History Of Hickory, Polk, Cedar, Dade And Barton Counties, 
Missouri, 1889.  Published by Goodspeed. Pages 906, 907

Mrs. Emily Hull, widow of the late J. W. Hull, was born in Logan County,
Ohio, in 1830, and was reared and married in her native State, the latter
event taking place in 1849.  Her husband was born in 1829, and was reared
to manhood in Lincoln County, Ohio, receiving his education in the common
schools.  After residing in different counties in their native State until
1869, they removed to Barton County, Mo., where Mr. Hull died on the 14th
of March, 1875, the result of hard service and imprisonment during the
Civil War.  He was one of the noble "boys in blue," and first served in
an artillery company, afterward joining the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth
Ohio National Guard, and was taken prisoner at North Mountain, Va., while
guarding a railroad station.  He lay for several months in Southern
prisons, being at Andersonville, and at Charleston, S. C., and in the 
latter place was kept between the Federal gunboats and the city, in order
to keep the Federal army from bombarding the bay.  He was finally paroled
at Goldsboro, S. C., and returned home, but never saw a well day after-
ward, owing to the privation he had to endure during his long term of
imprisonment.  His widow has received a back pension of $1,940, and 
receives twelve dollars a month besides.  Their children are as follows:
Sarah E., wife of G. W. Bowers; W. K., Philander, James E., Frank and 
Jennie.  Mrs. Hull is a daughter of Matthias and Elizabeth (Greene)
Williams, the former's birth occurring in Virginia, October 1, 1801.  
He was taken to Champaign County, Ohio, when four years old, and was
there reared to manhood, his marriage taking place in Logan County.  He
was a farmer, and died in Union County, in the fall of 1865.  His
parents, John and Sarah (Wheeler) Williams, were born, reared and married
in North Carolina, and afterward settled in Culpeper County, Va., and
finally went to Ohio, and took up their abode in Logan County.  J. W.
Hull was the son of William and Sarah (Martin) Hull, who were Virginians,
and early settlers of Ohio.  The father was born in 1800, and died in
Barton County, Mo., in 1875.  He was the father of nine children, and 
three of his sons served in the Federal army during the late war.
