William Bull and Sarah Wells Stone House AssociationScope and Content
Only just begun.....
In 1968, descendants of William Bull and Sarah Wells, the first white couple married in Orange County, reenacted the wedding of 250 years earlier. The wedding dress, covered with crewel embroidery on homespun linen, is believed to have been made by Sarah Wells and worn by her daughter Margaret for her marriage to Silas Horton around 1756. Every year family descendants have a reunion, and this year, a 1,046 page history and genealogy of the clan has been published. Through accounts of what happened to William and Sarah's descendants, a mini-picture of American history emerges.
