He married Martha Thompson, daughter of Archibald and Rebecca (Bryson) Thompson - parents of Rebecca, Elizabeth and Mary Bull

His was living in Norriton, Philadelphia County (but soon to be Montgomery County) on 10 Feb 1783 and probated on 8 Nov 1787 in recently created Montgomery County. (daughters inherited - wife Martha already deceased). He died sometime in 1787. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

There is a Find a Grave record suggesting that he is buried at Bull Hill Cemetery (no headstone photo) in Perry County, Pennsylvania. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/111910425. . This seems unlikely. A list of people buried there does not include him. ^[4] More evidence would be needed before his burial there could be accepted.
