With respect to your statments concerning the Rev. Hull, please find many sources to Hull material below. (Please forgive the somewhat stilted sentence structure...it was computer generated from a data file.) 1. Rev. JOSEPH HULL^1,2,3,4 was born about 1594 in Crewkerne, co. Somerset, ENG.^5 The year is confused by his reported age at entering Oxford U., by the ship list at time of immigration, and by when he arrived in Boston. Chamberlain says "near 1595." He emigrated on 20 Mar 1634/35 from Weymouth, co. Dorset, ENG.^6 He was of Somersetshire. aet 40 years. He embarked on the <MARY GOULD> in a group of 106 people he had gathered, who included such persons as RICHARD PORTER*, Massachiel Barnard, JOHN WHITMARSH*, WILLIAM REED*, ZECHERY BICKNELLl,* Henry Kingman, Thomas Holbrook, and ROBERT LOVELL*. [Those individuals in captial letters or who are asterisked are the ancestors of the Hubbards, Smiths and Watsons, the principals of this genealogy.] He reached Boston 25 May 1635. Accompanying him also were his servants, Judith French, aet. 20, John Wood, aet. 20, and Robert Dabyn, aet. 20. He was admitted on 8 Jul 1635 to the Town of Boston, Mass. Bay Colony, N. E.. The same date he and twenty-one other families were allowed "to sit down" in what is now Weymouth. Their presence doubled the population. He was admitted a Freeman on 2 Sep 1635 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, N. E.. He removed in 1636/37 to Hull (formerly Nantasket), Plymouth Colony, MA. Author Lincoln says he was a resident of "the lower plaine, now Hull", so named in 1644. Lincoln does not call the place Nantasket, but all were originally part of the town of Hingham. While there, he continued to preach in Weymouth. He was Deputy to the General Court in 1638 from Hingham, Plymouth Colony, N. E.. Also in March 1639. He was a commissioner to end small causes in 1638. He removed in May 1639 to Barnstable, Plymouth Colony, N.E.. (a place in which he was granted land and of which he founded in June. It was called by the Indians "Mattackeese.".) The rock still stands in the middle of the highway, from which he preached, surrounded by his armed parishioners. He appears on the Barnstable list of "Men Able to Bear Arms" in 1640. On 14 Apr (same year) he invested "Bro. Moe." into office of Teacher. He removed in 1641 to Yarmouth (formerly Mattakeese), Plymouth Colony, N. E.. He was thus excommunicated for breaking communion with Barnstable Church and joining himself with a company at Yarmouth to be their pastor, contrary to the advice and council of the Church of Barnstable. Preached also to a congregation at York several times during the year A "Church-Chapel" was also erected by the inhabitants of the Isles of Shoals on Hog Island for a congregation of which the records say, Rev. Joseph Hull was the minister. on 7 Mar 1642 a warrant was issued, by the General Court in Boston to the Constable at Yarmouth, for his arrest. In 1643 he returned to Barnstable and was reinstated as their minister, he and his wife agreeing that they had erred. He soon left. He removed in 1643 to York, York Co., ME.^7 before the end of the year. Winthrop says it was in May. He remained there about 10 years, or until 1653, when the Mass. Bay Colony subjected the province of Maine to their jurisdiction, and Mr. Hull again felt the power of his old enemies in the Bay. A sound Puritan preacher, Mr. Brock, was sent to supercede him. Shortly after he returned to England and was Rector of St. Burien in Cornwall, near Lands End, where he remained for about 10 years. (Noyes et al. say he was in Launceton, Eng. in 1652, where he had gone with his youngest daughter, who died there that year. This date contradicts the timeframe when he reportedly left York, ME. At best, he must have left in anticipation of events in Maine. EWH.) He appears on the list of Volunteers for the Narragansett War in 1645. He appears on the later list of Soldiers of the Narragansett War that drew "Cedar Swamp" lots in 1645. His lot was No. 37. He again immigrated in 1662 to New England, this time settling at Exeter to be with his family, and had trouble with the Quakers there. He died on 18 Nov 1665 in Hog Island, the Isle of Shoals, Rockingham Co., NH.^8 He died intestate, leaving an estate valued at £52 5s. 5d. -- £10 of which was put down for books and £20 as due him from the Isles of Schoals for his ministry. He was essentially an Episcopalian minister by training. The Hull Family in America has three main divisions: George Hull and his descendants; his brother, the Reverend JOSEPH HULL and his descendants; and Richard Hull and his descendants. George and Joseph were sons of Thomas and Joane Peson Hull, of Somersetshire, England, the earliest known ancestors of the tribe. George was about five years older than Joseph and came to this country five years earlier, in 1630. The relationship of Richard Hull to them, if there is any, is not known. He was a native of Derbyshire, England, and although four years younger than JOSEPH HULLl came to this country before Joseph did, but the exact date of his arrival is not known. There is also a branch of New Hampshire Hulls, so called, whose relationship to any of the three main branches has not been discovered. What could be learned about them by the efforts of Mr. William G. Hull, of Plymouth, N. H., has been included in the present volume. [The Hull Family in America:5] JOSEPH HULL of York, Oyster River, Isle of Shoals, b. Crewkerke, co Somerset. He matriculated at St. Mary's Hall, Oxford, 22 May 1612, aet. 17. He was admitted to the degree B.A. 14 Nov. 1614. His matriculation calls him "son of a commoner." Teacher, curate at Colyton, co. Devon, then rector of Northleigh (North Leigh in the county of Devon), dioc. of Exeter, 4 Apr 1621, on the presentation of Thomas Hull of Crewkerne, Somerset. he resigned there in 1632. In the vicinity of Crewkerne he gathered a company of 106 souls. He next app. ae 40, leading the large comp[any of people], incl. his w. Agnes, ae 25, 7 ch. and 3 servants, who under his leadership sailed from Weymouth in Dorset on or near 20 Mar 1634-35. They landed at Dorchester on 7 Jun 1635 (Thomas Holbrook's deposition) or in Boston 5 May 1635 and went to Wessagueus, soon Weymouth. Winthrop writes that the General Court [Boston] made Wessaguscus a plantation on 8 Jul 1635. He was a freeman of Mass. Bay Colony 2 Sept. 1635. An Episcopalian, and also active in civil life, dissention soon came even in his own church. In 1636 he was living in Hingham "on the Lower Plain" (the part now called Hull), though still serving the church in Weymouth, where he preached his last in May 1639. He was in Barnstable the same year, and a freeman 3 Dec. of that year. He departed from Barnstable also in Dec. He was in Yarmouth 1641, and there excommunicated for his act in leaving Barnstable, a breach partly healed in Mar. 1643 when he and his wife were received back into the Barnstable Church. Gov. Winthrop, calling him an "excommunicated person and very contentious," shows him at York bef. May 1643; there both he and his wife Agnes witnessed Henry Simpson's deed in July 1645, he alone witn. H. S's will 18 Mar. 1646-47. App. leaving all but his smallest ch. behind, he was at Launceston, co. Cornwall, in 1652, called Mr. JOSEPH HULL, minister; 10 years later was ejected from the rectory of Buryan, co. Cornwall. He returned to his children at Oyster River (Durham, NH), later at the Shoals, these islands owing him £20 when he died 19 Nov. 1665. Acc. to his wife Agnes, his Adminx, the chief item in the inventory was 'His books £10'. [ Me P. & C. i. 269-270.] [Chamberlain.
