From the Memoir of Gem. William Hull.
Only a few months after the sentence of the court martial (finding William Hull guilty in his court martial and sentencing him to death), General Hull met with a greater misfortune in the loss of his only son, Captain Abraham Fuller Hull of the Ninth Infantry, who fell in the battle at Lundy's Lane, July 1814, while leading his company in a bayonet charge on the enemy's guns.
So, here was William Hull, facing the death penalty for his surrender of Fort Detroit and he then finds out about the death of his only son. Like I said, poor William Hull.
As his father's aide, Captain A. F. Hull signed "Hull's Proclamation" in July 1812.
(Well, it looks like I'll be looking up Hull's Proclamation to see what that is all about.)
