  • Notes 
    • From the Bull Family History
      Thomas (called "Big Tommy"), who lived for the greater part of his life on the town line between Hallowell and Hillier, near a country church which still bears the family name of
      "Bowerman's Church." In keeping with the family proclivity for magnificent visions, Thomas offered to "give the land, grade the road, and furnish the ties" for a section of railroad, as an
      inducement for the Grand Trunk Railway to be built through Prince Edward. Though a great undertaking, it would have been a profitable investment, and showed greater speculative foresight
      than many of his followers. He mar. (1st) Jemima Platt, who died without issue, then (2nd) Mary Platt, sister of Jemima and widow of George Young.
