The “Hull Family History” is credited with the account that he was active in the trade with the West Indies, owning a ship called The Catch and another called the Hopewell.

He als took a leading part in the purchase of town lands from the Indians, served one year as constable, and during the last six years of his life was a leading member of the town board of selectmen.
