Notes:
Levi Gallup enlisted [in the Continental Army] on November 7th 1782 and served with the companies of Capt. Prentice and Capt. William Stanton, of Col. McClellan's Regiment of Militia, State of Connecticut in 1782. He was discharged Jan. 5, 1783. In about 1797 Levi and his wife Abigail removed to Albany County, NY. From there he was recorded as an early settler of Jefferson in "The Records of Henry Cady of Schoharie, N.Y" (Historical Room of the Middleburgh Library) where he is listed as having come there in 1807. (However, the Gallup Genealogy records that their son Silas "moved to Jefferson, NY, with parents in 1806 and operated a 430-acre farm there.") Levi was also listed as being in Highway District #2 in 1811. He was an Overseer of the Poor in the year of 1814. Six children were born to this couple and today there are his descendants living within the town of Jefferson. Levi died at the age of 89 years 10 months and 24 days. Abigail died in the 68th year of her life. Both are buried in the Old Jefferson Cemetery. (Extracted by Judy Lockwood - Loveland Colorado, May 2000 from "A History of the Town of Jefferson 1771 - 1976" by Mildred L. Bailey) A family bible purchased by Levi is in possession of Rebecca Gallup, his 4th great granddaughter.
Notes:
Eugene Bouton recorded Abigail as being born in 1758.
Notes:
Samuel, Jr. was called "Captain" and he is recorded as being a yeoman (farmer) and as having been a "Fence Viewer and Surveyor" for Roxbury, a significant and responsible duty in those times. He and his son , Obadiah, became members of "The Susquehanna Company" and as owners of one right, or share, each, their names appear among the names of the grantees in the Indian deed of July 11, 1754. His son and grandsons figured prominently in Wyoming Valley Massacre of July 3rd, 1778. Samuel's death date has also been reported as 27 Mar 1756 but this probably just a typographical error for "May".
Notes:
Hannah's place of birth is uncertain. Some sources give "Suffolk Co., Massachusetts" and others give "Norwich, New London Co., Connecticut". Since her mother was born and died in Roxbury, Suffolk Co., MA, it is the more likely that Hannah was born there.
Notes:
That John Packer and Hannah Avery were the parents of Abigail Packer is supported by the fact that their daughter, Freelove Packer, married George Gallup, Levi's brother. Since Abigail and Freelove are both documented by Darwin C. Gallup as has having come from Groton, Conn., and Groton was an important commercial center for the Gallups they probably all knew each other.
Notes:
Hannah's birth date has also been reported as 10 Jan 1727.
Notes:
The Gallup Genealogy records that Levi and Jemima removed to Albany Co., NY, and about 1806 settled at Jefferson, Schoharie Co., NY. However, there is no evidence that Jemima's family ever removed to Jefferson so we are left to wonder about Jemima's status in 1806 when Levi's family removed to Jefferson. Jemima would have been only fourteen years old, quite young to have already been married to Levi, and Levi himself would have been only seventeen. Had she not been married to Levi, what circumstances existed with the Jemima's parents (Joshua Gallup and Anna Hinckley) causing them to give permission for their young daughter to go to Jefferson, a long way from Albany in those times?
