This photo may help find my family's missing link, Joseph Mallory b 1756. Both the Bull and Mallory families were very early in Ct, then in NY, MA, Vt and Canada, many as UEL during Revolution.
The Bulls intermarried with the Mallorys in New Burnswick. Some of the Bulls in my file come from Hamptonburgh, Orange, NY. They were originally from Wolverton England c 1689.
