William Hull was put on court martial after his surrender of Fort Detroit and convicted of cowardice, neglect of duty and unofficerlike conduct. President Madison commuted the sentence, though.
William Hull was born June 24, 1753 in Derby, Connecticut. He died November 29, 1825 and is buried at East Parish Burying ground in Newton, Massachusetts.
Isaac Hull was born March 9, 1773 in Derby, Connecticut and died February 13, 1843, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
