Captain Abraham Fuller Hull-- Part 4

From the July 25, 2012, War of 1812 Chronicles.

Captain Abraham Fuller Hull, of the Ninth Infantry, died on July 25, 1814; killed at Lundy's Lane.

In the History of the Ninth  U.S. Infantry, his burial is described:

"Only one other body of an American has been dug up on the battle-field at Lundy's Lane.  It was that of Captain Abraham Fuller Hull of the  Ninth Infantry, to which regiment  of the nine other Yankees, as their buttons showed, belonged.

"The bones of Captain Hull, unearthed several years ago, were reburied in an isolated spot at the south end of the Drummond Hill Cemetery.  The grave into which the remains remains of his nine comrades were laid yesterday is close beside it."
