This page is here to serve as a place for me to collect my information on the Stull family, and to communicate them with relatives who are helping with the jpb of collecting and organizing it.

I've recently come across both primary and secondary information relating to the Stull family.

1870 Census Table

State of Michigan

Macomb County

The first primary source I've come up with is 1870 census data from Richmond, MI, where my great grandfather was born. The census lists two Stull families. One is clearly my great great grandfather, Joseph Stull. The other may very well be his father.

Frank Stull Death Record

State of Michigan

Macomb County

From the Michigan Department of Community Health's Genealogical Death Indexing System, I found one Macomb county Stull death in the 1867-1882 time-frame. Like the two 1870 census families, it was in Richmond.

Young Frank clearly fits with the Andrew Stull family, and even ties the two families together to an extent. Frank's father is listed as Andrew W, which is slightly different from the census's Andrew M, but it is an easy transcription error. His mother is listed as Elizabeth, deceased, supplyinng the name of Andrew's missing wife.

Frank also connects Joseph's family to Andrew's. Two years after the census and death records, Joseph and Maryette named their first son Frank, which makes a lot of sense if Frank was his younger brother who died young a couple of years earlier. Their second son is named George, the same as the oldest boy still living in Andrew's household in the census.

Secondary Sources

FamilySearch.org

The Ancestor File at FamilySearch.org lists another Stull family in Richmond, William H. who appears to be the son of Andrew M. The information is a bit sketchy, but provides a surname for Andrew's wife Elizabeth, whom it lists as Betsy E. Resnick. Ancestor file info is not the most reliable, but this data does fit in with the rest of the Stull information for Richmond and the whole family begins to make a certain amount of sense.

Pulling the Macomb county census and death information together with the Ancestor File data, we begin to see a coherent story, shown here.

Given the birthplaces, Andrew moved the family from New york to Michigan in about 1849 or 1850.

Since I wrote this, I've pretty much confirmed this family from the 1850-1910 census records.

We can flesh the dates out a bit more with information from the censuses.
