TULL FAMILYby Edw. R. Tull

1956

PREFACE

When the suggestion was made that some record of my family should be made formy children, separated as they are from their paternal kin, it seemed so simple atfirst, but it soon became evident that I knew very little about my own people.

Thus began the request for actual data from one generation back to the next. True,it has required much persistent effort, and at times has met little sympathy. On theother hand there have been those that very graciously contributed their time inassembling information on particular families. Their efforts are sincerely appreciated.Without their assistance this compilation would not have been as complete as it is.

The task has been complicated by the lack of records due to the destruction onnearly all the Dobbs County records when the Lenoir County Court House burned onOctober 21, 1873. Many of the papers of the private collection of the late Mr. LovitHines, now in the North Carolina State Department of Archives, were legalinstruments of various members of the early Tull family in North Carolina, and havebeen of invaluable assistance.

The aim has been to record the facts as they are to be found in family Bibles, Wills,Court and Colonial Records and records furnished by members of the family, withoutresort to assumption, as a factual history of a family for the members of the family.When possible, an effort has been made to include a brief historical sketch forfurther identification and interest. The information received from a mass ofcorrespondence over a period of several years has been carefully checked foraccuracy. Yet errors will undoubtedly be found, for the data of the death of myGrandmother is not the same on the tombstone as is written in the family Bible, andeven the spelling differs!

It is hoped that this information may be of interest and value, and that some onemore capable and diligent may be able to complete those portions where data wasunavailable at this time.

INTRODUCTION

About 1664 Thomas and Richard Tull came from England and settled in Virginia anda short time later moved to Maryland. As this is written, two hundred and ninety oneyears later, the name is a familiar one along the Eastern shore of Maryland andVirginia. Branches of this family extended to other parts of the country when theearly pioneers ventured into the new territories.

The Eastern North Carolina branch of the family was established when Isaac Tullmoved his family from Baltimore, Maryland, to Dobbs County, North Carolina in1755. (This family is not to be confused with the name sometimes encountered inthe Western part of the State. The 1790 Federal Census listed Nicholas, Williamand Frederick Tull with families in Stokes County, North Carolina. However, theywere from a different family, although perhaps distantly related.)

Isaac Tull prospered in Dobbs County. Surviving records indicate that many acres ofland were acquired before he died in 1784. Although Isaac’s descendants arescattered throughout the country now, as is to be expected, Lenoir County, formedfrom Dobbs in 1791, is the seat of the North Carolina branch of the Tull family, andmany of his descendants are to be found there today.

In this account of the North Carolina branch of the Tull family, no effort has beenmade to trace the Tull ancestry beyond the first settler to this country. The followingdata compiled by Frances Houston Irwin, Genealogist, is from “John Porter Tull andHis Descendants 1796-1942” by James Porter Tull, printed by Morton B. Hadlock,Hartford, Conn.;

“The name of Tull was evolved from that of Maoltuile, the second son of Maolfeach,Prince of Ulster, Ireland, who flourished during the seventh century.

“Maoltuile was the first to Anglicize the name to Multully - Tully - meaning flood -Ulster. This spelling continued through the generations to Kyras Tully, who died inCounty Galway, Ireland, in 1637 ….. Kyras Tully married (1) Sheela, daughter ofThomas O’Kelly, their sons being MATHEW, Mark, Luke, John, Conner.

"A thorough research through the archives of Ireland reveals no further record ofMatthew Tully until he appears as Mathew Tull on the list of commissioned officersfrom Ireland in the army of Charles I, King of England. In September 1649, duringthe Cromwellian Protectorate, there was there was a general massacre of theofficers of the forty-four Companies of Charles I in Ireland, and as the only recordmade afterward of Matthew Tully-Tull was that his confiscated estates were sold atChichester House in Dublin, circa 1650-1651, he was evidently among the officersslain.

THOMAS TULL and his brother Richard came to Virginia from England about 1664.According to the Virginia records Thomas Tull, son of Thomas Tull, Senior ofBerkshire, England, patented land on June 10, 1664 in what later becameNorthampton County, Virginia. Two days later Richard Tull patented land there onJune 12, 1664. This was just fifty seven years after the establishment of the firstpermanent English Colony at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. (Cavaliers and Pioneersof VA.)

