Note on Husband: John * GALLUP

The patriarch of the Gallup family (in the US) is John Gallop. John Gallop was documented to have arrived in this country on the “Mary & John”. He left England on March 20, 1630, and arrived in Boston where he settled and became one of the first grantees of land in the northern part of town. John Gallop had a wharf and house, and the area was known as Gallop’s Point. Gallop was very important to the development of trade between the Massachusetts Colony and Connecticut and Rhode Island.

 

Christobel Bruschett

 

John Gallop’s wife, Christobel Bruschett did not travel with her husband to Boston. She stayed behind with their four children: John b. abt 1615, Joan b. abt 1618, William b. abt 1622, Nathaniel & Samuel b. abt 16 Aug 1629 (this is a baptism date). They had one other daughter, Frances, who died at a young age. Christobel was the daughter of Edmund Bruschett and Emma Nichols and was probably born in the 1590’s in Dorset, England. Christobel did not want to travel to the Boston... and her husband was ready to return to England. John Gallop had become an important member of the colony and Gov. Winthrop was eager to keep him in America. Gov. Winthrop wrote Rev. John White in Dorchester, England:

 

I have much difficultye to keep John Gallop here by reason of his wife will not come. I marvayle at the woman’s weaknesse. I pray pursuade her 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 childre, if so he desires. It would be about 40 pounds losse to him to come for her.

 

Your assured in the Lord’s worke,

Massachusetts, July 4, 1632

J. Winthrop

 

Christobel was apparently persuaded and landed in Boston harbor on the ship “Griffin” on 4 Sept, 1633. John Gallop, himself, piloted the ship through the harbor through a new channel that he had discovered.

He went first to Dorchester, but was soon after a resident of Boston. He was admitted to the First Church, January 6, 1634. His wife, Christobel, June 22, 1634. He was made a freeman in April of same year. "He was one of the earliest grantees of land at the northerly part of the town, where he had a wharf-right and house." The locality was known by the name of Gallop's point, and was the southeast part of the peninsula, at the north end of the town. We find his name first in the town records in 1636, on page 10 where occurs the following entry: "Item: It is ordered that John Gallop shall remove his payles at his yarde ende within 14 days, and to rainge them even with the comer of his house, for the preserving of the way upon the Sea Bancke." This was probably the origin of Middle street, now known as Hanover street. --- Extract from an article in Boston Transcript, April,13, 1883, by James H. Stark. He owned Gallup's Island, where he had a snug farm, with a meadow on Long Island, a sheep pasture on Nix Mate, and a house in Boston. He was a skilful mariner, well acquainted with the harbor around Boston, and in the habit of making frequent trading expeditions along the coast in his own vessels. One of these expeditions was made forever memorable by the encounter of the murderers of his friend, John Oldham. [See Appendix, p.G6, for a full account of this first naval exploit off Block Island, RI, July, 1636] After the settlement of Rhode Island and Connecticut, his vessel furnished about the only means of communication between the two colonies. At one time there was considerable anxiety in the Rhode Island colony, for John Gallup was delayed in his trip. Soon after, Roger Williams writes Governor Winthrop, beginning in this manner: ".God be praised John Gallop has arrived." He achieved great distinction in September, 1633 by piloting the Griffin, a ship of 300 tons, through a channel he had newly found, when she had on board the Rev. John Cotton, the Rev. Thos. Hooker, Rev. Mr. Stone, and other fathers of New England among her two hundred passengers. Besides these, it is supposed that Mr. Gallop's wife and children were on board. He died in Boston, January 11, 1650. His wife, Christobel, died in Boston, September 27, 1655. His will and that of his wife, gathered from Winthrop's History, are among the earliest on record, and may be found in the Appendix.
