Hi Gary,
I saw your posting and understand your frustration. No one has replied
on my line throughout the years! Is there any chance that your BULLs
were ever in Chester Co. PA or that they were at any time Quakers? Here
is my lone BULL:

Bithia Bull (daughter of Thomas Bull and ?? Lucas) m. Job Pearsall bef
1735 in Hampshire Co., VA. Job b. abt 1705 Chester Co., PA d. 1770
Patterson’s Creek, Hampshire Co., VA

I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe there is a link...

Thanks,
Mary Ferguson Loher
