Biography

Jasper Tull was born in Appalachia, in Alabama.

Jasper Tull was a Tennessean.

Jasper Newton Tull was born on 23 Feb 1842 in Alabama, United States, son of Elizabeth Tull (~1815 - >1886).

His siblings were:

1. William Morgan Tull (1835 - 1905)
2. Henry Jackson Tull (1840 - 1918)
3. Nancy A. (Tull) Crangle (1845 - 1890)
4. Noble Dennis Tull (1847 - 1923)

Jasper married Frankie Morton (1837 - 1884) on 13 Jan 1870 in McNairy County, Tennessee. Their children were:

1. James Dennis Tull (1870 - 1951)
2. Charles Henry Tull (1872 - 1948)
3. Robert Bruce Tull (1873 - 1959)
4. Jasper Orian Tull (1876 - 1949)
5. Joseph Newton Tull (1878 - 1940)
6. Franklin Jackson Tull (1881 - 1967).

Jasper died on 9 May 1928 in Chester County, Tennessee aged 86. He is buried in Mt. Gilead Cemetery, McNairy County.

Jasper was in the 1850 census, in Hardeman County, Tennessee. ^[1]

1860 U. S. Federal Census, District 11, Hardeman County, Tennessee.^[2]

W M Tull 25 (female), born Alabama (Probably William Morgan, male)

Elizabeth Tull 45, born Alabama

Jackson Tull 19, born Alabama

Jasper Tull 17, Born Alabama

Nancy Tull 15, born Mississippi

Daniel Tull 12, born Mississippi (should be Dennis)

Would like to know who his father is, with proof. I would also like to know his mother's maiden name. I think she is Elizabeth Tull, daughter of Mary Tull, who was possibly a RUFF. Other history gives her name as NOBLE. There is no proof for either name.

In an interview with George Washington Tull, he gave his mother's name as RUFF, and in a Newspaper advertisement: Date: 1835-11-26; Paper: Georgia Telegraph, Legal Advertisement, the guardian of Mary Tull's illegitimate children was Allen Ruff.

Oral family history was Jasper Newton Tull was born near Jasper, Alabama (Walker County). The newspaper advertisement gives credence to this as it originated in Walker County, Alabama.

Walker County, Alabama is one of those counties that have lost its courthouse and local records several times. Records such as marriage, deeds, chancery, probate are not available for the 1835-1850 time frame.

Jasper is living with his wife and children in McNairy County, Tennessee in 1880. ^[3]

Jasper Newton Tull died on 9 May 1928 and is buried at Mt. Gilead Cemetery, in McNairy County, Tennessee.^[4]

DNA

Jasper Newton and Frankie Morton Tull have a lot of descendants who have tested their autosomal DNA at various testing companies. I will not record any of them here due to privacy concerns.

One male descendant that I am aware of has tested his y-DNA at FTDNA. His results indicate that TULL is most likely not our original surname or there has been a non-parental event somewhere back in time. The surname CHRISTIAN is the most likely name based on the matches so far. It would be nice to have additional male-to-male descendants to test as well as male-to-male descendants of his brothers.
