"HULSE" IMMIGRANTS TO AMERICA

PART II. SMALL HULSE FAMILIES OR ONLY SINGLE IMMIGRANTS KNOWN

 

Except in a very few instances, nothing more is known about the following entries than the limited information given in these pages. It may be that many died without issue. Others, like Randall (ZE), may have later returned to their country of origin. Walter (ZH), and John (ZI) reportedly came with their parents, but the father's name has not been recorded. Some of these, therefore, may be related and eventually end up under one family entry. Others, such as G.W. Hulse who landed in San Francisco, and John Hulse in Galveston, Texas, might not be immigrants at all, but persons returning from a trip abroad. Hopefully one of the following, however, might turn out to be the immigrant ancestor of one of our present up-placed families. If anyone can increase our knowledge of any of these individuals, please do not hesitate to contact the editor. It goes without saying that if you find someone who is not on our list, please let us know.

CLAN "XA" - P. HULSE.
unknown. Immigrated before 1850


P. Hulse (first name, age, and country of origin unknown) obtained naturalization papers in San Francisco, California in 1850. From "San Francisco Ship Passenger Lists", Vol. 8, page 14, by Louis J. Rasmussen, Colma, California, "San Francisco Historical Records", 1969.

CLAN "XB" - CHARLES HULSE.
England. Immigrated 1836


Charles Hulse, age 26 (1810), listed as "merchant" immigrated from England to New York, on January 1836, aboard the ship "Sarah Azelia." Code A6164. New York Passenger List. Then two years later Charles Hulse, age 28 (1809), listed as "merchant", immegrated from England to New York, August 1837, on the ship "North America." Code A7497. New York Passenger List. Finally Charles Hulse, age 36 (1809), listed as "merchant", immigrated to New York (place of origin unknown), 21 July 1845, on the ship "Great Western." Code AB3740. New York Passenger List. Instead of an immigration could this have been the same English businessman making several trips to the U.S. There is specualtion that the above three Charles' are the same person and that after his third trip he remained in the U.S. because a Charles Hulse, born 9 January 1809, died on November 2nd 1891, in Middletown, Connecticut. His certificate of death gave his birth place as Nottingham, England. He left a wife Julia A. Hulse, born 13 October 1815 in Middletwon, and later died in Middletown on 13 January 1908.

CLAN "XC" - ANN HULS.
Germany? Immigrated 1845

CLAN "XJ" - GEORGE, BEN & FRANK HULSE
Germany. Immigrated 1911.


From a letter, dated 27 May 1975, a Mrs. Martha Hulse Koger, said that her German father, Mr. George Hulse, with two of his brothers, Ben and Frank Hulse, and their families, came from "Aumich", Germany in 1911. (The name of the town is in doubt).
They settled on farms near Flanagan, Illinois. George then went on to Oregon with his relations Mr. & Mrs. Henry and Anna Evens in 1914. Three sisters of George were also given, Olga, Gracie, and Anje. Reportedly the family consisted of six boys and three girls. George died in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, Oregon, 11 February 1947, age 65 (1882). "On his 65th birthday as a result of being run over by a truck." One of the sons apparently had a son as the letter lists Merle Hulse of Portland as a "1st cousin." As Martha did not list brothers or sisters it is presumed that she may have been the only child of George. She was 60 years old on 26 September 1975 (born 1915).

The 1880 Missouri census for Hooker, LaClede Co., lists John Hulse, age 54 (1826), born England (as was his wife and first four children). Wife Mary, age 54 (1826), and possibly seven children: Albert, born March 1852 (see below); Will (see below); Rosa, age 23 (1857); Ella, age 17 (1863); Alfred, age 9 (1871 born Illinois); Mary O, age 3, (1877 born Illinois); and, Percy A., age 1, (1879 born Missouri).

Anna is very probably John's second wife (she would have had to have been 14 when Lorenz was born) for in the same census the following step children are listed for him: Barbara (age 12), Leonard, (age 10), August, (age 6), and Theresa, (age 4), all bearing the surname Mayar. Also listed as a step child is Dora Wagener, age 2. One could then presume that Anna had been married twice before she married John.

