Query #388 – Emiline Hull 1832 Sampler; Seeking a Relative: I am a Fairman/Botsford descendant. Apparently there are collateral Hulls and Thompsons. Somewhere this Emiline Hull sampler entered my family and has come down to me. I have been told there were connections in Chicago in the mid-1800s into the mid-1900s with Fairman/Morehouse/Sherman collaterals.
   I think it’s only right and proper to return this old sampler to a lineal descendant if there are any who would cherish and protect it.
   If no such person is located my family will certainly continue to take good care of it, especially if we turn out to be the closest interested collaterals. I have not been able to find this Emiline with Google. Perhaps you can find a genealogical trace. We would definitely be interested in any information you would wish to share with us.
   Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

• 20 May 2015 Reply from the HFA Genealogist: We have copies of the above Hull-Delaney Family History that you mentioned. We now know that a lot of the ancestral information in the 1984 book, listed on p. 1, and also in the 1990 edition on pp. 1–3, is incorrect. Since you have now joined the HFA, we will attempt to give you the correct information when you send us your Hull lineage. This is a line that I have been working on for 40 years and it intersects my own Hull lineage at a certain point.

 Query #379 – Ancestry of Hope Hull who m. Caleb Winget, ca. 1717, probably in NJ: My main question is the true ancestry of Hope Hull who married Caleb Winget, 1717 or before, probably in NJ. According to books by my 3rd cousin, Carmen Miesen Bussard, The Shellabarger Family... and Martin Shellabarger..., Hope Hull was daughter of Rueben Hull (ca. 1644–will: 1689) and Hannah Fernside but other refs show no such daughter.

• 29 Apr 2015 Reply from the HFA Genealogist: We do have a record that Hope Hull m. Caleb Wingate/Winget, but this comes from a very unreliable source: Orra Eugene Monnette, who contributed much information to the 1913 publication The Hull Family in America. For various reasons, we do not believe that Monnette was correct in assigning a daughter Hope to Reuben Hull. He gives no source and no full birth date for Hope, while the other Hull children all have full birthdates. Therefore, we would recommend that you try to find a more documented reference for this information.

 Query #377 – Henry Hull m. Hannah Harness, German line: I have documents and records for my ancestry up to and including Henry Hull and Hannah Harness, but I need correction or clarification on Peter Hull (1730–1818) and his father Peter Thomas Hull (1706–1776). Peter Thomas Hull did not marry S.M. Diefenbach until 1750. Am I missing a generation, or is Peter the son of PT Hohl/Holl/Hull and his first wife?

• 23 Mar 2015 Reply from the HFA Genealogist: To answer your issue about the dates for Peter Hull, the son of Peter Thomas Hull, have you read or ordered the Journal article which we published on this Peter Thomas Hull and his children? It appeared in our Summer 1998 Hull Family Association Journal. If you haven’t seen that, I urge you to order that Journal. It is available at our cost. It explains a lot of the problems surrounding the family of Peter Thomas Hull, including dates for both him and his children.
     Peter Hull, son of Peter Thomas Hull:
     We estimate 1752–1755 as a possible birth date, based on estimated age when Peter received his first land patent and had his first child. Peter Hull [Jr.’s.] oldest child appears to be Henry, born 1780, but birth years are not known for Susannah, Wm. P., nor Elizabeth; therefore, this estimation is subject to revision. [Note: It has been frequently stated in various printed publications that Peter Hull [Jr.] was born in Germany, the son of the first wife of Peter Thomas Hull, and came with his father to Pennsylvania. We do not have a firm birth date for Peter Hull [Jr.], estimated birth dates have ranged from 1730 to 1752, all without reliable verification. If Peter Jr. were born ca. 1752–1755, he would not have been born in Germany, nor have been a son of the first wife, since his father, Peter Thomas Hull, immigrated in 1741 and married his second wife Susanna Margaretha Tieffenbachin (Dieffenbach), in 1750.]
     Therefore, we are not showing the son Peter to have been born in 1730. We think it was much later, but we have no firm date from original records, so we really prefer to not give him a birth date at all.
     Also if you are using Internet info, chances are that you are seeing a lot of sons of PTH who were not his sons at all. My article explains all of this in some detail.

• 02 Mar 2015 Reply from the HFA Genealogist: First I can reply to certain aspects of this lineage, since it is part of my own line and I’ve been studying this line for about 40 years. I am also a Wright descendant.
     No, Martha (Glover) Hull’s line does not go back to a Mayflower lineage. This is only one of the numerous errors on this line. Please pay no attention to what can be found on the Internet on this line, because much of it is also wrong in the earlier generations preceding Samuel Hull and Martha Glover.
     If you join the Hull Family Association we will be very happy to help you in many ways on this line.

 Query #375 – Wish Info on Gt Grandparents Lewis Hull and Claudia Gertrude Modglin: I am in the process of joining the association. My Grandmother Helen Loretta Hull, b. 11 Aug 1914; d. 11 Feb 1999, m. William H Harbison, b. 1905; d. 1977. Grandma Helen told us her parents were Lewis Hull and Claudia Gertrude Modglin. Lewis's parents were Peter and Mary. Gertie’s father was Moss Modglin. I have found quite a bit of genealogy information on the Internet, but I’m not sure how much if any of the sources I have found are verified to be accurate. After finding and trading emails with Phyllis, I learned of the Hull Family Association, and I would like to benefit from your professional research to learn more accurately of my family’s genealogy and history. I’m including below on this [Member Lineage] form the family history that was passed down directly from my grandmother Helen Hull. Thank you!

 Query #371: Author (Arthur?) and William Hull, Springdale, Newfoundland, Canada: I am looking for descendants of Author (Arthur?) and William Hull, of Springdale, Newfoundland Canada. I own a piece of property in Springdale, Newfoundland, that borders a piece titled to be owned by Author (Arthur?) and William Hull. William Wells Hull was born in July 1856 in Little Bay Islands, Newfoundland. William married Sophie Anstey, born 1860 in Twillingate, Newfoundland. I have traced some of their family tree and believe they were married in Lewisport, Newfoundland in 1876 and had 11 children, one of which was John Stanley Hull, born Jan 25, 1888. John Stanley Hull had a son named Jack Hull who uses the email: [whithheld]. I believe Jack Hull is a grandson to William Hull. I have emailed Jack several times but with no luck; it seems the email address is no longer valid. Any info on either of the above mentioned men would greatly be appreciated.
