"Mary's brother Nathan Closson, had migrated to Dutchess County, so this may have influenced the six young Bull brothers to go west and eventually settle there. They had large families which later helped to colonize the wilderness of other parts of New York in the north and west. Some went to Vermont, the southern part of which was New York at that time. During and following the Revolutionary War, some of their descendants went up to Quebec, and some eventually migrated westerly across Canada."
