“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.
