Origins of Hulans in NC
Most of the Hulans descend from a few close relatives in Rowan County NC.The exceptions I know about are of distant French ancestry, and live in the Canadian maritime provinces.What follows (sorry about the length) will be notes I assembled in the fall of 1990.It is also relevant to the Hulen family of Wilkes County NC, and the Hulon family of SC.Feel free not to agree with my conclusions.
172817 March, 400 acres at Hog Pen Meadow on NE side of
Moratuck (=Roanoke) River granted by patent to Osborne Jeffreys,
according to recitation of title in Bertie County NC Deed Book F,
p. 92.[This area was in Northampton County when that county was
formed out of Bertie in 1741.Simon Jeffreys, who had been a
surveyor in Virginia after 1706, had moved to North Carolina
where he died in 1728.His son Osborne sold this tract (to his
half-brother, William Hilliard) in 1740, but owned other land in
the county well into the 1750s.From Northampton County deed
abstracts, Osborne seems to have moved to Granville (now
Franklin) County soon after 1747.]

1781A skirmish took place when American patriots caught two
Loyalist guerrillas at Hulin's Mill on Catfish Creek about 12
miles NNW of Marion Courthouse, SC.[This is near the present
small town of Latta in Dillon County, SC.The only one of the
name in this county is Thomas Hulen in the 1790 census (Prince
George's Parish of Georgetown District, SC); in 1791 and 1792,
Thomas Hulin(e) sold 100 acres bordering Catfish Creek and
another 100 acres not identified; in the 1800 census two families
in Marion County, both on p. 462, are headed by Charles Huland
and Thomas Huland.]The patriots killed one of the Loyalists and
wounded the other in the arm before he escaped into the swamp and
eluded them.The wounded man, who survived and was a respected
Marion County citizen until his death in 1840, was Osborne Lane
(or Lean).Alexander Gregg, History of the Old Cheraws (1867),
p. 359.Most of the houses in the vicinity of Hulin's Mill
belonged to Bass families in 1825, per Robert Mill's map of
Marion County.

179120 January, Samson Bass of Franklin County to Job Selff
of same for 100 pounds, a tract of 100 acres lying on the south
bank of Cedar Creek and on the Beaver Dam Branch, it being part
of a tract of land which Thomas Hulin formerly granted to William
Bass by deed and William Bass to Samson Bass.Franklin County
Deed Book 7, p. 168.[A few pages later, p. 170 and p. 172, part
of Thomas Person's former land is also sold by Samson Bass and
purchased by Job Senff; it is bordered on the east by Col.
Jeffrey's land.]

All of these names (John, Thomas, William and Edward) show
up in the Rowan County Hulin family.None, I admit, is an
unusual name.But Osborne Hulin, a name we find in Rowan County,
is very unusual.[It recurs in the Davidson County TN branch of the Hulan family, who came from Rowan Co. NC.]

Hulin of Marion/Dillon County SC with the one who disappeared
from Franklin County NC between 1766 and 1791.This is probably
also the Thomas who was Loyalist militiaman from the Cheraw
District of SC in 1782.The two extant muster rolls naming him
do not indicate that he died in service; but a widow Hulin
applied to the Royalist authorities for relief because she had
been driven from her home in the Cheraw District.If this was
Thomas' widow, the Thomas and Charles of 1790-1800 are in a later
generation.[I believe the descendants of this SC family spell the name Hulon.]
