    Notes 
    • Capt. John, like his father, was a sea captain and an ardent Quaker. He made frequent voyages to London and there met and married an English lady, Alice, daughter of Edmund Teddeman of the British Navy in 1684. After his marriage he resided for two years in London. In 1687 he came to Newport and settled in Jamestown on Conanicut Island. He was Deputy from Jamestown in 1698, 1703, 1706-7, and 1709. In 1712 he was Head Warden at Jamestown. On one of his voyages to London he met, and took as an apprentice, the orphan son of a friend, named Charles Wager. The latter's father, also named Charles, had been a captain in the Commonwealth navy and later in 1660, commanded the Yarmouth in the fleet which brought Charles II back to England. The younger Charles was brought up by Captain Hull who taught him navigation. He returned to England, entered the Royal Navy, and became Sir Charles Wager, Admiral of the White and First Lord of the British Admiralty. Sir Charles died in 1743 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where his monument is still to be seen (cf. D.N.B. and THE REGISTER., vol. 102, pp. 276-77). His memory long lingered in the Hull family; some of their sons were given the name of Wager and the Block Island family possessed, in the last century, an engraving of the Admiral.
