Race: White
Place of Birth/Residence: Clear Spring, Washington County, MD
Enlistment Date: 06/15/1861
Company: A
Rank at End of Service: Private
Notes:
Several sources declare that Hull was killed at the Battle of Chancellorsville, VA; his compiled military service record includes conflicting information, but he was ultimately declared "missing in action, May 1-3, 1863." Hull's body was supposedly found on the battlefield by his father, who fought on the Confederate side and had perhaps been captured, although the father's military service record does not state that he was at the Battle of Chancellorsville. (In Roster of Civil War Soldiers from Washington County, Maryland, the armies in which father and son fought are mistakenly switched.)
