• Notes

  m1 —?— m2 by 1635 Agnes ____ —— On 17 February 1635, Rev. Hull was expelled from the Church of England.  Rev. Joseph Hull, who settled first in Weymouth in 1635, but having run up again the antagonism of the Boston Puritanical Party, removed with his followers in 1639 first to Plymouth Colony (Barnstable), then to Maine (York). —— REF GDMNH. He arrived at Boston Massachusetts 5 May 1635 with his wife and 7 children, and 3 servants. His wife Agnes was 25 when they arrived, so at least some of the children were by a previous marriage. The first child which is certainly a child of Agnes is Hopewell. b. 25 Apr 1596, Crewkerne, Somersetshire, Eng. r. 1635, Wessaguscus, Massachusetts r. 1636, Hingham, Massachusetts r. 1639, Barnstable, Massachusetts r. 1641, Yarmouth, Massachusetts r. 1643, York, Maine r. 1652, Launceston, Cornwall, Eng. r. 1662, Oyster River, New Hampshire d. 19 Nov 1665 —— He is the well documented 1614 graduate of St Mary's Hall, Oxford. Following graduation he was ordained a clergyman in Northleigh, Exeter, England. He soon fell out with the authority and he resigned. In 1635, he along with 105 others sailed for New England and formed what is known as Hull's colony. The Hull Colony consisting of Rev. Hull and 21 families settled at Wessaguscus, Massachussets Bay Colony which was later rechristened Waymouth, a full-fledged town. Rev. Hull was a magistrate and member of the General Court of Massachussets Bay Colony. He was, however, at odds with the Puritans and found he had to move. He moved to the old colony of Plymouth and established the town of Barnstable. The rock still stands in the middle of the highway from which he preached. He soon found he was again at odds with the local Puritans and moved back to England where he was Rector at St. Burien in Cornwall near Land's End. His children had remained in the colonies and married. He later returned to his old parish in York, Maine where he died. [1]
