Biographical History
William Hull (1753-1825) was a lawyer and a soldier. He served in the Revolutionary War and afterwards in the U.S. Army where he attained the rank of Brigadier-General. In 1805 he was appointed Governor of the Michigan Territory. In 1812 he was court-martialed and cashiered from the Army because of the failure of his campaign into Canada against the British. Hull succeeded William Wetmore as a trustee of the New England Mississippi Land Company, one of the "Yazoo" companies. The Yazoo companies were formed in 1789 and 1795 to purchase from Georgia a part of its western territory. One of these companies, the Georgia Mississippi Company, sold a large portion of its lands to the New England Mississippi Land Company in the names of its three trustees: Leonard Jarvis, Henry Newman, and William Wetmore, whom Hull replaced.
William Hull (1753-1825) was an active and successful participant in many of the campaigns of the American Revolution fought in the North. He was later a leading Jeffersonian in Massachusetts and was appointed governor of the Michigan Territory in 1805. In the War of 1812, a series of unhappy circumstances forced him to surrender Detroit to the British without shots being fired.
