• Notes

  B. A., St. Mary's Hall, Oxford University, 1614. Ordained 1619. Rector of Northleigh, Devon, 1621-32; curate of Broadway, Somerset, 1633-34. Emigrated in 1635, with his second wife Agnes and his children Joan, Joseph, Tristram, Elizabeth, Temperance, Grissell, and Dorothy, plus their servants Judith French and John Wood, on the Marygould. First at Weymouth, then Hingham by 1638, Barnstable 1639, Yarmouth 1641, York 1643, Oyster River, then the Isles of Shoals. He returned to England by 1648 and was back in New England soon after 1662, having been ejected from his parish of St. Buryan, Cornwall. A good brief bio: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sam/hull/joseph.html And a very well-done three-part article, putting his eventful life into its historical context: http://ascendingthestairs.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/neither-fish-nor-fowl-rev-joseph-hull-part-i/ http://ascendingthestairs.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/reverend-hull-part-ii-stranger-in-a-strange-land/ http://ascendingthestairs.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/rev-hull-part-3-integrity-comes-with-a-price-1643-1665/ From Wikipedia (accessed 16 May 2021): The Reverend Joseph Hull [...] led a company of 106 which sailed from England to Massachusetts in 1635 and was known as the Hull Colony. Hull was born in Crewkerne, Somerset, and graduated from Oxford in 1614. He was ordained in 1619, and served as teacher, curate and minister of Colyton, Devonshire. He became disaffected from the Church of England, and was expelled from the church in 1635. He led his congregation to what is now Weymouth, Massachusetts. Apparently his "liberal views" led to his dismissal from his parish, and he moved to Hingham, where he served as its representative in the General Court (Massachusetts legislature). He was the political and religious opponent of Gov. John Winthrop, with the "very contentious" Hull apparently siding more with the Anglicans than the Puritan governor. Winthrop eventually expelled Hull from the colony. Hull moved to the Plymouth Colony, and then to Barnstable. A memorial tablet was dedicated there in 1939 (the 300th anniversary of the town's founding) marking the site of his home there, and the rock from which he preached still stands in the middle of the highway there. Hull came into disfavor in the Plymouth Colony. He moved to Yarmouth, Massachusetts, and later to Accominticus (present-day York, Maine), becoming minister there. However, a Puritan minister was sent there to replace him, and he returned to England. He remained there for a decade, when he was ejected from the parish. He returned to America, settling at the Isles of Shoals in New Hampshire, where he preached until his death in 1665. ===== Rev.
