I thought I might Find out where the major trade roughs running out of Newport when he lived and therefor what possible places Bull might have been. Such as did he see the Sistine chapel himself or was that just from the new books and did he go to Africa and where else ? Can many if any similaritys be seem in his work and the art of the places ships whent? I found that he is likly to have traveled beteewn the years of 1753 and 1764some of the destinations for ships from newport during these times were Spain, Russia, Ireland,Dominica,Portugal,Soulth America and all of the west cost of Africa.(1) Hardly a short list however intestingly no ships whent to the Orient at that time.
John Bull is remembered by his son Henry Bull the 4th “ As about 5ft 9 in or 5ft 10 in , light complexion. and light blue eyes, of a hardy and robust constution , and, though good looking was not so handsome as his father in his temper he was quick but not vengeful, his judgment of men and things was sound and comprehensive.

Another similarity that Donald Conroy had with Bull Meechum was the way he pushed his family to be better and tougher. In his eulogy, it states that if Donald Conroy would have seen the tears that his family cried at his death, he would have yelled at them and been embarrassed of the fact that his boys were behaving like girls. They both wanted the best for their family.
