Notes for Captain Tristram HULL
"Able to bear arms" in 1643 in Yarmouth.
The “Hull Family History” is credited with the account that he was active in the trade with the West Indies, owning a ship called The Catch and another called the Hopewell. Barnstable records show a history of activity on juries and the Assembly committe, including an appointment concerning the town charter. He als took a leading part in the purchase of town lands from the Indians, served one year as constable, and during the last six years of his life was a leading member of the town board of selectmen. He was a Quaker sympathizer, which got him fined on more than one occasion. (http://the-merritts.com/Ancestor/I1952.html)

Notes for Blanche (Hull)
Blanche’s second marriage was to Capt. William Hedge, who was old enough to be her father and from whom she soon separated. Apparently she did not have the best reputation in the community. One record says that "the change in her residence (upon her marriage to Hedge) did not improve her manners. Capt. Hedge cut her off with a shilling in his will, full eleven pence more than she deserved."
