Joseph Hulls of Hing-ham, was freeman in 1638; representative to Gen'l Assembly of Mass., in 1638-39. The town of Hull, Mass., is said to have been named after him. Robert Hulls, of Boston, was freeman in 1637; he died in 1666; his son John, was freeman in 1649; he was a goldsmith and a highly respected citizen of Boston; his children all died except Hannah, who married Judge Samuel Sewall, Chief Justice of the Province, in 1676.
