Chapter XV THE COMING OF THE HULL COMPANY
During the summer of 1634, according to a record in the Town Records of
Dorchester, "there went out to New England 20 ships, with 2000
planters." (See the Western Antiquary, Vol.6, p.88.)
In 1635 Weymouth was numbered among the towns of the Massachusetts Bay
Colony. The Gorges' claim had now become of no weight, and the Gorges
party had transferred this interest to the Province of Maine. Weymouth
began to take a prominent part in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
In 1635 there came a large addition to the population of Weymouth. This
was the Hull Company, already mentioned and a statement made where their
names can be found, but it seems best that the list should be given.
They came from Weymouth in England, but some of them were from other
towns in Dorset and in counties near by.
We now find that the influence of Boston is felt as the center of the
Bay State Colony, for permission had to be given to Hull and his company
to settle in Wessagusset. Thus on July 8, 1635, the General Court of
Boston passed an order giving permission to the Rev. Joseph Hull, with
twenty-one families numbering about one hundred persons, to settle at
Wessagusset.
The people of this company became prominent in the affairs of Weymouth,
and some of their descendants hold that position to-day. In 1870 Mr. H.
G. Somerby, who had been making investigations in England, discovered a
list of the Hull passengers and sent it to Mr. William L. Appleton of
Boston, with the following letter:
LONDON, September, 1870.
My DEAR MR. APPLETON: - Amongst a bundle of miscellaneous manuscripts
just turned up in the Public Record Officer I find with other documents
relating to New England, the following list of passengers which I have
the pleasure of sending to you for publication in the Register.
I remain, yours very truly,
H. G. SOMERBY.
Mr. Appleton gave the list to the Register and it was published in the
New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XXV, pages 13, 14
and 15, January, 1871.
