General Notes: Husband - Capt. John Gallup

---

He came to America from the parish of Nosterne, county Dorset, England, in the year 1630. He sailed from Plymouth, England, March 20, 1630, in the ship "Mary and John," arriving at Nantasket, later Hull, May 30. His wife and children came in 1633. He settled first at Dorchester, but was soon afterward a resident of Boston. He was a skillful, fearless mariner, and achieved great distinction by piloting safely through a newly found channel the ship "Griffin," having on board Rev. John Cotton, Rev. Thomas Hooker, Rev. Mr. Stone and two hundred others. His most notable adventure was an encounter with a boatload of Indians, whom he destroyed and captured off Block Island, with the aid of his two sons and a hired man. This has been called the first naval battle on the Atlantic coast, and gave Captain Gallup colonial, and later national, reputation. It was one of the first skirmishes of the great Pequot war.
