Notes for Thomas Tull, Sr.:
The following is a summation which was posted on the Tull TULL-D Digest V01 #41. It addresses the problems associated with the Irish theory which was found in A Biographical Sketch of the Life of John Porter Tull and his Descendents by James Porter Tull. 

The Tull list is administered by Roy Juch, whose wife is a Tull descendent. Roy has 1000's of Tull descendants in his files. He can be reached at royjuch@juch.net

>Porter Tull offered no proof to back up his Irish theory. He simply
>asserted that it reflected, "....the authentic records of Ireland,
>England and Virginia", but without any indication of where others might
>look to examine such records. As for the Irish diaspora, he pointed
>vaguely to "....the highest Irish authorities" who he said claimed that
>the "Cromwellian devastations" had scattered "the ancient Irish
>proprietors and their children....from one end of the world to the
>other".
>
>Dramatic stuff - but well short of the standards of genealogical
>certitude. Nevertheless, in the absence of other, more soundly based
>versions of the Tull family background, these brief pages have been
>accepted by many without challenge to the present day. Part of the
>appeal of this theory is doubtless that there is just example. It is
>quite true that there was a Berkshire yeoman named Thomas Tull whose
>will was indeed recorded there in 1656, who had a son named Thomas ( &
>another named Richard), and an uncle named John Tull. But there reality
>ends.
>
>This Thomas Tull who died in 1556 married a Margaret Hedges (d.1663) but
>he was born (and buried) in Berkshire, not Ireland. Again, both were
>born and died locally. Thomas was also the grandson of a Richard Tull
>who died in 1594 and Margaret (or Margery) who died in 1598. Their
>final resting place is in the Midgham church yard. Further, Thomas's
>son, Thomas (1620-1674), did not emigrate but in 1640 married an Eleanor
>Browne (1620-1711). They had three sons, none of whom emigrated and all
>died in England. Brother Richard 1626-1661 married Elizabeth (
>) - both are buried in Midgham.
>
>In fact, Tulls have lived in Berkshire for over 600 years. One of the
>earliest references to them was in the Colthrop (Manor) Court Rolls when
>in 1367 it was noted that, "John Fryday, tithingman, presents (i.e.,
>charges) that William Heyward unlawfully drew blood from John Tull of
>Midgham..."
>
>In 1990 during his own research into the family's history, Mr. Stanley
>Tull now of Sarasota, Florida, a descendent of immigrant Thomas through
>Thomas's son Richard 1670-1710) and grandson Solomon (1697-1773),
>contracted with one of England's leading genealogical research firms,
>Achievements Ltd. of Canterbury, for a study of that history during the
>first half of the 17th century. Achievements investigated a host of
>records during its work in the following months and years. By 1993 it
>had uncovered many Tulls and Tull families in Berkshire - but no link
>whatsoever between them and Maotuile, Kyras Tully, Matthew Tully/Tull or
>Ireland in general.
