Richard was on Long Island on 2 August 1687 When a Clerk of the County of Suffolk certified that a conveyance from Andrew Miller and his wife to Richard Smith dated 21 September 1670 was void. One of the witnesses was Richard Hulse.
On 18 December 1676 Richard Hulse was given a "half accommodation" in the town of Brookhaven. On 2 April he is referred to by inclusion as one of the young men to whom land was lately granted.
On 4 August 1679 Richard bought house, land, and orchard from BeNew Jerseyamin Gould and was to pay the equivalent of 25 pounds in labor, by building for Gould a frame of a house with clapboards and shingles and to provide the
nails. On 14 November 1682 Gould confirmed the completion of the sale.
Now uncertainty.. His wife who had given birth to four sons, seems to have died before any of the above. Her name, place or date of death are unknown. There seems to be no record of her in America. One hint-"The Thomas who was
born in England" has generally been assumed to be Richard's eldest son. (The others sons were Richard, Joseph, and John) If the younger three were born on this side of the ocean, then she was here. Part or all of the family must
have come on a ship, but nobody has found them on a ship's list.
If the Thomas referred to was a different one, not his son-names were so often repeated, dates were often entirely missing or estimated-- then the whole family may have lived elsewhere in New England before appearing on Long Island and even Richard my have been born on the American side of the Atlantic. His birth has been estimated as 1640, but I gather that between 1620 (the Mayflower date) and 1640 many ships crossed the water, so his parents or father could have come.
I know that some of these suggestions fly in the face of family tradition, but tradition has brought us to a brick wall Some other researchers must be thinking outside the box. Let me know what you think, what you have tried.
