Note on Husband: John * GALLUP

There is a memorial stone standing at White Hall Graveyard in Mystic, New London County, Connecticut for Capt. John Gallup beside his wife's grave, but he is buried here at Smith's Castle Mass Gravesite in Wickford, Washington County, Rhode Island.

 

He was born in Mosterne, Dorsetshire, England and baptized in Bridport, Dorset, England on January 25, 1620/1 as the son of John Gallup/Gallop and his wife Christobel Bruchett. He arrived in Massachusetts on the ship Griffin with his mother and siblings September 4, 1633 three years after his father's arrival in 1630. On July 4, 1632 John Winthrop wrote the following about Christobel Gallup's fear of joining her husband in the colonies:

 

"I have much difficulty to keep John Galloppe here by reason his wife will not come. I marvel at the woman's weakness that she will live miserably with her children there, when she might live comfortably here with her husband. I pray persuade and further her coming by all means: if she will come let her have the remainder of his wages, if not, let it be bestowed to bring over his children, for so he desires: it would be above £40 loss to him to come for her."

 

John Gallup married Hannah Anna Lake 1643 in Boston. On February 25, 1650/1 John Gallup and his wife applied for house lots in New London, Connecticut.

 

In 1651; "On the town street east of Stallion & Bayley, a lot was laid out to John Gallup, eight acres in the heart of town covering the space east of the town street to the beach and extending north from State Street to Federal."

 

From the colonial records of Hartford February 9, 1652; "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." And the following year; "Hath given him a further addition to his land at Mistick, 150 acres, which he accepts and is satisfyde for what lands he formerly laide claim unto upon the general neck as a gift of his father's, given by General Stoughton after Pequot war." He moved to the east side of the Mystic river after this large grant of land. "He was one of the early settlers of Stonington; his homestead was bounded on the west by Mystic river, south by Captain Stanton's place and east by Captain Denison's land."

 

In 1665 he represented the town of Stonington at the General Court. He was an Indian interpreter from 1665-1675. In 1667 he again represented the town of Stonington at the General Court. He is found on the Connecticut census of 1669 living in Stonington, Connecticut.

 

In 1671 he was granted 100 acres of land by the General Court of Connecticut. "With Massachusetts forces he was in the Pequot War and bore himself so bravely that the General Court of Connecticut gave him a grant of 100 acres of land."

 

January 1675 he was made Captain of the 1st Company of the Connecticut Regiment where he fought in King Phillip's War. In February 1675 in Narragansett, now South Kingston, Rhode Island having raised 70 men under Captain John Mason of Norwich, Captain John Gallup joined with him at the head of the Mohegans. On December 19, 1675 he was killed along with ten men of his company in the Great Swamp Fight, fought in Narragansett, Washington, Rhode Island.

 

The division of his estate by order of the County Court for Stonington, New London, Connecticut: "Widow £100; son John £137; Benadam £90; to William and Samuel each £89; to five daughters each £70; Widow Hannah also a large grant of land."

 

Although he was buried where he died in Wickford, Washington County, Rhode Island, a memorial was erected at Whitehall Burial Ground. His wife and some of his children are buried at Whitehall.

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 Captain John Mason of Norwich, Captain Gallup jaoined 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. Capt. Gallup was a brave and valuable officer and was loved and respected by his men.

Gal lup, John in passing by water from Connecticut to Boston, discovered John Oldham's vessel filled with Indians, and several Indians in a canoe carrying goods from the vessel—he hailed them, but received no answer. He at once suspected they had murdered Mr. Oldham; he bore down upon them, and though he had but three with him, two of them boys, yet being a bold and daring man, he fired duck shot so fast and thick, that the deck was soon cleared. Some of the Indians jumped overboard, others crowded below, and some hid under the hatches; but Capt. Gallup run down with a brisk gale upon her quarter, and gave the vessel so severe a shock, that those who leaped overboard were drowned. He repeated running against the vessel twice or thrice, and upon the third shock, other Indians leaped into the water and were drowned. He then boarded the vessel, and bound two of them, and threw one overboard;—two or three were in a small room in the cabin, armed–with swords—these he could not drive out—(he probably fastened them in)—and he found on board the corpse of Mr. Oldham, with his head split and his body badly bruised and mangled; he cast the body into the sea, and took Mr. Oldham's vessel in tow, after stripping off her rigging, and put what few valuables the Indians had left, on board of his vessel; he set sail, but night coming on and a high wind, she was set adrift, with the Indians on board; she of course soon went to pieces- This was unquestionably the first man by the name of Gallup that came into the colony, and he proved himself a brave ancestor to those now in the country.—Capt. Gallup was educated in a military school in Holland, and rumor has said he was in Holland with Major Mason, and that they were intimate friends after they arrived in this country.—Colony Rec. and Dr. Trumbull.

