List of Hull Company Passengers

The following is paraphrased from The Exodus of Reverend Joseph Hull at http://www.metacirque.com/laurencecook/genes/bicknell/bicknell3.html.

The Reverend Joseph Hull was born at Crewkerne, Somerset in 1594 to Thomas Hull and Joanna Peson Hull. He graduated from St. Mary Hall, Oxford in 1614. He was ordained by the Bishop of Exeter in 1619, serving as the teacher, curate and minister of Colyton, Devonshire for three years. He was appointed Rector for North Leigh, Devonshire in 1621 where he served until 1632. The first record of Hull's conflict with the Church of England is his association with the Reverend John Wareham who was accused of stating that certain church practices were undesirable. He was suspended from his parish and left the diocese to settle at St. Sidwell's in Exeter on November 13, 1627. Hull had probably already gathered at least part of his company of emigrants, which included the Bicknells, the Lovells (probably related to Zachary's wife, Agnis Lovell), and Richard Porter (whose yet to be born daughter, Mary, would wed Zachary's son John) and was preparing, or prepared, to leave for New England when he was cited for illegal preaching in January 1635.

In 1870 Mr. H. G. Somerby discovered a list of the Hull passengers and sent it to Mr. William L. Appleton of Boston, with the following letter:

LONDON, September, 1870. My DEAR MR. APPLETON: - Amongst a bundle of miscellaneous manuscripts just turned up in the Public Record Officer I find with other documents relating to New England, the following list of passengers which I have the pleasure of sending to you for publication in the Register. I remain, yours very truly, H. G. SOMERBY.

Mr. Appleton's list was published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XXV, pages 13, 14 and 15, January, 1871.

JOHN PORTER,

There is some dispute over the name of the ship.

Mr. H. G. Somerby's 1870 list of the Hull passengers does not name the ship. Many internet sources list the Mary Gould (aka Marygold, Marygould and other similar spellings. Others list The Blessing of Ipswich.

• The Mary Gould can be ruled out as it departed Weymouth 30 March 1635 for New England with, Mr. Edward Cuttance, Master. The ship in question departed Weymouth, England March 20 1635 and was at sea until landing at Boston July 8.^[2]

• Credence must go to The Blessing of Ipswich, from note 01 of Jonathan Davidson's correspondence October 2, 2002 to the New England Historic Genealogical Society regarding passenger Ford (servant of Kingman)
  
  

01. John Ford Father of Andrew Ford was A Bond Servant to Henry Kingman Emigrated on 20 March 1636 on the Ship: The Blessing of Ipswich England.^[3]
