In Sept. 1635, the General Court gave that place the name of Hing- ham, because their Pastor and most of his flock, came from Hing- ham, Co. of Norfolk, Eng. Rev. Peter had five sons educated at H.

III. HULL, GEN. WILLIAM, was born at Derby, Conn., June 24, 1753. His father, Joseph, Jr., d. 1775. His grandfather, Joseph, emigrated from Derbyshire, England, and settled in Derby, Conn. He grad. at Y. C., in 1772, studied law at Litchfield, Conn., and was admitted to the bar in 1775. He entered the army of the Revolu- tion, at Camb., in 1775, as Capt. of a Connecticut Co. of volunteers, and was promoted to a Major in 1777, and to Lieut. Col. in 1779; was inspector of the army under Baron Steuben. His services, dur- ing the whole of the war, were constant and valuable; and from all the historical accounts of the war; we cannot learn that his patriot- ism or courage was ever doubted. After the war he was Maj. Gen. of the 3d Division of Mass. Militia; Senator from Middlesex Co .; appointed Gov. of the Michigan Territory, in 1805. At the com- mencement of the last war with England, he was appointed, in 1812, to the command of the north-western army, for the conquest of Can- ada. He surrendered the army of about two thousand men, to the British Gen. Brock, same year, for which act he was tried by a court martial, and sentenced to be shot, which decision was accom- panied by a recommendation to the mercy of the President of the U. S., who remitted the execution of the sentence, "in consequence of his age and revolutionary services." From this decision he ap- pealed to his countrymen to do him justice, and published a defence of his conduct, relative to the surrender of the north-western army. His memoirs of that campaign have had a most favorable effect upon impartial and disinterested men. [See also his life, published by Maria Campbell and Jas. F. Clarke, in 1848.] He m.