CLAN "YE" - LOUIS HULSE.

With their family they came to American in the fall of 1866, and reportedly settled in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Most of the descendants of this family have been traced only through John's son Edmund's second marriage (see 1900 census for Greene Co., Missouri), but there were three other sons (William, Albert, and Arthur Herbert) and two daughters (Lucy Evelyn, and Adelaide) that need tracing, as do three children (Albert, William, and Mary) by John's son Edmund's first marriage.

CLAN "YI" - BERNARD HULTZ/HULS.
Germany. Immigrated 1847.

 

From a letter written by Charlotte Huls. "My great-great-grandfather was Bernard Hultz. He brought his family over from Hanover, Germany, in 1847. I don't know anything about his family as far as brothers, sisters, parents and older generations. His wife died on the boat on the way to the U.S. I haven't found out exactly the date they landed, where or what boat yet. He had at least one son, Henry, with him, who was the first to use the name Huls. The family settled in Illinois. Bernard remarried either on the boat or shortly after arriving in the U.S. His new wife's name was Mary and I think her last name was Imholdt. I assume that it was a married name. She had a daughter... listed as Mary Imholdt on the Federal Census. There were three more children by this marriage (William, Elizabeth, and Joseph). My great-grandfather, Henry, headed for some rich Minnesota farmland and was stopped by a severe blizzard in Dorchester, Iowa. He settled there. He married Anna Engleken (born Germany) the daughter of Bernard Engelken and Mary G. Kupper (who had immigrated to America in 1854. Henry and Anna had five children, Mary Anna, Anna Margaret, Elizabeth Ann "Lizzie", Bernard Henry, and Margaret Agnes "Maggie". In 1880 Henry moved his family to St. Benedict, Nemah Co., Kansas. Mary married John Koelzer and moved to Texas. She had 13 children. Annie married George Koelzer and stayed in Kansas. She had five children before George died of blood poisoning. Lizzie married Phillip Ketter, Jr. and also stayed in Kansas. She also had about 13 children. Maggie married William Dick and also stayed in Kansas. They had two children, one who died in childhood. The other is 92 years old and is in a nursing home in Seneca, Kansas. (As of 1995).

 

Bernard was my grandfather. He married Ida Ketter, sister of Phillip, Jr. They took over the family farm. They had nine children. When the depression hit, hard times hit them. They moved for a short time to a new farm north of Baileyville, Kansas. About 1930 some of the family moved to Hartley, Texas. Ida died in Texas in 1939. Bernard and some of the adult children moved too Colorado. This is where my father Henry met my mother. They were married here and stayed here in Colorado.

 

Of the three children born of my great-great-grandfather's second marriage, I know of the youngest. His name was Joseph. He eventually moved to Ellinwood, Kansas where he married and had a number of children. (Leo N., Mary L., Alvena, Henry J., and Leona C."

 

Both families were in Allamakee, Iowa, in the 1880 census. Henry, Jr... "came to Kansas in 1882 to set up his family on a Kansas farm of his own. He bought 160 acres of prairie land, which his son Bernard Huls now owns. He paid $800 for this land, which required considerable working before it was a good farm. Henry Hulse was a man who loved to work. He steadily improved his farm and increased its yield. By the time he died in 1910, his place was a model farm and his neighbors looked to it for ideas with which to improve their own farms. Mr. Huls was possessed of the German thrift and that, in a large measure, accounts for his success. Mrs. Hulse died January 8, 1916, at the home of her son, Bernard, aged 68 years." (History of Nemah County, page 596, pub 1916). Henry, Jr. and Anna had five children, 1) Mary, who married John P. Koelzer; 2) Anna, who married George Koelzer; 3) Elizabeth, who married Phillip Ketter (brother to Ida); 4) Bernard Henry, who married Ida Ketter (sister to Phillip); and 5) Margaret, who married William Dick.

