North Kingston, R.I. [Keith Bull]
"John Bull, eldest child, and only son, of Isaac Bull and his 1st wife, Mary, was called a miller in North Kingston, Rhode Island. He and his wife Mary Closson had ten children, of whom one, Ruth, may have died young as no further record of her has been found.
Six of their sons, (all excepting John) moved into New York Colony about the same time, some settling in Dutchess County. Mary's brother, Nathan Closson, had migrated to Dutchess County so this may have influenced the six young Bull brothers to "go west" and eventually settle there. They had large families which later helped to colonize the wilderness of other parts of New York in the north and west. Some went to Vermont, the southern part of which was New York at that time, During and following
the Revolutionary War, some of their descendants went up into Quebec and some eventually migrated westerly across Canada.

MARRIAGE: Isaac's first wife was Mary. Isaac and Mary would have married (bet 1675-April 1676): between the ending of the indenture in 1675 and the birth of their first child John, born 1677.
A monument to the Mowry family was erected within the cemetery near Woonsocket, RI. The "West side" refers to one of the four sides of the monument. It is recorded in "Genealogies of Rhode Island Families, Vol 1". Gen. Pub. Co [pp717-721], from which we take the following: "HENRY MOWRY, son of Nathaniel, born about 1670, married 1st in 1701 Mary, daughter of Isaac and Mary Bull of Newport. Married 2d in 1726, Hannah Mowry, widow of John Mowry 2d of Smithfield. Her maiden name was Packard. Mary died about 1728. "
There was another Isaac Bull, who married a Sarah Parker, dau. of John and Sarah Parker, on April 22, 1653.[ "A Report of the Record Commissioners of Boston, Massachusetts 1630 - 1699", page 43, and SAVAGE, VOL 3 DICT FIRST SETTLERS OF NE (page 351)"[Parker] ...JOHN, Boston 1644, shoemaker, had w. Sarah, who join. our ch. in Aug. of that yr. and prob. d. Sarah, who m. 22 June 1653, Isaac Bull. Perhaps he was the freem. of 1650. "] Although there are many who consider Sarah Parker to be the first wife of Isaac, son of Edward of Donnington, all sources point to a different Isaac Bull. According to the indenture of 1668, Isaac could not marry until the indenture period - 7 years - was over in 1675, more than 20 years after the marriage of Isaac Bull/Sarah Parker. Also, it is assumed that his birth was around 1653/54 since the usual age of indenture was about 14, placing his birth at the same time as the Isaac Bull/Sarah Parker marriage. For more information regarding Isaac Bull/Mary/Sarah Parker, see the Bull Research Pages at http://www.artback.com/IsaacBull. This site lists resources surrounding Isaac Bull and who he was.
