Dedication  
To the Hull Family in America, Descendants of worthy and noble sires, whose distinguished careers wherever their names are emblazoned on History's Page reflect not only ability and achievement, but sturdy characteristics of noble manhood and womanhood.  

A Devonshire, England family there established by the first now positively known of this pedigree. 

Thomas Hull, (Wife, Joane Peson) of Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England whose elder son, William Hull, was vicar of Colyton in Devonshire. Of a large family, a younger brother of the latter, Rev. Joseph Hull 1595 - 1665, was the noted Quaker preacher and immigrant settler of New England, 1635. He had several brothers, certainly that George Hull, 1590-1659 of Dorchester, Mass. and Windsor, Conn. 1636; also a recorded brother, John Hull, and others of the family. Robert Hull, father of the well-known mint man of Boston, John Hull, may have been identical with the generation and that John Hull, first in Mass., 1632, who died at Newbury, 1670, was eligible to be the first approved brother of George and Joseph Hull (above) and Richard Hull of New Haven, Conn., 1599-1662, very probably belonged to the same family as he was at Dorchester and Boston, first, with the others.  

Rev. Joseph Hull became a settler of Piscataway, New Hampshire and died on the Isles of Shoals, where the sons or brothers of Captain Robert Seeley lived. The sons of the former, Captain Benjamin Hull, Hopewell Hull and Samuel Hull, with two or three sisters, migrated 1664-6 and became First Settlers of Piscataway and Woodbridge, New Jersey. They and their families were prominent in the early history of the new settlements 1664-1714, and their descendants, subsequently figured in pertinent historical evaluation.  

Of the First Settlers of Piscataway and Woodbridge, three noteable members of this family were prominent in the inauguration of the two communities, Piscataway and Woodbridge:  

Captain Benjamin Hull (b.1639; d.1713)

Hopewell Hull (b. 1636; d.1693) 

Samuel Hull (b.ca. 1648; d.ca.1720), all three brothers
