Elizabeth Clarke Hull "became the wife of Capt. James Masters of Schaghticoke, New York, who drove over the hills for her with a coach and six horses, making a great sensation along the route. She resided near Albany until the death of her fourth husband, when she returned to the home of her son, Dr. David Hull of Fairfield, Conn., a distinguished physician, with whom she remained until she was ninety years of age. At her request she was then taken by her sons, General Hull and Dr. David Hull, to the home of her favorite grandson, Alfred Hull, on Great Hill in Derby, where the closing years of her life were passed amid familiar scenes. After the complete vindication of her son, General William Hull, of the accusations brought against him after the War of 1812, his first act was to pay a visit to his mother and his native town, where he was received with gratifying honor. His mother did not long survive this visit, and on Feb. 11, 1826, when ninety-four years of age, Elizabeth Clarke Hull died and was laid to rest by the side of her first husband, Joseph Hull."