John Gallup, son of John and Christobel Gallup, was born in England, and came to this country in 1633.

 

He married in 1643, at Boston, Hannah Lake, daughter of John and Margaret Lake. Madam Margaret Lake was the daughter of Edmund Read, Esq., of Wickford, Essex county, England, and sister of Elizabeth Read, who married John Winthrop, jr., Governor of Connecticut.

 

In early life John 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.

 

On 30 June 1652, Connecticut granted 300 acres east of William Chesebrough's to Governor John Haynes. New London granted Sixpenny Island in Mystic River to John Gallup, Robert Hempstead, and John Stebbins.

 

Having these 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 byCaptain 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.

 

On 16 October 1657, Captain George Denison was sent to Boston with the petition of the settlers requesting that they be granted "the Liberties and privileges of a Township" in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was signed by George Denison, Walter Palmer, John Gallup, William Thoompson, and Thomas Stanton, "for the rest of the Inhabitants and with their consent." George Denison was chosen to carry the petition not only because he was a disinguished veteran of Cromwell's "Ironsides"; but his brother, Daniel Denison, was husband of Patience Dudley, the daughter of the late Colonial Governor of Massachusetts, Thomas Dudley . The Massachusetts magistrates received Densison warmly; however, following the dictates of intercolonial politics, they discreetly advised the petitioners to set up their own local government. Massachusetts used the petition to make their case regarding claims to the disputed area, and on 21 October 1657, Massachusetts made formal claim at Hartford to land east of the Pequot (Thames) River. The area which is now Stonington became part of Massachusetts for a period of four years until 1662 when, under the Charter of King Charles II, the boundaries were fixed and Pawcatuck country, rechristened Stonington, was returned to Connecticut.

 

In the fall of 1664/5 the peace of Stonington was disturbed by a pair of rowdy womanizers, John Carr from Rhode Island, and his pal John Ashcroft. John Carr was sued by George Denison for "engaging the affections of his daughter Ann without leave" and for stealing a hat, belt, and silver spoon. The culprit retracted and was fined 34 pounds, 7s. 5d., a good round sum in those days. But on 10 December 1664, Carr and Ashcroft were arrested for engaging in a fight with John Gallup(who also had some pretty daughters); and the next year the pair were again arraigned for "endeavoring to entice women from their husbands." Carr later was jailed in Rhode Island, but in 1670 he escaped with an Indian companion and fled to the Narragansetts.

 

He represented the town at the General Court in 1665 and 1667. On 2 March 1669, John was elected as Surveyor of Stonington. He was also an Indian interpreter.

 

1675: John Gallup participated and was killed in the Great Swamp Fight battleground (King Phillip's War) in Narragansett, Rhode Island. 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 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. Capt. Gallup was a brave and valuable officer and was loved and respected by his men.

 

John's body was buried in a mass grave near the site of the Great Swamp Fight where he died during the battle. A memorial stone was erected for him in the Whitehall Graveyard in Mystic, Connecticut, where his wife, Hannah, is buried.

