Jesse Hull applied for bounty land in Clinton county, on December 2, 1850, and again, in 1855, stating: He was a Private in the Company commanded by Capitan James Turner and was under Major Woodfork and Col. Hart, in the war with Great Britain declared by the United States on the 18th of June 1812, that he was drafted at Monroe, Overton County, Tennessee about the 17th day of September 1814 for the time of six months, and lacking three days being seven months and continued in actual service for six months." He attested in Albany, Clinton County, Kentucky, that he was a resident of Overton County, Tennessee, and was born September 11, 1773.
Early records of Overton County, Tennessee, are extremely few since the court-houses have experienced disasters. However, one long list of able-bodied men does exist when, in 1813, the "Inhabitants of Overton County," circulated a petition to form a company of "Mountain Men" to fight in the War with Great Britain. Jesse Hull, John Huddleston, Allen Brock......and later in the list, John Cargile and Joel Brock, to name a few, were signers of this petition, all known to be friends, neighbors, or related to Jesse.
Jesse, and his wife, Rebecca, were early members of Clear Fork Baptist Church, Rebecca having been received by letter, in March 1814, from Wilkes County, N.C., church. Jesse transferred to Wolf Valley Church, in April 1821. Jesse and his large family were enumerated, in 1820 census, of Cumberland County, Kentucky, in a 3 to 5 mile area that was in dispute with Tennessee, and fell into Clinton County, Kentucky, when it was formed, in 1836. Thus we find some of the Hull family, that lived in the three counties of Overton, Cumberland, and Clinton, and two States without having moved from their homes, due to change of county bounderies.
Jesse Hull was the middle son, of three known sons of Moses and Sally Hull. Moses and his family lived on 200 acres of Bounty Land, on Spring Creek, granted in 1807. This land is known to later have Charlie Griffin Farm Cemetery which was turned into farm land, and would be the site of Jesse and other Hull family graves.
Jesse and his wife, Rebecca Staley, had eleven known children. Rebecca died after 1814 and Jesse remarried to Jane Ashenhurst, probably a widow with children. They appear in the 1850 census of Overton County, Tennessee, and the 1850 census of Clinton County, Kentucky. The census places Jane's birth in Ireland, about 1796, and guardianship records, of Clinton County, give her death at March 1, 1879, from old age and a stroke, which left her helpless, in the care of John A. Ashenhurst. Jane had applied for widow's pension, on June 6, 1878, declaring she married Jesse Hull, in 1835, in Overton County, by Justice of the Peace, Stephen Sewell, and that Jesse died in 1863.
