----- Wills of John and Christobel Gallup -----

Handed down for generations within the ancestral line of Winfield Dyer Gallup, the ancient note (see below) tells us this carving set came by way of our Mayflower Pilgrim ancestors. Lynn Gallup was given it by Gretchen (Miller) Wade who received it from her mother Lois who was given it by her mother Blanche, Winfield Gallup's sister. Blanche certainly must have gotten it from her mother, Eliza Dingman, and it is Eliza's line which goes back to our Mayflower ancestors through her mother, Rebecca Macy.

These are the markings on the above carving knife; I have been unable to learn anything about them.

This note has been passed down along with the carving set for an unknown number of generations.

Tureen or Casserole Dish handed down from Eliza (Dingman) Gallup. According to the note attached to it (see below), it was 111 years old in 1959 (161 years old at this writing in 2009).  This is the only information about it we have. Eliza's mother was Rebecca Macy who was the connection into the Mayflower line via the Nantucket settlers. It is at least possible that Eliza acquired this piece of English pottery from her  mother along with the carving set (above).

Location of the Amos Gallup House
The intersection of 10 and 2A is the approximate center of the town of Jefferson, NY.
The "Evergreen Cemetery" is where many Gallup kinfolk are buried including Amos Gallup.

Note the farm of J. Lorenzo Miles along the right edge of Wayland town (the black outlined square). This is where the family settled when they returned to Michigan after having left there (by covered wagon) some years earlier to try homesteading in Illinois (which didn't work out).

This ancestry has been refuted in modern times - Please click here for the Appendix page which shows the problem with it: ===>
