Notebooks - Dad's Families No. 7 - Part 2


Branthover, W.R. Revolutionary War Soldiers Buried in Franklin County, Vermont, Georgia, VT: Georgia Historical Society, nd

Rowland Powell b. ca. 1750, d. 1838, bur. Troy Street Cemetery, Tombstone (old) RP 37. Tombstone (new) Rowland Powell died 1838, Revolutionary War Veteran and his wife Mary Janes 1753-1813.  Military Record: Served in Capt. Joshua Hazen's Company, Col. Wood's Regt., which marched to the alarm at Brookfield, Oct. 1780.

References:
1. James Draper, the first of this branch of the family thus far identified with certainty, was probably born in Delaware, or rather in one of "the three counties upon the Delaware," as the area was then called, most likely in either Sussex or Kent County, at a guess about 1746 to 1748. He died in Washington County, Pennsylvania, after 21 Sept. 1782, the date of the later of two militia rolls in which he was listed, and before 18 Sept. 1784, the earliest date shown on any paper in his estate.  He was probably buried in what is now Morris Township in Washington County, possibly in the Upper Ten Mile Presbyterian Church Cemetery. . . . No Draper monument has been found, however, in this or in any of four other cemeteries in the area, Bethel, Old Concord, Mt. Zion and Lower Ten Mile, he last located at Amity. James Draper was very likely a descendant of the Alexander Draper who was born in Bolton parish, Lancashire, England, in 1629 or 1630, and who, with his first wife, Catherine, and his servant, Edmund Furlong, arrived in Maryland not later than 1660, from whence he moved, not later than 1677, to what is now Sussex County, Delaware.  Alexander Draper, in turn is thought to have been a descendant of John and Jennet (Bowker) Draper who lived in Bolton in Lancashire during the mid-1500's. 

[James is not our ancestor.  He is a contemporary of our Thomas Draper and could possibly be a sibling if this line turns out to be ours.

Drapers of Pulaski County, VA. - Draper's Valley, Va., was named after John Draper, Sr., the first white man who settled in that section of the country, about 1765-6. He was b. within the limits of Philadelphia, and was the son of George Draper and Ellen Harden, who came from Ireland. George Draper moved from there to Pattonsburgh on the James River, Va. He went from there to survey some lands in Western Virginia, and was never heard from again; he was thought to have been killed by the Indians. His wife and two children then moved to a place in Montgomery County, Va., called Draper's Meadows.

Children: 
  • John. Moved on his father's death to Draper's Valley, Va.
  • Mary. m. Col. Ingles, and settled at Ingles Ferry, 20 miles east of Draper's Valley. 
[As far as I can tell, we do not descend from this family.]

Drapers of Virginia - Descendants of Thomas Draper - This branch of the Drapers it is impossible to locate correctly, except that it is known that 2. Thomas Draper, who is supposed to have been a son of 1. Peter and Hannah Draper, was of Virginia. Whether Thomas immigrated from England to Virginia, or his father was the emigrant, it is impossible to state. We know, however, that Thomas married Lucy Coleman, and that they moved from Virginia to South Carolina about 1760. Lucy Coleman had a siser whose name was Frances.  . . . 

2. Thomas. (1. Peter?) son of Peter & Hannah Draper m. Lucy Coleman about 175-.

Children:

  • Sarah b. VA Oct. 6, 1758
  • William b. SC Apr. 6, 1761 d. infancy
  • Anna b. SC Aug. 26, 1763
  • James b. SC Feb. 5, 1766
  • Thomas b. SC Sep 15, 1768
  • Philip b. SC June 14, 1771

Galloupe, C.W. Letter to Mrs. Wead, Boston, MA, April 16, 1896. 

My dear Mrs. Wead: -   

I send you with this, the portion of the Gallop Genealogy which relates to your own particular barnch, which I beg you to accept.