 

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

Second Letter of Joseph Dudley Mr Smith's, 21, 10, 1675

 

May it please your honour

 

The comming of the Connecticut force to Petaquamscott, and surprisal os six and slaughter of five on Friday night, Saturday we marched towards Petaquamscott, though in snow, and in conjunction about midnight or later, we advanced: Capt. Mosley led the van, after him Massachusetts, and Plimouth and Connecticut in the rear; a tedious march in the snow, without intermission, brought us about two of the clock afternoon, to the entrance of the swamp, by the help of Indian Peter, who dealt faithfully with us; our men, with great courage, entered the swamp about twenty rods; within the cedar swamp we found some hundreds of wigwams, forted in with a breastwork and flankered, and many small blockhouses up and down, round about; they entertained us with a fierce fight, and many thousand shot, for about an hour, when our men valiantly scaled the fort, beat them thence, and from the blockhouses. In which action we lost Capt. Johnson, Capt. Danforth, and Capt. Gardiner, and their lieutenants disabled, Capt. Marshall also slain; Capt Seely, Capt. Mason, disabled, and many other officers, insomuch that, by a fresh assault and recruit powder from their store, the Indians fell on again, recarried and beat us out of, the fort, but by the great resolution and courage of the General and Major, we reinforced, and very hardly entered the fort again, and fired the wigwams, with many living and dead persons in them, great piles of meat and heaps of corn, the ground not permitting burial of their store, were consumed; the number of their dead, we generally suppose the enemy lost at least two hundred men; Capt. Mosely counted in one corner of the fort sixty four men; Capt. Goram reckoned 150 at least; But, O! Sir, mine heart bleeds to give your honor an account of our lost men, but especially our resolute Captains, as by account inclosed, and yet not so many, but we admire there remained any to return, a captive women, well known to Mr. Smith, informing that there were three thousand five hundred men engaging us and about a mile distant a thousand in reserve, to whom if God had so pleased, we had but been a morsel, after so much disablement: she informeth, that one of their sagamores was slain and their powder spent, causing their retreat, and that they are in a distressed condition for food and houses, that one Joshua Tift, an Englishman, is their encourager and conducter. Philip was seen by one, credilbly informing us, under a strong guard.

 

After our wounds were dressed, we drew up for a march, not able to abide the field in the storm, and weary, about two of the clock, obtained our quarters, with our dead and wounded, only the General, Ministers, and some other persons of the guard, going to head a small swamp, lost our way, and returned again to the evening quarters, a wonder we were not prey to them, and, after at least thirty miles marching up and down, in the morning, recovered our quarters, and had it not been for the arrival of Goodale next morning, the whole camp had perished; The whole army, especially Connecticut, is much disabled and unwilling to march, with tedious storms, and no lodgings, and frozen and swollen limbs, Major Treat importunate to return to at least Stonington; Our dead and wounded are about two hundred, disabled as many; the want of officers, the consideration whereof the Genreal commends to your honer, forbids any action at present, and we fear whether Connecticut will comply, at last, to any action. We are endeavoring, by good keeping and billetting oue men at several quarters, and, if possible removel of our wounded to Rhode Isalnd, to recover the spirit of our soldiers, and shall be diligent to find and understand the removals on other action of the enemy, if God please to give us advantage against them.

As we compleat the account of dead, now in doing, The Council is of the mind, without recruit of men we shall not be able to engage themain body. I give your honor hearty thanks

 

for your kind lines, of which

 

I am not worthy

I am Sir, your honors

 

humble servant

 

Joseph Dudley

Since the writing of these lines, the General and Council have jointly concluded to abide on the place, notwithstanding the desire of Connecticut, only entreat that a supply of 200 may be sent us, with supply of commanders; and, whereas we are forced to garrison our quarters with at least one hundred, three hundred men, upon joint account of colonies, will serve, and no less, to effect the design. This is by order of the council.

 

Blunderbusses, and hand grenadoes, and armour, if it may, and at least two armourers to mend arms.

