Hi Lyle, We might be cousins, but so far I have not found that I am a HULL desc. Thot I was, but have since learned that HULL is not a direct line for me, altho my ancestor was named Phineas Hull FOY. Turns out he was named for his mother's sister's deceased husband! That man died a few yrs bef my Phineas was born. I surmised HULL was his mother's or grandmother's maiden name. I was wrong! So far, no ancestors have been found for that Phineas. I have recently, 2 yrs ago, found loads and loads of ancestors for my Phineas, tho. I have lots of New England anc, but they were very class conscious in those days, and altho I have some very fine anc, the movers and shakers did not intermarry with my family! If we are cousins, it is on a dif New England line, I think. I will prob not join HFA again this yr. Had planned to drop this yr, but then they started giving some new info on a New Jersey family, likely the above Phineas' line, as all the rest of the family had come from NJ around 1800 or a little bef. I can send you an alphabetical list of the surnames I am researching. I enclose it with each letter I send to a new correspondent. Has all my New England names. Let me know.
