"John Bull, eldest child, and only son, of Isaac Bull and his 1st wife,Mary, was called a miller in North Kingston, Rhode Island. He and hiswife Mary Closson had ten children, of whom one, Ruth, may have diedyoung as no further record of her has been found.

Six of their sons, (all excepting John) moved into New York Colony aboutthe same time, some settling in Dutchess County. Mary's brother, NathanClosson, had migrated to Dutchess County so this may have influenced thesix young Bull brothers to "go west" and eventually settle there. Theyhad large families which later helped to colonize the wilderness of otherparts of New York in the north and west. Some went to Vermont, thesouthern part of which was New York at that time, During and following
the Revolutionary War, some of their descendants went up into Quebec andsome eventually migrated westerly across Canada.
