• Suffix	^
  Birth	25 Apr 1835	Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
  	[The 1850 census indicated his age as 15, the 1880 census indicates 45 -- making his birth year about 1835. The "Portrait and Biographical Record" gave his birthdate as 25 Apr 1835 and birthplace as "Brook Haven" (Fire Place).. The Hawkins volumes gave his birth year as 1843. Four of seven International Genealogical Index references gave his birthdate as 25 Apr 1835. One International Genealogical Index source put his birth place as Baldhills (modern Farmingville), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY, while all others indicated Fire Place. While the "Portrait and Biographical Record" gave his parents as Hampton and Eliza A. (Wines) Hulse, and one IGI source also indicated a birth place as Wading River, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY and parents as Hampton Hulse and Elizabeth Ann Wines, these references are likely in error: The "Portrait and Biological Record" itself clearly indicates that William W. Hulse was his brother with the parents indicated here, and Charles H. was living in the household of Sarah Hulse (his mother) in 1850; the preponderance of the other sources also recorded the parents indicated here.]

  Notes	From "Portrait and Biographical Record:" CHARLES HALLOCK HULSE. The truth of Shakespeare's well known epigram, "there is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them how you will, " is proved hundreds of times daily. Even so has it been in the career of our subject. Born in a modest sphere of life, making it necessary for him to work from the earliest childhood, and with the most limited opportunities to acquire an education, he still has made of himself that noblest work of God--an honest, honorable man, who takes his place in society as a good and respected citizen. By calling, Mr. Hulse is a contractor and a builder, located at Sayville. He was born in Brook Haven [then Fireplace], April 25, 1835, and is a son of Hampton and Eliza A. (Wines) Hulse [his parentage quoted here is likely an error. Elsewhere on the Portrait and Biographical Record he is recorded as a brother to W. W. Hulse, whose parentage is as recorded here.]. A more extended notice of the family history may be found in the sketch of W. W. Hulse, of Bay Shore. As before said, our subject was early put into the harness. His father died when he was fourteen years of age, and he early felt the pressure of earnestness of life. He was required to work throughout the pleasant weather, while only the dull, inclement days were allowed him to attend school. He learned his trade, that of carpenter and builder, in Port Jefferson, the years from eighteen to twenty-one being spent in apprenticeship. He then removed to Brooklyn, where he was engaged in the business for fourteen years. During that time he had accumulated a snug competency, and when he came to Sayville he purchased real estate for which he paid $9,000, a large price for twenty-five years ago. It proved, however, to be a good investment, although he carried it for some time at considerable cost, but when at last it was sold, he made handsomely from it. He still owns considerable real estate, and by virtue of his holdings has become quite interested in the business of transferring property. He has built many houses, having an excellent reputation in his line in this locality. Although his first youth is past, he is still as much in the harness as ever, having all he can do to fill contracts for large buildings as well as private residences. Charles Hulse was married to Sarah E. Hawkins of Brook Haven, December 21, 1856. Mrs. Hulse was born in Bellport, and was taken to Brook Haven by her parents when two years of age. Our subject and his wife are the parents of six children, namely: Arcelis, who is the wife of Henry O. Newton, a resident of this place; Ella, the wife of Thomas Overington, also living here; Charles, deceased; Louis G.; Clarence H., who is a physician, practicing at Sayville; and Archie M., at present attending school. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hulse are devoted Prohibitionists, having given much time and enthusiasm to the work for the past sixteen years, and Mr. Hulse can give good reasons for the faith that is in him. He is now a candidate for the Assembly. Fraternally he is a Mason, and has been for the last fourteen years. He is also a Good Templar. He and his family are worshippers with the Methodists, in which body he is a Trustee, Steward and Class-leader, and has been most of the time for the past forty years. He is also much interested in Sunday-school work. It is most gratifying to see such a courteous Christian gentleman and reliable man at the head of so fine a home as he possesses in this place.

  Hulse Family Properties Mid-19th Century This diagram is based on an undatedAbstract of Title for David Harmon Hulse's property. David Overton Hulse, who died in 1849, apparently subdivided and transferred to his sons the parcel he owned at the intersection of Beaver Dam and Fireplace Neck roads, Brookhaven (then Fire Place), NY. This parcel had been transferred to David O. Hulse by his father, Nehemiah Hulse, on 1 March 1807, shortly before Nehemiah's death The abstract indicates that David Harmon's property had a 95-foot frontage on Beaver Dam road and was 75 feet wide at the back. It is probably the parcel labeled "1" on the diagram If this is correct, then parcel 2 would have been that of his brother, Charles Hallock Hulse; parcel 3 that of Andrew Jackson Hulse, and parcel 4 that of William Warren Hulse. The youngest brother, Van Buren Hulse, is not mentioned in the abstract; he may have been granted another parcel not touching David Harmon Hulses parcel. Since this diagram associates a mid-19th century description with modern property lines, it may not accurately reflect the property lines at the time of the abstract.
