We Honor Our Patriots.  Hannah Hull Chapter NSDAR proudly honors our Revolutionary War Patriots whose sacrifices led to the freedoms we enjoy in the United States of America. Please view our "Our Patriots" page.

Hannah Hull Chapter was organized on October 7, 1913, with thirty-one charter members, in the home of Mrs. R.N. Bowden. Mrs. George B. MacFarlane, State Regent, presided at the meeting. The chapter was named after the ancestor of Mrs. Bowden, Hannah Hull Bray. Hannah Hull (1 July 1750--24 February 1828) was born in Wallingford, New Haven, Connecticut, the daughter of John Hull and Mary Andrews Hull. She was married to Revolutionary War Patriot, Asa Bray (22 June 1741--21 October 1815). Bray held the rank of Captain in the 2nd Connecticut Battallion in the Regiments of Colonel Cook and Colonel Hooker. He was also in the Connecticut 15th Military Regiment under Colonels Smith and Enos. His wife, in staunchly supporting her husband, became involved as a true Daughter of the American Revolution. Her home in New Haven, Connecticut, was a mecca for women who helped assist in war work.
