    Notes:

    Name:
    "The Hull Family in America":....was married Nov. 19, 1653, to Rebecca Jones, 16--1696, daughter of Rev, John Jones and his wife Sarah.

    Mr. Jone was born in Wales and ordained in England. He came to America on the ship "Defence" in 1635, and on April 6, 1637, was reordained and made pastor of the church at Concord, Mass. In September, 1644, he migrated with a considerable number of his Concord parishioners to Fairfield, Conn., and became the first pastor of the church at that place. When, in 1653, Cornelius Hull was married to the daughter of pastor Jones the town authorities of Fairfield immediately granted him a three acre town lot, to which his father added an adjoining or near by tract, containing 40 acres. Like his honored father he was a surveyor as well as husbandman, and early in his married life began adding to his landed estate, and was soon recognized as a man of substance and a prominent citizen. He was chosen deputy to the General Court in 1656, 1660, 1662 and 1667. In 1661 he was appointed Lieutenant for Fairfield County, and in 1675 was made Lieutenant of "The Hon. Major Threat's Life Guards," the 'crack corps" of the Connecticut soldiery of that period.....
