• 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. See Gallup Genealogy, by Darwin C. Gallup and Josephine Middleton Peck, copies in Paula Curran's Gallup family files.
