“The Hull Family in America,” authored by Charles H. Weygant and published in 1913 by the Sun Printing Company in association with the Hull Family Association, offers a comprehensive genealogical examination of the Hull family lineage within the United States. The work is structured around the descendants of three primary ancestors: George Hull and his descendants, his brother Reverend Joseph Hull and his lineage, and Richard Hull with his descendants. With roots tracing back to Somersetshire, England, the text explores the emigration and subsequent generations of these family branches in great detail, alongside an inquiry into the so-called New Hampshire Hulls whose connection to the main branches remains undiscovered. The book was completed posthumously with contributions from Weygant’s sister, Mrs. Roberts, and the daughters of Mr. James W. Hull, who revised and corrected the manuscript, ensuring a thorough documentation of the Hull family’s history in America.
After the death of Col. Weygant, his sister, Mrs. Roberts, completed his work, and the daughters of Mr. James W. Hull revised and corrected the manuscript.
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 Hull 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.
