William Hull's Company, in the Regi- ment commanded by Col. Charles Webb, of Connecticut Troops, in the service of the United States; that he served for the period of one year and was discharged at Morris- town, N. J., in 1776; that he had a wife, Lydia, and a daughter and a granddaughter, who resided with him in Spafford.