 

Bernard was born 20 April 1878 in Allamakee Co., Iowa, and ..."spent his boyhood on his father's Nemaha County farm, plowing, doing chores and going to school. He attended the parochial schools at St. Benedict, and at the age of 21 he rented land from his father and set out to farm for himself. Bernard put graded stock on his farm and takes pride in his fine animals. He has modern improvements on his place and is always on the lookout for new time-saving devices, such as gang tractor plows, operated by motor, and other modern farm machinery. Since the death of his father, Bernard has owned the old home place, consisting of 200 acres, which he bought from his father's estate. Fifty acres of this he keeps in corn. Since his boyhood days he has operated a threshing outfit, beginning with an old horsepower machine, and now using a modern thresher. He was married to Ida Ketter in 1899. To this union were born seven children: William, Theresa, Anna, Leo, John, Agelbertha and Henry, all living with their parents. Mrs. Huls was born October 29, 1877, in Wisconsin, and came to Kansas when two-years-old with her parents, Philip and Elizabeth Ketter, who located in Nemaha county as pioneers. "Mr. Hulse (Bernard) is a member of the Catholic church, having been brought up in that faith. He votes the Democratic ticket ordinarily, although he is always ready to cast his vote for the best man, regardless of party affiliations. Mr. Hulse belongs to the Knights of Columbus and to the Farmers Union. He is interested in public affairs and takes pride in doing his share toward the preservation of good government." ("History of Nemaha County" page 596).

CLAN "YJ" - SAMUEL HULSE,
England. Immigrated in 1882.

 

Samuel Hulse was a native of Audley, Straffordshire, England. He was born March 22, 1852. He married in England in about 1871, Elizabeth Barlow, born in Weston, Cheshire, England, daughter of Joseph and Martha Barlow. They had 14 children of which only one, Edgar, had survived by the time of the writing of the following article in 1914. Probably all, but Edgar and Mary Elizabeth, had died, either at childbirth, or relatively young. 1) Edgar who married Elizabeth Freeland; 2) Mary Elizabeth who married James Phillips, of Throop, Pennsylvania (they had Charlotte, deceased, and Frances, married William Cullen); 3) Wilmont, 4) Edna, 5) Albert, 6) Ezra, and eight others not named.

 

Per the attached article it appears that Samuel had a brother who came over before him. The article did not mention the name.

 

The following is quoted from "Scranton and Bouroughs of Lackawanna County", Vol. 2. By John P. Downs. Published 1914.

 

"Until he (Samuel Hulse) was fourteen years of age he was a student in the public schools of his birthplace, at that age obtaining employment upon a farm. He was a youth of but nineteen years when he was married, and resided in England until 1882, engaging in agricultural operations, then immigrating to the United States, his wife and three children joining him six months later. Upon arrival in this country, Mr. Hulse went to Trenton, New Jersey, where a brother secured him an excellent opening with authority over a section of six or seven persons, but after three months dissatisfaction led him to resign his position. He came at once to Scranton, Pennsylvania, and almost immediately after his arrival became acquainted with J. S. Farringer, superintendent of the Rough and Ready Mines, now owned by the Scranton Coal Company....In 1891 he resigned his poisiton and purchasing some horses he began general contracting and teaming, his work including the digging of cellars, grading of streets, and hauling of all kinds, while a source of large profit was a gravel pit and sand bank that he owned in the vicinity. His teams were also used in the fulfillment of his contract to carry mail between Scranton, Throop and Marshwood, and in the cutting of ice on the Deleware and Hudson ice pond. Mr. Hulse became a dealer in this commodity, frequently being busied with as many as fifty-three teams. Etc."

CLAN "YK" - WILLIAM HULSE.
England. Immigrated before 1838.

G. W. Hulse emigrated from Panama by steamer "Gold Hunter" under Capt. Kenney Couillard. They left Panama on 7 April 1850 and arrived in San Francisco, California on 29 April 1850. G. W.

W. was an immigrant, or just one of the many Americans who traveled west at that time in search of gold, and used the sea route via Panama. Does anyone have a G. W. (George Washington ?) in their family who went west at this time?

