William T. Stull was born in Fayette County, PA, to John Stull and Thankful Tissue Stull and was the eldest of only five children who survived to adulthood. Family trees which reflect a greater number of children of John and Thankful are unsubstantiated and extremely doubtful. While 3 other children are possible as shown in census reports, they are as yet unconfirmed and definitely were not living by 1864 (and had no known heirs in 1864) when the children (William, Huldah, and Paul) and grandchildren (Hester's children--Susan Ream Forespring, Albert Ream, Huldah Ream, and Rebecca Ream) of John and Thankful began to transfer their parcels of land inherited from Thankful Stull to Elizabeth Stull Moon.
Many trees erroneously show John Stull, who married Susan Kidd, as a child of John and Thankful. But he was their nephew, the son of Jacob and Mary Harris Stull who had moved to Juda, WI. The probate records of Jacob Stull from Green County, WI, confirm this relationship.
On November 11, 1847, William married Mary Rowan in Fayette County, PA, where she bore their eldest children, John R. Stull and Elijah Rowan Stull. Infant John died in PA in 1850 and is buried in Mill Run cemetery. In 1852, the family moved to Iowa and located near first cousin, John Stull.
Elijah was raised in Iowa and is only one of three children to have survived to raise families. Fillmore Stull, Sr., and Laura L. Stull Hancock are the other two children to survive to adulthood. Seven other children born in Iowa died there in the 1860s and 1870s, most of diptheria. The names of these seven, who are interred in the family plot in Rossville, IA, appear on the family memorial. Elijah is also buried in this cemetery, but without a marker. The existence of a twelfth child, David Stull, is noted in the 1882 biography of William T. Stull, but his dates and locations of birth and death are yet undiscovered.
As a soldier in the Union Army with the Iowa 27th, William T. Stull participated in most of the battles and was discharged without serious injury.
William T. Stull died in Rossville on August 20, 1901. His wife Mary Rowan Stull predeceased him on February 10, 1889.
The following biography is from the History of Allamakee County, IA, 1882, W.E. Alexander, Sioux City, Iowa: Western Publishing Co., 1882:
"Wm. T. Stull, P.O. Rossville, farmer, sec 26; son of John and Thankfull Stull; was born in 1819 in Fayette Co., Pennsylvania, immigrated to Iowa in 1852, locating in this county, he being among the early settlers. Mr. S. enlisted in Co. I, 27th Inf., in August, 1862, serving till the close of the war in 1865. He participated in most all of the battles in which the company was engaged, among which were Pleasant Hill, La.; Yellow Bayou, Nashville, Tennessee; also at the capture of Fort Blakely, Spanish Fort, Mobile, Ala.; after which he was discharged and returned. Mr. S. was married to Miss Mary Rowan in 1847, in Pa. They have three children, Elijah, Fillmore and Laura, and have lost nine, John, Nathaniel, William, Luella J., Emma, Mary E., Charles S., Frank and David: most of whom died of diphtheria. Mr. S. owns a farm of one hundred and sixty-five acres, valued at $25 per acre."

"STULL- At his residence one mile south west of Rossville, Allamakee county, Iowa, August 20, 1901, William T. Stull, aged 81 years, 11 months and 20 days.
He was born August 30, 1819, in Fayette county, Pa. He was married to Miss Mary Rowan, Nov. 11, 1847, who died thirteen years ago. They came to this county in 1852 and for almost half a century he lived on the old homestead where he died.
He was the father of twelve children, three of whom, Elijah of Monona, Fillmore of Waukon, and Mrs. Laura Stull Hancock of Rossville, survive him. He was converted in early manhood and soon after coming to Iowa became and continued a faithful, earnest member of the Rossville Baptist church till death.
He enlisted in Co. I, 27th Ia. Inf., August 15, 1862, and served his country faithfully and well till mustered out August 8, 1865. Interesting is the fact that he enlisted in Co. I 39 years ago this month at the age of 42 years, in the same building in which his funeral was held last Wednesday, a banquet being given to the soldiers in the room at the same time, most of the Allamakee members of the company being present at the time.
The funeral was held in the Baptist church, Rossville, on the 21st, Rev. W. C. Stewart of Waukon officiating. He had for years been member of John J. Stillman Post, G.A.R., of Waukon, and the following comrades attended the funeral: F. H. Robbins, G. W. Sherman, T. W. David, R. Wampler, David Walker, G. W. Taylor, A. M. May, Chas. Goeke, W. C. Stewart, David Douglass, A. E. Colgrove, Jas. Briar."

"On the 30th of November, 1893, Mr. Hancock was united in marriage to Miss Laura M. Stull, who was born in Jefferson Township, near Rossville, a daughter of William T. and Mary (Rowan) Stull, natives of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the former born August 30, 1819, and the latter May 17, 1830. They came from that state to Iowa in the spring of 1852 and located first just south of Rossville, in Paint Creek township, taking up government land. This they sold after a number of years and located on a farm southwest of Rossville, in Jefferson township, upon which both passed away, the father dying August 20, 1901, and the mother February 10, 1889. During the Civil War William T. Stull served as a member of Company I, Twenty-Seventh Iowa Volunteers, and saw a great deal of active service, but was never wounded nor confined in a hospital."
