HULL, RICHARD, came from Derbyshire, Eng., and was made free- man at Dorchester, Mass., in April, 1634, and removed to New Haven, Conn., in 1639. His son John was baptized in 1640. This John the Derby family claim to be their ancestor. Judge Savage thinks John, the son of Andrew, was the settler in Derby. Richard and Andrew were brothers, so said, and each of them had a son John, apparently, one of these settled in Stratford and Derby, the other settled in Kil- lingworth, and was the surgeon in King Philip's war, instead of John of Derby.

GENEALOGIES.
JOHN, son of Richard Hull, was accepted as a planter at Stratford in 1661, and received grants of lands in 1667 ; and was accepted as an inhabitant at Derby in 1668, receiving a grant of land, but does not appear to have removed his family thither until 1675. He became a prominent man at once in the transactions of the town ; was em- ployed by the town to build the first parsonage house, and also the first corn and flour mill in the town ; built two if not three dwelling houses for himself and his sons ; was on the building committee of the first meeting-house, and probably was the chief director of the work. He acquired considerable landed property with the mill, in the town, all of which, apparently, he gave to his sons John and Joseph in 1696. He removed to Wallingford in 1687, where he received a tract of about seven hundred acres of land from that town, where he is called Doctor, and where he died Dec. 6, 1711. He m.
