HULL FAMILY.
The name of Hull was an early name in Connecticut, as it is found that George Hull, of Windsor, surveyed Wethersfield in 1636, deputy in 1639, was magistrate, and often member of the General Court.
John Hull, of Windsor, came from Dorchester; was committee of the General Court in 1637-8-9. He married Elizabeth Loomis, of Windsor, in 1641.
There was a Josiah Hull, at Hartford, in 1641.
For the following account of this family, I am indebted to Lauren : Hull, M. D., of Angelica, N. Y.

persons of the name of Hull, who came to this country, were from Derbyshire, England. One of the name settled at Derby, one at Cheshire, and another at Stonington.
The grandfather of Capt. Joseph Hull, of Huntington, the father of Commodore Isaac Hull, of the U. S. navy, and brother of Gen. Wm. Hull, also four others, named Samuel, Isaac, Levi and David, was the ancestor of the Derby family. His name was Joseph, which was the name of his son and grandson.
Of the Cheshire family of whom I have any reliable information, were three brothers, Zepheniah, John and Amos. Doet. Zepheniah Hull was born at Cheshire, in the year 1728 ; m. Hannah Cook,. March 18, 1749, and probably was induced to remove to Bethlem by the Rev. Dr. Bellamy, with whom a close intimacy and warm friend- ship existed until death separated them. Doct. Hull and his wife both died Nov. 10, 1760. While living, they had ch., 1. Lydia, b. Dec. 22, 1749, d. Feb. 21, 1750; 2. Titus, b. March 25, 1751; 3. Lydia, b. Jan. 23, 1753, m.

Nov. 16, 1760 ; 6. Sarah, b. May 17, 1759, d. same time of her sister Hannah.
Titus, the eldest of the surviving children, lived with an uncle at Cheshire six or seven years, studied medicine with Doct. Seth Bird, of Litchfield, settled in Bethlehem on the farm owned by his father, and resided there until 1805, then removed to Danbury, from whence he went to the state of New York in the fall of 1807. He m. in 1772, Lucy Parmelee, dau. of Jonathan Parmelee, of Chatham, by whom he had two ch., both of whom d. in infancy, and Mrs. Lucy in Nov., . 1776. In 1778, he m.
