Notes for: Tristram HULL

Hull was a mariner, owned a ship named The Catch, was part owner of the bark Hopewell, and did a lot of trade with the West Indies. In 1643 he was living in Yarmouth, where he served in the local militia, but by 1648 he had moved with his family to the neighboring town of Barnstable, both within the Plymouth Colony. He was active in public affairs in that town, but in the final several years of his life he sympathized with the Quakers, and came into conflict with town and Plymouth Colony authorities because of this. His will was dated 30 Dec 1666 and proved on 12 March following, naming his five living children and wife Blanche.
