| Notes |
- "Families of Early Hartford, Conn." by Lucius Barnes Barbour:
Thomas and Susannah were early members of the first Church in Hartford. They separated to the second church on February 12, 1670 of which they were original members. Thomas Bunce's name is on the Founders Monument in Hartford, CT. Thomas was commonly called Captain.
"Soldiers of King Philip's War, 1675" by George M. Bodge, Boston, 1906 lists a Thomas Bull, enlisted in Dedham, MA on 9 of Xber, 1675, April 1676, and June 24, 1676. It's unknown if this is the same Thomas Bull. Also, this source lists a Thomas Bull from Hartford, CT under the enlistment year of 1637 serving under Capt. John Mason, was in the Pequot War, and received grants of land for service. It's unknown if this is the same as Thomas Bull.
"Connecticut Soldiers in the Pequot War of 1637" by James Shepard, Meriden, CT, 1913, citation supplied by Cynthia - Internet Contact ([email protected]) shows that Thomas Bull enlisted from Hartford; was first at Boston or Cambridge in 1635; Hartford 1636; was in command at the Fort at Saybrook in 1675 [King Phillip's War]; died 1684. Had 7 children...In 1639, Thomas Bull informed the court (at Hartford) that a musket marked "I.W." was taken up at Pequanocke, which was received to be John Wood's who was killed at the river's mouth.
