The Hulen Families of Boone County, Missouri

Four households from Kentucky, Indiana and Randolph County around Sturgeon, Centralia and Columbia · 8 people named in the record

The 1882 History of Boone County sketches four Hulen households and never says how one is related to another, so each is kept apart here. John C. and Sallie (Bruton) Hulen came from Kentucky in 1843; their son C. B. Hulen, born in Bath County in 1833, dealt in mules and horses from a farm three miles south of Sturgeon, and their daughter Sallie A. married William Thomas Summers in 1855. John A. Hulen, a native of Indiana, came to Missouri in 1835; his only son, Columbus D. Hulen, graduated from the State University in 1871 and farmed 120 acres, and a daughter, Mary, married Thomas Whittle in 1857. Taylor H. Hulen, who came from Kentucky in 1832, farmed until 1880 and then built a livery stable at Centralia, and Aaron L. Hulen moved from Monroe County in 1882 and set up a broom factory west of Centralia. Every fact below is cited to a public-domain Boone County history.
