New Haven County CT

New Haven county CT is bounded North by Litchfield and Hartford counties, East by Middlesex county, South by Long Island Sound, and West by Litchfield county and the Housatonic river, which separates it from Fairfield county. Its average length from east to west is about 26 miles, and its width from north to south 21 miles; containing 540 square miles, or 345,600 acres. This county, lying on Long Island Sound, has a very extensive maritime border, but its foreign trade is chiefly confined to New Haven harbor. Its fisheries of oysters and clams, and other fish, are valuable. It is intersected by several streams, none of them of very large size, but of some value for their water power and fish. Of these the principal are the Pomperaug and Naugatuc, on the west; Quinnipiac, Menunkatuc, West and Mill rivers, on the east. The Quinnipiac is the largest, and passes through extensive meadows. The county is intersected centrally by the New Haven and Northampton canal, which passes through this county from north to south. There is a great variety of soil in this county, as well as of native vegetable and mineral productions. The range of secondary country which extends along Connecticut River as far as Middletown, there leaves that stream, crosses into this county, and terminates at New Haven. This intersection of the primitive formation, by a secondary ridge, affords a great variety of minerals, and materials for different soils. Capital, New Haven.

The Hull family in America

“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.