In relation to the name of Galloupe I am afraid to say that the change in the spelling, so far as the oupe is concerned, probably arose inadvertently in my own family. You may not know, that, in England the name was spelled Gollop and is now spelled in that way, by the family, (George Tilly Gollop,) who are now and have been for several centuries in possession of Strode, the old Gollop estate. While it is spelled Gollop by one branch in England it is spelled Gallop by another branch and the Harleian Soc., the undoubted authority, give it as Gallop, including both branches, back to the original trunk. I have many interesting accounts but they are too long and tedious to write here. 

 When the second John settled in New London, Conn. he spelled his name Gallop, but the succeeding generations finally settled upon Gallup; - this was an innovation, as, until that time, the name had never been spelled Gallup either in this country or in England and it is not recorded with that spelling, so far as I know, any where in England and never has been. 

The change to oupe came about as follows: - my father, who was somewhat of a careless man in his writing, frequently spelled his name in signing documents Galuop and, as Selectman of Beverly and the incumbent of other offices, it was so often recorded in that manner that it became the recognized spelling of our family name. When I first came to Boston, (in 1843) to make my permanent abiding place, I spelled my name as my father had done, and, as for many years I was the only one in the Directory of that name, my names was universally pronounced in that manner, and I was only known by the name of Galloup. The spelling naturally followed the pronunciation and the name was pronounced Galloupe, only, by all who knew me and I was compelled to add the e. Nearly all the other branches throughout the State adopted the spelling and the name is now, in this vicinity, better known as Galloupe than Gallop much to my regret. I am afraid it is now too extensively in use ever to be changed. 

This, I think, is the origin of the present name of Galloupe; - the name was however, very frequently spelled and pronounced Galloop many years ago. Benadam Gallop, who never emigrated from Boston, spelled and pronounced his name Galloop more than a century ago. The house in which he lived in Hull St., Boston, is still known as the Galloupe House and is one of the interesting historical houses, as it was the head-quarters of General Gage during the Battle of Bunker Hill. 

I once wrote to Mr. Edward McDonald the sexton of Copp's Hill Cemetery who has the care of the house, or, has at least written about it and who is supposed to be on of the authorities, and told him that he was mistaken in the pronunciation of the name and that it should be called the Gallop House. He wrote in reply that the house had been called the Galloupe house for more than seventy-five years as proved by the records.  

Some time after this correspondence, I had occasion to look over the Boston Records and I found that from 1764 to 1768 Benadam's name is recorded and spelled by the authorities of the town as Galloop. He was the owner and occupant of the Galloupe House.

In a letter dated Boston, July 2, 1632; written by Gov. John Winthrop to the Rev. John White of Dorchester, England, Gov. Winthrop referring to John Gallop in the same letter spells the name Gallop, Galloppe. 

I have written you a long dissertation upon the name but you would hardly be likely to get the information from any one else.

I have the name John de Galope back during the time of Henry the 4th as belonging to Normandy, and, also that of a Spanish Knight back during the crusades as Sir Knight Galopo, so you see there were lots of them. 

I have written these matters out somewhat in detail and made a long letter, but I have enough of the family History to take up much longer time that I would like to give it. 

Very truly yours,

C.W. Galloupe 

Holland, Harriet. Genealogy Notes, nd

Mom, dad and I met our cousin in Harriet Holland when we visited Richford, Vermont about 1986. She was volunteering at the local historical society.  We told her we were looking for Lathrops and Cynthia (Powell) Lathrop.  She gave us some books to look at and then disappeared.  Harriet came back in a few minutes with her genealogy notebooks and laid out Cynthia's whole family history for us and let us make some photocopies.

More than thirty years ago in the pages of this journal, John Dorrance Morrell published an article entitled Gallup Origin in England (TAG 36 [196]:108-9). The author listed the Gollop entries from the parish register of St. Mary's Church in Bridport, county Dorset, England, as they appeared in a copy at the Society of Genealogists in London. In 1990, I examined the original register in the Dorset County Record Office in Dorchester and discovered some errors and omissions in the London copy. Later I sent my copy of the Gallop entries to my searcher in Dorset, Miss Daphne A. Hills, and asked her to check to be sure that I had copied them correctly and had not missed any entries. Following are the Gollop and Brushett entries which appear in the earliest existing register for St. Mary's Church in Bridport (Dorset County Record Office No. PE/BT:RE1/1). The spine of this volume reads Bridport/Register/1600-1639.

