He was the son of Dr. Titus Hull (1751–1817) and Olive (Lewis) Hull (1754–1812). He was born in that part of Woodbury which was separated in 1787 as the Town of Bethlehem, in Litchfield County, Connecticut. He studied medicine, and was licensed to practice in May 1802. Half a year later he removed to Augusta, New York, and practiced medicine there with Dr. Amos G. Hull. In 1803, he married Dorcas Ambler (1780–1858), and they had several children. In September 1804, he removed to Bridgewater, and practiced medicine there on his own.
