    2 John2 Gallup, {John1) son of John and Christobel Gallup, was born in England, and came to this country in 1633. …

    In early life he showed signs of the bravery which afterwards distinguished him as an Indian warrior. It is supposed he was with his father and assisted him in the capture of John Oldham's vessel, off Block Island. With Massachusetts forces he engaged with his father in the Pequot war and bore himself so bravely that the General Court of Connecticut in 1671 gave him a grant of 100 acres of land. He came to New London in 1650 or '51. … Having … large grants of land he removed with his family in 1654 to the east side of the Mystic river, now Stonington, where he had taken up the land granted him. He was one of the early settlers of that town. His homestead place was bounded on the west by Mystic river, south by Captain Stanton's homestead place and Captain Denison's land, east by Denison's land and the town lots, and on the north by Robert Park's land. He represented the town at the General Court in 1665 and 1667. He was also an Indian interpreter. When King Philip's war broke out, although he was over sixty [he was about 54], age had not quenched his martial ardor. New London county having raised seventy men under Captain John Mason of Norwich, Captain Gallup joined with him at the head of the Mohegans. These troops forming a junction with those of the other colonies, were engaged in the fearful swamp fight at Narragansett, December 19, 1675, (within the limits of the present town of South Kingston, R. I.) In storming this fort he led his men bravely forward and was one of the six captains who fell in this memorable fight. A complete victory was here gained over the savage foe, but with great loss of life on both sides. …

    The division made of his estate by order of the County Court was to the widow, £100; to the oldest son John, £137; to Benadam, £90; to William and Samuel, each £89; to the five daughters, £70 each. Mrs. Hannah Gallup had also a large grant of land from the General Court in consideration of her great loss."
