PLEASE TAKE HEED OF THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION REGARDING GRAVESTONES ANYWHERE!
Under NO circumstances should you EVER
touch a stone or alter its appearance with chemicals,
or any substances! This will permanently
deface and or start a destructive cycle/reaction of the stone!!
INSTEAD, to gather information on a stone
which is hard to read, do the following:
1. Spray a large piece of cardboard with
Silver paint
2. Wrap with cellophane and tape it.
3. Set it up like an easel at an angle to
reflect light onto the stone so that the words cast shadows and make it easier
to photograph
4. Do NOT place coins of any kinds on the stones
because the copper with react with the stone
5. Do NOT do rubbings, chemicals will destroy
the stone over time
6. Do NOT scrub, or sand the face! This is a
totally destructive method!
7. Do NOT use shaving cream, this also reacts
with the stone!
8. ASK or talk to the Cemetery officials to
assist you with your efforts- They know how to properly re-etch and clean the
stones.
I am your host Gary A. Lull,
the 4th Great Grandson of the famous Captain
Timothy Lull, who was
the first settler and founding father citizen of
Harland in 1763.
If I can be of assistance in your search for
Hartland ancestors
or advise you about any burials in the local
cemeteries,
I’d will be more than pleased to try and assist
you.

was recorded that the first settler of Hartland was Timothy Lull who arrived
from Dummerson in May, 1763. He would remain in Hartland for the rest of his
life where he died at the age of 81. He would raise 12 children and his son
Timothy Lull Jr. was the first male child born in Hartland in December of 1764.

On March 24, 1778 William Gallup was made commissioner of
confiscated lands. The lands that were confiscated belong to those people who
had remained loyal to England during the war, commonly known as Tories. Gallup
appointed Matthias Rust and Charles Spaulding appraisers, to conduct sales.
They issued the following report: "We, the subscribers, being appointed by
William Gallup, of Hartland, in the State of Vermont, to appraise certain lots,
or parcels, of land belonging to Whitehead Hicks, (and gone over to the enemy,)
One lot, the property of Sturtevant, No. 6, second range, 300 acres, price 6
shillings per acre, purchased by John Sumner and Nehemiah Liscomb."
Whitehead Hicks, the mayor of New York, lost about 1,422 acres and the person
called Sturtevant about 1,488 acres. From this sale Captain Gallup paid into
the treasury more than 1,118 pounds.

Note:
During my 44 years on genealogy / researching
surnames, my research located about 38 names of men and women who came to
America, in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Of these many were never recorded as
Pilgrims. If you can’t find your people listed in fleet logs, but have
traced them as far back as very early 1600’s. Chances are they might be located
here, or in Ipswich as fishermen / planters. The fishermen people were aboard
ships that came to Ipswich Massachusetts, in the years from 1601 to 1635. Of
these 38 people a great many were never recorded in the Plymouth Fleets or the Sir
Jonathan Winthrop 27 fleets from England or any other such type ships, to
America, with exception their own, or as fisherman/planters. Of course
of these, some accepted the requirement to pay dues to be part of
the town organized citizens. This act of acceptation placed them within the
town jurisdiction, as registered freemen.
