BIOGRAPHY

ABNER HULL - OF GENESEE COUNTY, NY

Abner Hull, a native of Killingworth, Conn., came to Genesee County in 1808. He arrived in the North Woods (so-called) after a journey of 400 miles, in 21 days, with the family. They had two yoke of oxen and a cart. He was justice of the peace for many years, and his reputation for honesty and integrity was such that he had to perform the duties of executor for many estates. He served as supervisor for many years. One of his sons, Ferdinand H., was sheriff of the County in 1860; another, Carlos A., was elected County clerk in 1867, and has held the office since. Abner Hull married Rachel Parmalee, and died in 1882. They lived where their son Eugene D. now resides.