  • 1625 18 Nov. Francis, son of John Gollop
  • 1626 30 Sept. John, son of Laurence Gollop

There were only two entries for the surname Brushett, including that for Christabell, so it would appear that these two women came from some other parish. I had Miss Hills check the second Bridport Parish Register for any mention of John Gollop, but she found no further entries. 

The most startling discovery was the baptism of a son on 11 July 1630, nearly four months after John Gollop/Gallop had supposedly sailed on the Mary & John for New England. We know from a letter which John Winthrop wrote from Boston to the Rev. John White of Dorchester, Dorset, on 4 July 1632, that Christabell did not come to New England with her husband and was not inclined to join him there. Winthrop wrote: "I have muche difficultye to keepe John Galloppe heere by reason his wife will not come. I mervayle at the womans weaknesse, that she will live miserably with her children there, when she might live comfortably heere with her husband. I praye perswade and further her comminge by all meanes: if she will come let her have the remainder of his wages, if not, let it be bestowed to bringe over his children, for so he desires: it would be above 40£ losse to him to come for her" (Winthrop Papers, Vol. 3, 1631-1637 [Boston, 1943], 87-88).

It is possible that John Gallop did not sail for New England until 1631; but if so, why did he and Christabell name a second son John when the eldest son, who was living as we shall see, was named John? If John Gallop did sail in 1630, it appears that Christabell did not come with him because she was pregnant. Also, she was probably apprehensive about making such a voyage. We can deduce this from the Winthrop letter. It is my theory that John Jr. sailed with his father and that Christabell named her newborn son John thinking she would never see her husband and eldest son again. Regardless of the reason or reasons, this son must have died young, for John Gallop called Samuel and Nathaniel his "two youngest Sonns" in his will dated 20 December 1649. He also mentioned his wife, without naming her, his son John, and his daughter Joane and her sons, John and Joseph Joy. (Suffolk Co., Mass., Probates 1:308.) The will of Christovell Gallop, dated 24 July 1655, mentions her son John and his wife Hannah, her daughter Joan Joy, and her sons Samuel and Nathaniel Gallop (Suffolk Probates 1:136). As John Gallop Jr. married Hannah Lake and had a daughter Hannah born in Boston on 14 August 1644 (NEHGR 8[1854]:38), he has o be the John baptized on 25 January 1620/1.

Miss Hills obtained for me from the Public Record Office in London photocopies of eight wills for Gollops of Dorset, but these documents made no mention of the Gollops of Bridport. No wills for the Bridport Gollops were found, and no other records needed to determine John Gallop's parentage and/or his relationship to the other Gollops in Bridport were located. Thus the family of John Gallop is as follows:

John Gallop/Gollop, mariner, resided in Bridport, county Dorset, England, where he married in St. Mary's Church on 19 January 1617/8 Christabell Brushett. He came to New England in 1630 supposedly on the Mary & John, or possibly in 1631, and died in Boston, Massachusetts, "(11) 1649," ie., January 1649/50 (NEGHR 9[1885]:167). Christabell Gallop came to New England about 1633 and died in Boston on "27:7:55," i.e., 27 September 1655 (NEGHR 10[1856]:219). John Gallop became a freeman on 1 April 1634 (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, ed. Records of the Governor & Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, 5 vols. in 6 [Boston, 1853-54], 1:368), having been admitted to the First Church of Boston on "The 5th of the 11th Moneth 1633," i.e., 5 January 1633/4 (Richard D. Pierce, ed., The Records of the First Church in Boston, 1630-1868, Col. Soc. Mass. Pubs., 39-41 [Boston, 1961], hereafter Boston 1st Ch. Recs., 39:17). "Christovell Gallopp the wife of our brother John Gallopp" was admitted "The 22th of the fourth Moneth 1634," i.e. 22 June 1634 (Boston 1st Ch. Recs., 39:18).
