  • 17 Sept. 1668 - William Williams fined for not informing the town when he sheltered Naomi "in her time of sore distress." [7]
  • 28 Dec 1669 - brother-in-law Bickford and member of the Symonds household testified in her behalf; identified as "Naomi Hull" in the record. [8]

  • 27 June 1689 - John Church taken captive by French & Indigenous forces in the Dover/Cochecho Massacre. A "Naomi Il" (that's I - L) was among the captives forced to walk to Canada. Stackpole et al note "IL" could be a francophone spelling of "HULL." [11]
  • 1717-1727 - births of Naomi's grandchildren (see note about outlier birth). [12]

Naomi's marriage is often given as 1658, Barnstable, 9 years before she was tied to a post and whipped 15 times for not being married and having a child. Naomi moved out of Barnstable when she was about 3 and never lived there as an adult.

From the N.H. Court Files - Deposition about Naomi's childhood, given on 28 Dec 1669 by her brother-in-law John Bickford (half-sister Temperance's husband), then about 60, and John Simmins (Symonds), about age 52, who was likely a member of the Symonds household where Naomi was raised: "about four and twenty years agoe or there about naomy hulls father and mother they went for England: and left theyer Children to the wid wilderness: and Left them very young and wear not tutred [were not tutored] as they ought to have been." [13]

Children of Naomi Hull and Davy Daniel

History of the Town of Durham, NH (Oyster River Plantation) identifies 2 children of Davy Daniel and Naomi Hull as Joseph and John. [14] No birth or death dates are given for either son. They are listed in this order (Joseph first, then John), but note that John received a land grant 7 years before Joseph.

1. Joseph Daniel had a grant of land in 1701. "He married (1) Ann, widow of Thomas Chesley, as probate records show, and (2) Jane --, who was baptized with two children 11 Aug. 1717." See note about adult baptism below. Joseph's will is dated 11 Dec. 1737-30 Oct. 1745 and names his wife Jane and the following children:

  1. John (b. 25 May 1709); m. Hannah
  2. Anne (bapt. 11 Aug. 1717, then 12 years old) m Samuel Chesley
  3. Jonathan (bapt. 11 Aug. 1717; d c 1780); m. Elizabeth
  4. Joseph (bapt. 28 March 1725); m. Mehitable
  5. David (bapt. 3 Oct. 1725, then 12 years old)
  6. Abigail (bapt. 3 Oct. 1725, then 3 years old)
  7. Jacob (bapt. 27 July 1718) m. Charity Drew
  8. Mary (bapt. 5 Apr 1724)

2. John Daniel received a Durham land grant in 1694 and 40 acres 23 June 1701 for a lot beside Naomi Hull's brother-in-law, John Bickford. He married Sarah [--]. She was baptized 2 June 1723, 9 months before her first child was baptized. This is probably an indication that Sarah was a Quaker. Oyster River/Durham had a large Quaker community, and Friends don't practice any sacraments. If the couple married in a Congregational church, it's likely that she was expected to be baptized before she could participate in the sacrament of marriage. If the baptismal record is right (and the fact that it lines up with their child's baptism suggests it is), then this dates their marriage to about 2 June 1723. Children:

  1. Joseph (bapt 7 Mar 1724/5)
  2. Eliphalet (bapt 7 June 1724)
  3. Reuben (bapt 2 July 1727)
  4. Samuel (bapt 2 July 1727)
  5. Sarah (bapt 6 Aug 1717)

Note that there is a contemporaneous John Daniells of Sherborn, MA, who married a Sarah Durham. Joseph's son John's birth in 1709 is an outlier and might suggest that he was the son of widow Ann Chelsey. Otherwise, Naomi's grandchildren were born in the decade between 1717 and 1727.[15]

Hi Wikitree - I saw I made work for you when you moved my comment into the biography, since the comment had citations at the bottom and the bio has them in-line. My apologies. I added them. I'm glad you found this work useful. It's my first & last long post on Wikitree! I have full-time migraine & will leave typing code to the healthy-brained. Thanks for your interest in my grand-etc-aunt Naomi. I wish I'd known her story when I taught "The Scarlet Letter." Frankly, Hester Prynne lucked out in comparison. She wasn't whipped.
