About the Hull Family Association title image

The Hull Family Association (HFA) is a non-profit association, organized in October 1985 by a small group of Hull* descendants from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and Colorado to develop, preserve, and exchange information on Hull history and genealogy in the United States.

  • 23 May 2013 Reply from the HFA Genealogist: We are supplying three more generations for your Henry Hull’s lineage:
    • Abraham Hull, m. 10 May 1831, Adams Co., OH, Eliza Gilpin
    • John Hull Jr., m. ca. 1805–06, PA, Hannah Newkirk
    • John Hull Sr., m. Rebecca/Rebekah [_?_]

 Query #332 – Seeking info on Amanda (Hull) Nelson and Nels W. Nelson of Pike Co., IL and Saunders Co., NE: Amanda (Hull) Nelson m. Nels W. Nelson in Kinderhook, Pike Co., IL, and came to Nebraska to live, raised their children and died here. Also Amanda’s sister—I think her name was Emma Hull, who married a Oseager/Osceger—also lived and died in Valparaiso, NE, Saunders Co. I am looking for the book that my grandpa, Orville Roland Nelson, said had the Nelson side listed in it, with possible photos. I believe it was by Wm. Edgar Hull published in 1964, Hull Families in the United States.
   If there are Nelsons listed in this book, I would like to find a copy of book, or at least a copy of the pages relating to the Nelson family in NE. Thank you

  • 03 May 2013 Reply from the HFA Genealogist: We are familiar with the book that you list above and do not think that this is the correct name of the book you are seeking. We think that the Hulls may also have lived in Pilot Grove, Hancock Co., IL. Edgar Pleasant Hull could appear in this book. Does this book sound familiar: History of Pilot Grove Twp. & Burnside, Ill. by Fred P. Hull?
       We think that Amanda’s sister was probably “Ella” A. Hull who m. Adoinh Oeschger.
       If we had some dates, it would help to locate these people for you.

 Query #331 – Seeking info on my Grandmother Addie Belle Hull, b. 1908, Franklin Co., VT: Her parents were Fenno Warren Hull and Fanny Feltus Hull.

 Query #330 – Seeking info on David Hull, b. ca. 1839 or 1841, Prussia: I am researching David Hull supposedly born 1839 or 1841 in Prussia. All the information I have on him is here. I know he was on the 1850 census living in Bond County, Illinois with William Torrie Hull. I have no record of him before that. He may have been adopted, but I cannot find proof of that.
    The story passed down in our family is that he was on an orphan train and taken in by the Hull family. It was always said he was from Prussia. I have learned the orphan train did not start until 1854 and he was on the 1850 census with William Torrie Hull.
    Do you have any connection to this individual?
