The George Hull Line and the Reverend Joseph Hull Line

of Crewkerne, co. Somerset, England

These men were brothers and sons of Thomas Hull, the Younger. Thomas Hull, the Younger, was a son of Richard Hull and this is where the lineage ends, as the parish records terminate with this generation.

There is absolutely no evidence to assign this family to a lineage which includes Hugh Hull and Matthew Hull. These Hulls are an entirely separate family from the Crewkerne, England, Hulls, and are not known to be related.

The Reverend Joseph Hull Line

(Brother of George Hull)

Immigrated in 1635 from Crewkerne, co. Somerset, England

===biography===

Richard Hull was born in England in say ”1525. He married Alice _____ born in England in say ”1525. An unknown number of children were born, but included:

* i. Thomas Hull. He was born in England in 1552, and died in Crewkerne, county Somerset, England, in December, 1636.

The earliest known mention of this family was in 1548, living in Crewkerne, Someret, England, where Richard was a husbandman and a miller. He is mentioned in The Survey and Rental of the Somerset Chantries, 1548, as holding by copy, half a mill called Cont [sic] (Court) mill and rendering per annum 3s. 6d. The survey was made after the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, when the lands and property of the chantries were seized by the Crown during the reign of King Edward VI.

Richard's will refers to his ghostly father, Sir William Sherewell. This indicates that he had been baptized and that Sir William Sherewell was his godfather. The records of the family are found inSt. Bartholomew's Parish Church at Crewkerne beginning in the year 1558. Prior to the dissolution of the monestaries no written records were kept. It is logical to assume that the Hull family had been parishioners prior to that time and were faithful Roman Catholics until, in the time of King Henry VIII, the whole parish became the Church of England. Richard probably was baptised a Roman Catholic circa 1515, at St. Bartholomew's. Two generations later, some of Richard's descendants were Puritans in the Church of England and left for the Massachusetts Bay Colony in America.

Richard apparently had two wives. Very little is known of his first wife who may have been the mother to three or four of his children. He married second, circa 1550, Alice. Alice's will was dated 12 October 1587 and was proved in November 1587. Richard's will was dated 10 February 1558/59 and was proved in June 1559. Richard's will refers to Thomas, the elder, and also to Thomas [probably the younger]. St. Bartholomew's parish records also uses the term "Thomas, the elder." Alice's will does not refer to either Raynold of Thomas, the elder. This leads to the conclusion that they were sons by the first wife. The original wills of Richard and Alice were destroyed by fire at the Exeter Probate Registry.2

Richard made a will on 10 February 1558/59. Transcript of Richard's will, Archdeaconry of Taunton, book 3, fol. 38 (Transcript was made by Miss Olive Moger):
