In the 1850 United States Census, William Burr Hull, aged 4, appears in the household of his parents. His father is shown to be a farmer. His grandfather, who is also named William Burr Hull, is present as well.^[3]

The 1870 United States Census shows William, aged 23, to be living in Palmyra, Wayne County, Pennsylvania among many unrelated people in what was probably a hotel or boarding house.^[5] The scanned image of this document identifies his occupation as "Freight Agent".^[5]
