    Name:
    John Gallup came to this country with his mother, two bothers and a sister, Joan, in the ship Griffin, arriving at Boston on the 4th day of Sept., 1633. He married Hannah Lake, daughter of John and Margaret lake, and sister of Elizabeth Read, who married John Winthrop, Jr., Governor of Connecticut. She also came to this country with her mother, in the ship Abigail, arriving Oct. 6, 1635, after a passage of ten weeks.
    He left Boston in 1640, and went to Taunton, then a part of Plymouth Colony, where he remained until 1651, when he removed with his family to New London, where he lived until 1654, when he came to what is now Stonington, then a part of New London, and settled upon a grant of land given him by that town in 1653, in recognition of the distinguished services of himself, and father in the Pequot war.
    He represented the town at the General Court in 1665, 1667. He was also an Indian interpreter. When King Philip's war broke out, although he was over sixty, age had not quenched his martial ardor, New London County having raised seventy men under Capt. John Mason of Norwich, and Capt. George Denison of Stonington. Capt. Gallup joined with them 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 Naragansett, Dec. 19, 1676, within the limits of the present town of South Kingston, R.I. In storming the fort he led his men bravely forward, and was one of the six captains who fell in his memorable fight, and was buried with his fallen comrades in one grave, near the battle ground. A complete victory was gained over the savage foe, but with great loss of life on both sides. The General Court afters made several grants of land to his widow and children, in consideration of the great loss they had sustained by his death and for his public services.