Letter of Captain Oliver Narragansett 26th 11th month 1675

 

After a tedious march in a bitter cold that followed the Dec. 12th , we hoped our pilot would have led us to Ponham by break of day, but so it came to pass we were misled and so missed a good opportunity. Dec. 13th we came to Mr Smith's, and that day took 35 prisoners. Dec 14th , our General went out with a horse and foot, I with my company was kept to garrison. I sent out 30 of my men to scout abroad, who killed two Indians and brought in 4 prisoners, one of which was beheaded. Our amy came home at night, killed 7 and brought in 9 more, young and old. Dec 15th , came in John, a rogue, with pretense of peace, and was dismissed with this errand, that we might speak with Sachems. That evening, ho not being gone a quarter of an hour, his company that lay hid behind a hill killed two Salem men within a mile from our quarters, and wounded a third that he is dead. And at a house three miles off where I had 10 men, they killed 2 of them. Instantly, Capt. Mosely, myself and Capt Gardner were sent to fetch in Major Appleton's company that kept 3 miles and a half off, and coming, they lay behind a stone wall and fired on us in sight of the garrison. We killed the captain that killed one of the Salem men, and had his cap on. That night they burned Jerry Bull's house, and killed 17. Dec. 16th came that news. Dec 17th came news that Connecticut forces were at Petasquamscot, and had killed 4 Indians and took 6 prisoners. That day we sold Capt. Davenport 47 Indians, young and old for 80l. in money. Dec 18th we marched to Petaquamscot with all our forces, only a garrison left; that night very stormy; we lay, one thousand, in the open field that long night. In the morning, Dec. 19th , Lord's day, at 5 o'clock we marched. Between 12 and 1 we came up with the enemy, and had a sore fight three hours. We lost, that are now dead, about 68, and had 150 wounded, many of which recovered. That long snowy cold night we had about 18 miles to our quarters, with about 210 dead and wounded. We left 8 dead in the fort. We had but 12 dead when we came to the swamp, besides the 8 we left. Many died by the way, and as soon as they we brought in, so that Dec. 20th we buried in a grave 34, next day 4, next day 2, and none since. Eight died at Rhode Island, 1 at Petaquamscot, 2 lost in the woods and killed Dec. 20, as we heard since; some say two more died. By the best intelligence, we killed 300 fighting men; prisoners we took, say 350, and above 300 women and children. We burnt above 500 houses, left but 9, burnt all their corn, that was in baskets, great store. One signal mercy that night, not to be forgotten, viz. That when we drew off, with so many dead and wounded, they did not pursue us, which the young men would have done, but the sachems would not consent; they had but ten pounds of powder let. Our General, with about 40, lost our way, and wandered till 7 o'clock in the morning, before we came to our quarters. We thought we were within 2 miles of the enemy again, but God kept us; to him be the glory. We have killed now and then 1 since, and burnt 200 wigwams more; we killed 9 last Tuesday. We fetch in their corn daily and that undoes them. This is, as nearly as I can, a true relation. I read the narrative to my officers in my tent, who all assent to the truth of it. Mohegans and Pequods proved very false, fired into the air, and sent word before they came they would so, but got much plunder, guns and kettles. A great part of what is written was attested by Joshua Teffe, who married an Indian woman, a Wampanoag. He shot 20 times at us in the swamp, was taken at Providence Jan'y 14, brought to us the 16th, executed the 18th . A sad wretch, he never heard a sermon but once these 14 years. His father, going to recall him lost his head and lies unburied.

Of the Plymouth forces, Major Bradford, commander, and Benjamin Church of the General's staff were severely wounded, and of the soldiers the killed and wounded in both companies were twenty, by best accounts.

 

The grave of the forty buried at Wickford was marked by a tree called the "grave appletree", which was blown down in tha gale of September, 1815. The wounded were sent in vessels to Rhode Isalnd and well cared for.

 

The conduct of the Mohegan and Pequod allies is represented by Capt. Oliver as false, they firing in the air, but securing much plunder. I (George Madison Bodge) have found no other notice of their part in the batttle.

I found your Great Swamp Fight page. I was actually looking for the wood carving of Isaac Johnson (an ancestor) when a letter by Joseph DUDLEY caught my eye. I have an ancestor Joseph DUDLEY. Don't know much about him. I suspect he was born in New Haven Colony in 1643, married Ann ROBINSON in 1670, and died 1712 (all unconfirmed). Do you know if it is the same guy? Can you suggest a reference for additional info? Peter Blood Germantown MD
