Bull family planning ahead for 150th reunion
An article from the Communities section of the Times Herald-Record, Sat. March 18, 2017, highlighting the upcoming 150th annual Bull Picnic.
Overview of the 150th Bull Family Reunion
The Event: The planning is underway for the 150th Bull family reunion and picnic, which is scheduled for August 5 at the family homestead, known as the Bull Stone House in Hamptonburgh. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m.
The Organizers & Promoters:
Bridget Miceli, a 10th-generation descendant living in the homestead, is actively coordinating outreach (especially trying to connect with the younger generation via Facebook) and telling relatives to bring a picnic lunch or order a barbecue lunch through the family foundation.
Melanie Lattimer is the current resident caretaker of the Bull Stone House, which has been her home since birth.
Michael K. Brown, Melanie’s father, was the previous caretaker of the historic property.
Family History:
The lineage began with William Bull and Sarah Wells, who were among the founding families of Orange County in 1722.
One of the family's most notable historical figures was Amy Bull Crist (1906–1995), a prominent educator and community leader with deep connections across the county.
