About John Dull, Sr.

John was one of the original settlers of Somerset County. Early on he was a trapper and trader of furs. He later served in the Revolutionary War.

His exact date of birth is unknown thus far, but had to have been born at least fifteen to twenty years prior to the war, making somewhere between 1750 and 1760.(Estimate)


John seved in the military in 1776. He was a private in Captain Rundio's Flying Camp as part of the Philadelphia Militia in the American Revolution. John worked as a hunter and trapper.

Burial Union Cemetery New Centerville (Somerset County) Somerset County Pennsylvania.

Revolutionary Soldier 1775-1783



Somehow "Doll" became "Dull" in John's lifetime. John and Elizabeth had eleven children, all born in Pennsylvania, between 1778 and 1795. Elizabeth and John are buried in the New Centerville Cemetery, Somerset County Pennsylvania. John lived to be 82 years old (Elizabeth lived to 95!)
