From the grave stone of DR John Hull
To induce DR Hull to come to Wallingford the inhabitants at a town meeting voted him a tract of land over one mile square.

Dr John Hull moved to Strafford CT and in 1668 he went to Pawgassett (now Derby CT) and it is supposed that he was one of the first settlers of that town which he named Derby for his father's old home in England. He moved to Wallingford in 1687. He built the first corn-flour mill in Wallingford.

Commemorative Biographical Record-Wallingford Public Library

Linda Hull, the wife of David Brooks, traced her ancestry to Richard Hull, a native of Derbyshire England, who came to America with the first settlers, and was made a freeman in Dorchester Mass in 1634.

About 1637 he removed to New Haven, and took the oath of fidelity. He was one of the founders of the New Haven Colony and lived in this county on what is now called Chapel Street. He was a god fearing man and a good citizen, but not a puritan and on that account came to New Haven, where he died in September 1662. He had two sons - John and Joseph and one daughter.