They did not remain in Virginia long for the Maryland records state that they “were inAnnemessex Section in 1666”, and are listed in Somerset County, Maryland as firstsettlers in 1661-1666. On November 28, 1689 they signed the address ofInhabitants of Somerset County, pledging loyalty to William and Mary and theProtestant religion.

Richard Tull married Martha Rhodes in 1671 and their children were; Rachel 1672,Richard 1675, George 1677, John 1681, William 1684, Benjamin 1686, Elizabeth1688, Mary 1690, Sarah 1694, and Richard 1695. John Rhodes sold land toRichard and Thomas Tull in 1671. Land was called “Salisbury” and was in Maryland.

Thomas Tull married Mary Minshall. “The first Banns of Matrimony were publishedfor Thomas Tull of Annamessicke and Mary Minshall of Morunsco” on September 4,1666 when the first court sat for Somerset County, and they were married onOctober 1666. They had four children. Thomas died after March 8, 1697 as heserved on the Grand Jury for Somerset County on that date. (Old Somerset on E.S.of MD.) Their children:

1. . i Thomas Tull born 1668 married Sarahii Richard Tull born 1670iii John Tull born 1674 married Esther Benton. This family has been

recorded in “John Porter Tull and His Descendants 1796-1942” byJames Porter Tull, printed by Morton B. Hadlock, Hartford, Conn.

iv Mary Tull born 1677.

1. Thomas Tull, first son of Thomas and Mary (Minshall) Tull, was born in 1668 inSomerset County, Maryland. Apparently, on becoming of age, young Thomas Tulldecided to try out the Carolina Territory, and leaving his family in Somerset County,Maryland, he moved into Albemarle County, North Carolina. At the General Court ofAlbemarle County, N.C., on September 28, 1694, “Thomas Tull shewing that in yeyear 1689 he the said Thomas Tull obtained a nonsuite against Jno Gibbs esq forwhich noe satisfaction hath hitherto been made for his costs and chargestherein….etc” (Colonial Records of North Carolina) There is a Tull’s Creek and aTull’s Swamp in Currituck County which was formed from Albemarle County.However, he did not remain in North Carolina but moved back to Maryland where hedied. His will, dated November 26, 1727 and probated January 4, 1728 (Abstractsof Wills of Somerset County, Maryland) mentioned; Sarah Tull, widow. Son,Thomas, is to care for William and Isaac Tull, and his two youngest sisters, Esther

5

and Grace until they are of age. Land of John Tull is to be given to Samuel Tull.Sons, William, Isaac and Samuel (William and Isaac not yet 18) Daughters, Sarah,Rachel, Esther, Grace and Mary.

"In England, the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury give the wills in1656 of John Tull, Sen. and Thomas Tull, Sen., both of Berkshire, There is no furtherrecord of Thomas Tull, Senior of Thomas Tull, Jun., but the highest Irish authoritiesstates, 'The ancient Irish Proprietors and their children who survived the Cromwelliandevastation were scattered from one end of the World to the other, in England,Scotland and the great Western Republic’-

"In America, the Virginia archives state that Thomas and Richard Tullpatented land in 1664”.

Note: As to the way some of the old dates were written:

The first calendar was the Jewish calendar, which being, a lunar calendar hadthirteen months. This was followed by the Julian calendar of twelve months or 365¼ days, by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. It was changed in A.D. 1582 to the presentGregorian Calendar by Pope Gregory XIII, but was not adopted by the Englishspeaking countries until 1752. When finally adopted the New Year was changedfrom Enunciation Day - March 25 - to January 1, 1752, but the dates were then inerror by eleven days.

Therefore, George Washington’s birthday recorded in the family Bible as February11 when corrected became February 22. Dates between January 1 and March 25on some old records may be found as - February 24, 1743/4, that is 1744 by ourpresent Gregorian calendar.

