Notes for: Joseph HULL

After his first wife Joanna (Coffin's) death, he married secondly Agnes Hunt, 1633 St. Cuthbert’s, Wells, Somerset.
He gathered together the "Hull" party to leave England, seeking religious freedom. The Reverend Hull led a group of 106 people to Massachusetts. This group consisted of about 20 families, their servants, he and his second wife Agnes, his seven children, and their three servants. They first went to Weymouth, but were granted the right to settle at Wessaguscus, which name they changed to Weymouth. Reverend Hull lived in several areas of Massachusetts: Hingham, Barnstable, and Yarmouth. He was then accepted as the minister of York, Maine. Reverend Hull returned to England in 1645, leaving his oldest children behind, but in May of 1662 he was once again removed from his English parish and returned to New England. In 1662, he became minister at Durham, New Hanpshire. Eventually, he moved to what is now called "Appledore Island" (name changed from Hog Island, name changed from Farm Island), the primary island in the Isles of Shoals that is now part of York County, Maine. Reverend Hull lived there until his death.
