Since John Hull was a Quaker and Damaris Cary was a Congregationalist, their marriage was performed "out of meeting." The officiant was Capt. Hull's brother Dr. Tiddeman Hull, then Chief Magistrate and Warden of Jamestown.
When his father's estate was settled, Wager was a minor and out of the colony on a voyage at sea. It was decided that older brother Oliver be appointed his guardian until he return home, and then Wager himself could choose a guardian.
After their marriage, Wager & Mary (Martin) Hull lived in the "Old Hull Place" on Jamestown. Their home was burned by the British soldiers in December 1775. At the same time Mary's father, William Martin, was killed. A few weeks later Wager died, and Mary went to New York City to stay with some of her husband's relatives. She later married Gershom Remington.
