    Notes:
    John settled in Stonington, CT on lands granted by the General Court to his father for services in the Indian Wars. He participated in King Philips War and was with his father in the Swamp fight at Narragansett. He was a renouned Indian interpreter. He represented Stonington in General Court 1685, 1696-1698.

    Shortly before the turn of the 18th century, John and his six sons were granted land in the town of Plainfield, CT. In the ensuring years, the area was claimed and battled over by many factions, resulting in numberous petitions to the General Court for settlement of the claims and counter claims. The Gallup brothers stood firm and fought determinedly for their claims, with resulting bitterness. In 1706, upon petition, a commission finally compromised the differences and a formal allotment of lands was made.

Generation: 3
  1. John GALLUP, Sr. b. ABT. 1615, England; d. 19 Dec 1676, Narragansett, Rhode Island.

    Notes:
    John was baptized on January 25, 1620 at St. Mary's Parish, Bridport, Co. Dorset, England.

    John came to Boston in 1633 with his parents, 3 brothers, and a sister (Joan) on the ship "Griffin". They arrived at Boston on September 4, 1633 His father, John, Sr., was a ship captain and trader and John, Jr., was with him on his little sloop when they recaptured the ship of John Oldham who had been killed by the Block Island Indians - the first naval battle in New England waters and an incident leading to the Pequot War. He married Hannah Lake, niece of Gov. Winthrop's wife, and no doubt this connection brought him to New London. (The Stonington Chronology, 1649-1976, by Williams Haynes).

    He left Boston in 1640, went to Taunton, then a part of Plymouth Colony, where he remained until 1651, when he moved with his family to New London, where he lived until 1654, when he came to what is now Stonington. Stonington was then a part of New London. He settled upon a grant of land given him by that town in 1653 in recognition of the distinguished services of himself and his father in the Pequot war. He land granted him was named "Whitehall", located between Old Mystic and Mystic. The Whitehall cemetery is located there today.

    In the colonial records at Hartford is found: "February 9, 1652-3, John Gallup in consideration and with respect unto the services his father hath done for the country, hath given him up the river of Mistick, which side he will 300 acres of upland." The following year he was given an additional 150 acres "which he accepts of and acknkowledgeth himself satisfyde for what lands he formerly laide claim unto upon the general neck as a gift of his father's, which as he saith was given to his father by General Stoughton after the Pequott war." He moved with his family to the east side of the Mystic River (now Stonington) with his family in 1654. He was one of the early settlers.

    He was also an Indian interpreter. When King Philip's war broke out, although he was over 60, age had not quenched his martial ardor. Gallup joined up with Capt. John Mason of Norwich, and Capt. George Denison of Stonington, at the head of the Mohegans. These troops formed a junction with those of the other colonies, and engaged in the fearful swamp fight at Narragansett on December 19, 1676, within the limits of what is now South Kingston, RI. In storming the fort, he led his men bravely forward and was one of the six captains who fell in this memorable fight. He ws buried with his fallen comrades in one grave near the battle ground. The Government provided land grants to the widows and children in recognition of their service and sacrifice. There is a marker erected to him at Whitehall Cemetery, Mystic, CT. (See photo)

    Notes:

Also on the ship was Hannah's aunt (her mother's sister), Elizabeth (Read) Winthrop, the new wife of Governor John Winthrop, Jr. A son was left in England who never cam to America.
