    1. [PaOldC] Sarah Hull 1759-1836
    2. Sandra Ferguson
    3. I have much on the Bengtssons, and if you tell James' line of descent, I'll see if I have anything. As they married in Baltimore, Md, wouldn't you think this the likely home of Sarah? I always figure couples generally marry where the bride is from, don't you? I assume you've looked for the Hull family there, with no luck. I'm just not sure what the reason is you think the Hulls might have been from Chester. I've looked in THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by Futhey and Cope, and the only Banksons were early ones and there are no Hulls included in the index. I also checked the 1765 Chester Archives (looking for potential parents for Sarah), and no Hulls. I checked the CD of wills, and no Hulls mentioned in any way, in Chester. a John Hull served as witness in 1827, Radnor...Del. Co but that's it. Absolutely no luck this morning, I'm sorry to say. Sandra Sarah (Susan) Hull, b. 1759, d. 1836. Married James Bankson, 1783. The marriage was performed by the Rev. Siegfried Gerock, minister of Zion Lutheran in Baltimore. James served in the Revolution in the Maryland Line, and later as a privateer on the ship "Viper" out of Boston. He was imprisoned in Mill Prison in England from 1781-1782. James was a descendant of Anders Bengtsson, 1640-1705 who was one of the early Swedish settlers in Pennsylvania. I have been unable to learn anything about Sarah Hull. Some of the Bankson family associates were living in the Welsh Tract, so there may have been connections there. I find a David Hull and Rachel Hull in Vol. 1 of "Early Church Records of New Castle County, Delaware" and a Sarah and Elizabeth Hull in Vol. 2, but these do not seem to match my Sarah.
