      Silversmith and goldsmith. John Hull was born on 18 December 1624 in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, England.3,2 He was the son of Robert Hull and Elizabeth (Unknown) widow Storer.2 He attended school in England and in 1635 accompanied his parents to New England, arriving in Boston, Nov. 7, 1635. He attended for a short time the first school in Boston, established by Philemon Potmort, April 23, 1635; but was then taken out to help his father plant corn, and he aided him in farm-work for seven years. He then learned the goldsmith's trade. John Hull was chosen corporal under the command of Major Gibbons in 1618, and was made a sergeant in 1652. In that year the general court, in direct defiance of the Mixt Moneys Case decision of 1604 that the Crown of England had the sole right to coin money, ordered a mint to be set up in Boston for the coloring of shillings anti their fractions, every shilling to be 66 2/3 grains of fine silver, and in form flat and square on the edges, stamped on one side with "N. E.," and on the other "XIId." and the fractional coins "VId." and "IIId." The issue for forty years bore the one date "1652," except the "IId."pieces first issued in 1662. On Oct. 19, 1652, it was ordered that, to prevent "clipping or washing," they should have a double ring on either side with the inscription "Massachusetts" and a tree in the centre on the obverse and "New England" and the year on the reverse. John Hull was named for the employment and took his oath of office, June 11, 1652, having Robert Sanderson as a partner in the enterprise. He held the position of mint-master until his death, and received as payment one out of every twenty shillings coined and made a large fortune at that rate, computed at from £30,000 to £40,000. It was also subsequently claimed that the shilling pieces which he coined contained only about 602/3 grains of fine silver, in which case be also made a profit of 6 grains of silver on every shilling coined. In 1686 silver coinage was suspended and colonial bills of credit were issued, the royalists of the colony called the issue the money of treason and claimed that it was made from silver stolen from the Spaniards, that it was dishonest money, that it lowered the royal standard, inflated the colonial currency and that the seigniorage was exorbitant. The contest over the Pine Tree money was more intense when bills of credit were issued. Hull was chosen ensign of the South Military company in 1654, and was selected by the sergeant major and military officers to keep the records of their proceedings in 1656. He was one of the seven selectmen of Boston, 1657-63, and treasurer of the board, 1660-63. He became a member of the artillery company in 1660, afterward known as the Ancient and Honorable artillery; was elected ensign under General Leverett in 1663; lieutenant in 1664; and served as captain, 1671-78. He was deputy for the town of Wenham to the general court in 1668; for the town of Westfield, 1671, 1673 and 1674, for Concord in 1676 and for Salisbury, 1679-80. He was appointed by the council, June 25, 1675, to be one of the war committee and also treasurer-at-war, and served as county treasurer, 1676-79, and as an assistant, 1680-82. He was one of the principal American merchants, if not the greatest of his time, and owned two vessels, which were constantly engaged in voyages to and from the West Indies, England and France, while from year to year he was interested in numerous ventures in beaver, and various other commodities in other ships. He helped to found the Old South church, which was the third church in Boston, 1669. Of his several children, Hannah, who was married to Samuel Sewall, Feb. 28, 1675, was the only one who reached maturity. President Quincy calls John Hull one of the earliest benefactors of Harvard college and a gift of £100 is recorded in 1681.4 John Hull married Judith Quincy, daughter of Edmund Quincy and Judith Pares, on 11 May 1647 in Boston the service was performed by Gov. John Winthrop. She was his step-sister.5,6 John Hull died on 30 September 1683 in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of 58 (also recorded as 1 Oct 1683).3,4

      Major in the New England militia.3 Major General John Walley was born apparently in 1644 in England; the son of a London clergyman.3 He was the son of Rev. Thomas Walley.2 After emigrating to Massachusetts Bay Walley appears as a member and later an officer of the Ancient and Honourable Artillery Company of Boston. In or about 1680 he moved to Bristol (R.I.). He was apparently living in Barnstable (Mass.) in 1690, when he was appointed second in command, and commander of the land forces, in the expedition against Quebec led by Sir William Phips. He commanded the force of 1,200 or more men that landed on the côte Beauport below Quebec on 18 October. It was withdrawn three and a half days later without accomplishing anything and leaving most of its cannon behind. Walley was criticized for the failure, but was probably no more responsible than any other of the inexperienced amateurs who planned and executed the expedition.

He became a judge of the Superior Court of Massachusetts Bay in 1700, and apparently held office until his death. At various times he was a councillor of Plymouth and of Massachusetts. In 1709 he was appointed to an artillery command in the abortive expedition against Canada.4 Major General John Walley married Sarah (Unknown).1 Major General John Walley died on 11 January 1711/12 in Boston, Massachusetts.3

     Rev. Samuel Moody was born on 4 January 1675/76 in Newbury, Massachusetts.3 He was the son of Caleb/1 Moody and Judith Bradbury.1,2 Moody attended Harvard College, where he experienced conversion from reading Joseph Alleine's An alarm to unconverted sinners. He graduated in 1697 and the following year accepted the chaplaincy of York in northeastern Massachusetts (now Maine). Only a man inured to the prospect of hardship and possessed of exceptional courage would have agreed to go to a place where the previous minister and a number of inhabitants had lately been murdered by Indians. Moody declined a regular salary, believing that the Lord would provide. Once he gave away his wife's shoes to a poor woman, but a neighbour gave her a new pair before the day was out. Anxious to divest himself of the love of created things, he gave away his most prized possession, his horse, saying, "He goes right up with me into the pulpit, and I cannot have him there ...". Although he never failed in the performance of compassionate acts on behalf of the unfortunate, he nevertheless was a man of violent temper, as he showed when he visited the alehouses, driving home the tosspots whom he found idling there. Many of the tales told of him throughout New England and his strange utterances found their way into Agamenticus, a work of fiction.

Ministering to a people who knew the horrors of the petite guerre waged by the French and their Indian allies, Moody volunteered as a chaplain to John March's ill-fated expedition to Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, N.S.) in 1707. In 1712 York was attacked by Indians and some of Parson Moody's parishioners were killed. The following year, however, he signed a treaty with the Abenakis, which gave some temporary respite. The year before he died, the members of his congregation still found it necessary to go to church under arms.

Moody was a powerful preacher and took part in the religious revivals of his time, including the Great Awakening, which helped to give the expedition to Louisbourg, Île Royale (Cape Breton Island), in 1745 something of the character of a crusade. The fishery in which Maine settlers were so much engaged was threatened by the destruction of their station at Canso, Nova Scotia, and the attack on Annapolis Royal in 1744 by detachments from Louisbourg. Thus a third of the Massachusetts contingent sent to reduce that fortress in 1745 was drawn from Maine, the whole force being placed under the command of Moody's neighbour, William Pepperrell.

Moody joined the expedition as senior chaplain, and when he boarded the transport at Boston he seized an axe and exclaimed, "The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon," predicting that Louisbourg would be taken and that he would cut down the objects of papal worship. "O that I could be with you and dear Mr. Moodey in that single church," wrote Deacon John Gray to Pepperrell, "to destroy ye images their sett up, and hear ye true Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ their preached." It is said that following the siege Moody did attack the altar and images in the French church with his axe. He subsequently gave the first Protestant sermon preached within the precincts of Louisbourg. Though he had always been a long-winded and extemporaneous speaker, at the banquet tendered by Pepperrell to the British naval forces he astonished all present by the brevity of his thanksgiving.

Moody was in his seventies at the time of the capture of Louisbourg, the oldest man in the army.4 Rev.
