BULL, CAPT. THOMAS, must have been in Connecticut as early as 1636, as he was usefully connected with the bloody battle against the Pequot Indians, in May, 1637.
Thomas Bull embarked for New England in the Hopewell, Tho's Babb, master, Sept. 11, 1635, with John Kirbie, Daniel Pryer, John Prier, and others.
Capt. Bull was one of the early settlers at Hartford, and became familiar with the Indian language. In 1639, Capt. Bull informed the Court that a gun had been found at Pequannacke, supposed to have been John Woods, who had been murdered by the Indians, with the initials of his name, (J. W.) marked upon it. In 1640, he was located south of Little River, in the South-westerly part of the vil- lage of Hartford, on a house-lot, bounded N. on the road from G. Steele's house to South Meadow ; W. on P. Davis, or Ward's lot ; E. on Richard Lyman, and S. on Stephen Post's lot. He was pecul- iarly useful to the early settlers, being somewhat acquainted with the habits and language of the natives. Juror at Hartford in 1648 and 9. In May, 1650, a grant of land was made to him and others, and in Sept. after, the Gen. " Courte desires Mr. Governor, Mr. Dep- uty, and Mr. Webster, to consider of the Grant of land to Thomas Bull and others, and to settle something vppon them." In 1651, the record says, "The Courte hath also spoken with Lieftennant Bull, about the land at Nihantecutt, laid out to him and others with him, who hath promised to confer with Vncas and indeuor to give him reasonable content," &c. In March, 1651-2, the Court granted to Thomas Bull, and the rest of the five soldiers of Capt. Mason, 200 acres of upland, which lay northward and adjoining to the remain- der of land before laid out to them, which they accepted, for 100 acres they resigned, near Saybrook, for Indian cultivation. In 1653, the Commissioners of the United Colonies ordered to be raised in the
387

four Colonies, 500 men, of which number, Connecticut was to raise 65, to fight the Dutch. The Gen. Court of Connecticut ordered the 65 men raised by impressment at a day's warning, with provisions, &c., with Lieut. Cook, commander, and Lieut. Bull to be their L't, and Lieut. Tho's Wheeler, of Fairfield, for Ensign, &c.
In May, 1662, Tho's Bull was appointed one of the twelve Grand- jurors appointed by the Gen. Court for the Colony.
At the time it was discovered that Major Andross was about to make a hostile invasion of Conn., and demand the military posts for the Duke of York, Capt. Thomas Bull, of Hartford, commanded the forces at Saybrook. Upon the arrival of Major Andross, with an armed force in the Sound, making for the fort, Capt. Bull, having had no instructions from the Governor how to act on the occasion, proved himself a man of sound discretion, and a soldier. Andross, with his armed sloops, drawn up before the fort, hoisted the king's flag on board, and demanded the surrender of the fort and town. In return, Bull hoisted also the king's flag in the fort. Andross, unwilling to fire upon the king's colors, desisted from firing upon the troops ; yet he continued his position a part of two days. The Leg- islature sent by express, a protest against Major Andross, to Capt. Bull, at Saybrook, which amounted to instructions to Capt. Bull how to proceed, and to inform Major Andross of the determination of the Colony to maintain their own government under the charter, with their own officers. Andross wished to be permitted to land and have an interview with the ministers and chief officers, and was per- mitted to land with his suite only. Capt. Bull met them at the land- ing, and informed the Major he had that instant received by express instructions to tender him a treaty, and refer the whole controversy to Commissioners. Andross refused, and commanded, in his maj- esty's name, that the duke's patent and his commission, received from his Royal Highness, should be read. Capt. Bull boldly, in his majesty's name, told him to forbear reading. (See Bull's Letter.) Still the clerk of Andross attempted to read. Bull repeated his com- mand, and in such a manner and voice, as satisfied Andross his safe course was to desist. Capt. Bull then informed him of his address from the Gen. Assembly to him, and read the protest. Dr. Trum- bull says, " Gov. Andross, pleased with his bold and soldier.like appearance, said, ' What is your name ?' He replied, 'My name is Bull, Sir.' 'Bull !' said the Governor, ' It is a pity that your horns are not tipped with silver.' "
Finding he could make no impression upon the officers or people,

he gave up his design, and was waited upon by the militia of the town, and guarded to his boat, and he left with his sloops for Long Island. (See Dr. Trumbull's Hist. Conn., vol. 1, pp. 328-30.) This transaction greatly endeared Capt. Bull to the people of the Colony, as a discreet and an intrepid officer.
He was a brave soldier, and served his new and adopted country with great bravery in the early Indian wars against the first settlers of Connecticut.
