Among the early immigrants to the Eastern Shore of Virginia were Thomas Tull and Richard Tull. It has been asserted that these two were brothers (perhaps cousins), since they both moved to Somerset County, MD; and they bought property together. It seems likely that they were indeed related to each other, and also to other early immigrants such as William Waters and Charles Hall. Heinz Field, the home of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers for last 21 years, is no more — and a Michigander is the reason why. The Steelers announced Monday that Acrisure, a Fintech company which operates a top 10 global insurance broker and is headquartered in Grand Rapids, purchased the naming rights to Pittsburgh's North Shore stadium. Greg Williams, a native of Lansing, serves as the chairman and CEO of Acrisure, which he co-founded in Despite the year-old's Michigan roots, Williams has been a fan of the Steelers his entire life.

Relatedly, we are eager to invest in the Pittsburgh community and broader region as we chart our course to an unforgettable first season. This relationship truly embodies and aligns two organizations that have high standards and are determined to achieve great things." The value of the deal has not yet been released, but it's set to last for the next 15 years. Here's a few things to know about the man behind the newly named Acrisure Stadium: Even though Williams didn't graduate from Michigan State, he and his family are big supporters of the Spartans.

A Biographical Sketch of the Life of John Porter Tull and his Descendents by James Porter Tull (Hartford, Conn.: Morton B. Hadlock, )
was for many years the only major source for Tull researchers. As the best known source, the information in it spread like wildfire as genealogy became more popular.
Mr. Tull's book represents a lot of hard work, and is still of great value. The major problem with the information in the book is not the descent forward from the original immigrant; but the Irish connection. I would be the last one to suggest that James P. Tull put anything in his book, other than what he believed to be the truth, or the best guess possible with the information available at the time.
It may be that one of the 19th century "professional genealogists" who managed to find a royal, or Huguenot, etc ancestor for many people supplied this dramatic Irish connection for him. Without verifiable sources, it's anyone's guess.
The following is a summation, which was posted at on the Tull Message Board, TULL-D Digest V01 # It addresses the problems associated with the Irish theory. The Tull list is administered by Roy Juch whose wife is a Tull descendant. His extensive Tull files, which contain ’s of descendants, can be viewed at
