Notes:

From the Bull Family History:
NOTE. II. Mary Christy (widow of Josiah) and the three children by second marriage, came in 1817.
They were brought by her brother William and his wife Ruth (Bull) Christy, in a covered lumber waggon.
William had gone down to attend yearly meeting, no doubt prepared to bring back with him his sister Mary and her children.
It will be seen that William married Riuth Bull - daughter of Josiah, while Mary Christy married Ruth's father Josiah.
On the return journey they reached the house of Cory Spencer (Picton) where they had a mid-day dinner, thence
proceeding to the bush farm of William Christy, about seven miles west.
In 1886 "Aunt Lizzie Wallace" (see Spencers) said she was a school-girl when the Christys and Bulls came in 1817;
and that when she came home for dinnor from the school-house, which stood on the hill overlooking the Bay, behind the
residence of Mr. H. S. Wilcocks (1901), she found the arrivals at dinner at her father's.
It is not known when the other members of the Bull family came; whether they all came at the same time or separately; but there is no doubt that they came
about 1802, as John was mar. in Adolphustown in 1803 (according to the McDowell Reg.).

Notes:

The family resided in Dutchess County, New York, not far from the present city of Poughkeepsie, New York, and close to the Hudson River.
During the War of Independence, two brothers were taken prisoners and sent to the City of New York, unknown to the rest of the family.
The treatment of Quaker non-combatants in New England was not less severe than that meted out to their co-religionists in Pennsylvania, as one of the Bull
brothers died from violence and privation, while the other survived long enough to be rescued by his relations, and died soon after.
His son Josiah's family settled in Hallowell Township in Prince Edward County.
His son George's family settled near Colborne in Northumberland County.

Josiah married Ruth TRIPP in 1737. Ruth (daughter of John TRIPP and Rebecca SPOONER) was born on 4 Apr 1720 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, USA; died in Oct 1796 in Dutchess County, New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