His name is also on a tombstone in the above cemetery, so may have died in Charlestown, without marrying (age 20), and without issue. Charles Sr., and his two sons are listed in the 1850 census of Charlestown Twp., Clark Co., Indiana. Charles Senior's wife was not listed. Charles, Jr., and Frances were later listed in the 1900 Illinois census Soundex for Oregon Twp., Clark Co. (a small village north of Charlestown).

CLAN "ZF" - SAMUEL HULSE.
England. Transported 1766.

 

From "The Complete Book of Emigrants in Bondage, 1614-1775" by Peter Wilson Coldham, published by Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, Maryland (1988): Vol. 9, page 9. Samuel Hulse of Leicestershire, England, was sentenced to be transported to the American colonies for a period of seven years, unless otherwise stated. Date of the Session at which the trial took place - Lent (March) 1766.. Under Transportation Bond to Virginia April 1766. "Bonded Passengers to America", Vol IX, Midland Circuit, 1671-1775.

 

Samuel was transported from Baltimore, Maryland, to Virginia in April 1766. On 4 August 1779, Samuel married Margaret Knight in the Luthern Church, Frederick, Maryland. Next he appears in the 1787 census of Personal Property Tax, Trurd Parish, Fairfax, Virginia. Children and death date not known.

 

There is a possibility that John Richardson Hulse (Family Unit #35), born 1789/90, was a son, as John's first son was named Samuel D. Hulse.

Family was listed in Ward 1 Cincinnati, Ohio 1850 Census. John as "merchant" and John "Jr" as "finisher". The difference in ages between John, Jr. and Henry (born 1829 and 1841 respectively) raises question as to relationship. It may be that John Sr. had married earlier, and John Jr. was a child by his first wife.

CLAN "ZH" - WILFRED COHN HULSE.

First Generation

 

Jacob Hulses was born about 1795 in Freiberg, Baden, Germany, and died in 1861 in Bonanza, Caldwell Co., Missouri. He was married to Forena Broanbeard. Only one child reported: Samuel.

Samuel Hulses, was born in 1825 in Richland Co., Ohio. He married twice (both times in Ohio), in 1847 to Finnetta Phillips, and the second time (about 1853) to Urettia Phillips. There were ten children by both marriages: Phebe, Urettia A., and Hannah F. by the first marriage; and Jacob E., Finetta J., George J., Margaret E., Annie E., Martha E., and Stonewall, by the second.

From the "History of Caldwell Co., Missouri," pub by National Historical Co., St. Louis (1886), page 463, there is an article on Samuel Hulses, of which the following is extracted. "The parents of Mr. Hulses were both originally from Freiberg, Baden, Germany, where they were reared and married. His father, Jacob Hulses, worked at cabinet making until 1817, when he emigrated with his family to the United States, landing at New Castle in the spring of the following year. For about six years they resided in Pennsylvania and then went to Richland County, Ohio. In 1838 he became a citizen of Caldwell County and settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Algernon Wingate, of this township, purchasing about 200 acres of land. A portion of this tract is the present site of the village of Bonanza. This place had upon it three cabins, but little clearing. This afterwards continued to be the home of Mr. Hulses and here he reared his family in comfort, if not in luxury. His death took place in 1861, and his wife, whose maiden name was Forena Broanbeard, died in 1840. Samuel Hulses, born in Richland County, Ohio in 1825, was reared upon a farm, but was denied the advantages of more than a limited education. For the most part he has followed farming through life, although he has worked some at the stonemason's trade; and being handy with tools, has frequently turned his attention to some things in the line of a mechanic. With the exception of five years spent in the West he has lived in this county since the time he was brought here. His farm contains 150 acres, and he gives some attention to the raising of stock. Thomas Phillips, the father of Mrs. Hulses, was born in Saratoga, New York in 1795. No further information available.

Robert and Helen had only one child (a son): Robert Douglas, born 16 August 1943 in Niagara Falls, New York. Robert D. married 20 August 1966, in New York City, to Nancy Louise Musser.
