General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Cagswell Gallup
He was born in Voluntown, Connecticut; moved to McKean County, Pennsylvania, about 1815, and there died, a farmer, founding a numerous family.
He was among the first settlers of McKean County, Pennsylvania. He was a native of Connecticut, where he married, and where three of his children were born. He located in Norwich township, bought a tract of land and built the first saw-- and grist-mill on Potato creek. When he came to this county it was in the green woods, and the country was infested with wild animals. At one time, when on his way to this part of the country with a load of mill-iron and a quantity of pork, he was fiercely attacked by a pack of ravenous wolves. Being far from any assistance he was compelled, in self-preservation, to build fires around his team to keep the wolves from devouring the whole outfit.
