ABSTRACT
This chapter is significant because of the subject's father, Jonah Bull, who was educated in London and emigrated to the American South in 1795. Jonah fought against his mother country in the War of 1812, serving under Andrew Jackson himself, and is a good example of a British immigrant embracing the ideals of the American republic. Andrew Jackson Bull, one of the well known and representative citizens of Perry Township, is a native of Ohio, born in Butler County, October 27, 1817, a son of Jonah Bull, a native of England, who was born near London, on the Thames, January 24, 1764, and a grandson of Abel Bull who was a teacher and book-seller. Jonah Bull received his education in London, and subsequently engaged in teaching. In 1795 he immigrated to America, locating first at Charleston, South Carolina, and from there went to Virginia.
