessible theretofore. Admiral Andrew Hull Foote, who commanded our riaval forces at Fort Donelson and Island No. 10. General Elias Hull, of Georgia, who was very prominent in the War of 1812. General Joseph Wheeler, the distinguished Southern leader, who also took a prominent part in the Spanish War. Judge Andrew Hull, Drs. Titus and Amos Hull, and many others. Promptness and decision have always been strong traits of the Hulls, and it is hoped that Richard's descendants will prove that they still possess these qualities by promptly joining the Hull Family Association, and furnishing the Association with all the family data they have or can obtain.

HULL FAMILY ASSOCIATION. i 3 REV. JOSEPH HULL. _ Joseph Hull, born in Somersetshire, 1594, of Weymouth, Mass., 1635, of York, Me., 1642-3. His first wife, name unknown, died in England, and he married again , about 1635, and died at York, Me., Nov. 19, 1665, leaving issue by both wives. He matriculated at St. Mary Magdalen Hall, Oxford, May 12, 1612, aged 17. He was instituted Rector of Northleigh, Diocese of Exeter, Devonshire, April 14, 1621. On March 20th, 1635, he sailed with his family, consisting of his wife Agnes, aged 25 years, who was his second wife, and two sons and five daughters, and three servants, from Weymouth, bound for New England, with a company composed of sixteen families and numbering one hundred and four persons, chiefly west country people. They arrived in Boston Harbor, May 6th, 1635. On their arrival at Boston, a grant was obtained to establish a plantation at Wessaguscus, and here, with others from Boston and Dorchester, they soon gathered into a church organization, with Mr. Hull as their pastor. In September of the same year, Mr. Hull, with other prominent members of his community, took the Freemen's oath, and their plantation was erected into a Township and " decreed hereafter to be called Weymouth." The new church did not meet with favor from its Puritan neighbors. Dis- sension quickly arose within the church itself, instigated by the authorities outside, and, in less than a year, the Separatists had called the Rev. Thomas Jenner, of Roxbury, to be their pastor, and Mr. Hull relinquished his charge and withdrew. He obtained a grant of land in Hingham, the adjoining town, and after a brief season of preaching at Bass River, now Beverly, he gave up his minis- terial labor and turned his attention to civic affairs. He evidently possessed the confidence of his fellow townsmen, for he was twice elected Deputy to the General Court, and in 1638 was appointed one of the local Magistrates of Hingham. In June, 1639, the Plymouth Court granted authority to Mr. Joseph Hull and Thomas Dimoc to erect a plantation at Barnstable on Cape Cod. Mr. Hull was elected Freeman and Deputy for Barnstable at the first Gen- eral Court held at Plymouth. For a time he supported his family by agriculture and the raising of cat- tle and horses. Turning once more to the ministry, he preached for a time at the " Isle of Shoals." Returning to Barnstable he accepted a call at Yar- mouth, and moved his family there; but as the call was not for a recognized church organization, it aroused the hostility of the authorities, and Mr. Hull was excommunicated by the Barnstable Church in 1641. He withdrew to the more friendly association of the Maine colony. For a time he was settled at the Isle of Shoals, and in 1643 was called to York, Maine, as minister. In 1652, Mr. Hull returned to England, and was given the living at " St. Burian," in Cornwall, where he remained until after the Restoration. In 1662, he returned to America, and was settled as minister at Oyster River, now Dover, N. H. Here, among his old friends, he passed the closing j 4.

An interesting account of Mr. Hull and his ministry is contained in the "'Barnstable papers," written by Hon. Amos Otis. SECOND GENERATION. The children of the Rev. Joseph Hull were : 1. Johanna, b.