Children of Thomas and Sarah Tull were:i Thomas Tullii Samuel Tulliii Sarah Tulliv Rachel Tullv Mary Tullvi William Tull

2 vii Isaac Tull born December 16, 1718 married Winifred Caldwell.viii Esther Tullix Grace Tull

2 Isaac Tull, son of Thomas Tull (#1) and his wife, Sarah, was born December16, 1718 and died in 1784 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He was just nine yearsold when his father died and under the charge of his older brother, Thomas, wassoon apprenticed with his brother William, as was then customary. In the Will of

6

Godfrey Spragle, dated December 14, 1737 (Wills of Somerset County, Maryland,page 228) “William and Isaac Tull, apprentices of said Spragle, are given theirfreedom”. Six years later at the age of twenty five, he married on February 24,1743/4 (see note on dates) Winifred Caldwell was born October 25, 1720 atBaltimore, Maryland and died May 18, 1806 in Lenoir County, North Carolina. Theymoved from Baltimore to North Carolina in 1755 and settled between Nuce River andBriary Branch” near what is now Kinston, North Carolina. Space does not permitcopies of some of the interesting deeds written in their colorful legal terms of theperiod when North Carolina was being settled by these venturesome pioneers.

The 1790 Federal Census lists only 915 families in Dobbs County which was formedfrom Johnston County by an Act of the General Assembly in 1758, and until 1779included the territory now embraced by Wayne, Greene and Lenoir. Wayne wascreated from Dobbs in 1779, and the remainder divided into Lenoir and Glasgow in1791. Glasgow became Greene in 1799.

Isaac Tull was sixty six years old when he died in 1784 and was buried on hisplantation in Dobbs County, North Carolina, in the vicinity of the present CaswellTraining School. Winifred, his wife lived to be eighty six when she died on May 19,1806. Her own list of her children is among the papers of the Lovit Hines LenoirCounty papers, page 307, dated January 24 Day 1762, in the North Carolina StateDepartment of Archives, Raleigh, N.C. The children of Isaac and Winifred (Caldwell)Tull were:

3 i John Tull born October ye 15 Day 1744ii Charles Tull was born October 19, 1746 and Died ye 18th of June 1750.iii Elizabeth Tull was born Febr ye 6, 1748/9. (She was born in Baltimore,

Maryland, and moved to North Carolina with her family when she wasseven years old. It is believed that Elizabeth married either Hugh Ward,James Hutchins or Edward Hutchins, and that her sisters, Ann andSarah, were wives of the other two.This opinion is based on the following contract dated February 20, 1784(Lovit -Hines papers, p 140 N.C. Department of Archives); “Know all menby these presents we Charles Tull, William Tull and Hugh Ward, JamesHutchins and Edward Hutchins all of County and State of North Carolinaare held and firmly bound unto John Tull, Executor of Isaac Tull in thesum of two hundred pounds lawful money of this State…etc”.

iv Ann Tull was born May 23, 1751. (See note under iii above)4 v Charles Tull was born December 2, 1753. He married Sarah Hardy.5 vi William Tull was born April 12, 1756

vii Isaac Tull was born November 18, 1758. No further reference has beenfound. It is believed he died young.

viii Sarah Tull was born December 6, 1761 in Dobbs Co., N.C. (See noteunder iii above)

3 John Tull, son of Isaac Tull (#2) and his wife, Winifred Caldwell, was bornOctober 15, 1744 in Baltimore, Maryland, and died on September 20, 1820 in LenoirCounty, North Carolina. (Account in RALEIGH REGISTER October 27, 1820. Hemarried on September 12, 1779 Elizabeth Cannon who died on December 30, 1820.He was listed among those drafted in Capt. Kennedy’s Company of Militia of DobbsCounty, July 26, 1777. (Roster of Soldiers from N.C. in American Revolution. N.C.Dept. of Archives.) He expanded the holdings inherited from his father and becameone of the largest property owners of the state. His will follows:

Much of the information on this family has been derived from Census records and afew deeds in the Lovit Hines Collection in the N. C. State Dept. of Archives. The onlydescendants known to the present generation were those of William Tull, Jr. and thelast of those died in 1926. Undoubtedly, some Tulls found listed in Lenoir CountyCensus and other records were members of this family, but their connections areuncertain and it is not known what became of them.
