John Gallop set sail for Boston on March 20, 1630 on the MARY and JOHN, part of the Winthrop Fleet, captained by Thomas Chubb. The reason for his departure is speculation; conceivable he may have wished to explore the possibilities of settling in New England. Upon arriving in New England, John Gallop settled in Boston and was one the earliest grantees of land in the northern part of town, where he had wharf rights and a house. The locality was known as Gallop's Point and was the southeast part of the peninsular. He acquired a ship and was engaged in coastal trade and , on occasion, served as pilot for ships entering Boston harbor.

His wife and children had not accompanied him on his trip to the New World. Apparently Christobel hesitated to undertake a long and uncertain sea voyage to an undisclosed country, in spite of urgent encouragement by her husband. "John Gallop was so concerned that he contemplated returning to England. he had become an important man in the colony and this disturbed Governor Winthrop who wrote to the great Puritan leader, the Rev. John White in Dorchester:

I have much difficultye to keep John Gallop here by reason of his wife will not come.

I marvayle at the woman's weaknesse. I pray pursuade her and further her coming by all means. If she will come, let her have the remainder of his wages; if not, let it be bestowed to bring over his childre, if so he desires. It would be about 40 pounds losse to him to come for her.

Your assured in the Lord's worke,

Massachusetts, July 4, 1632

J. Winthrop.

The Rev. Mr. White evidently persuaded Mrs. Gallop and successfully furthered her coming. She and the children arrived on Sept. 4, 1633 on the GRIFFIN, after an eight weeks' crossing; her husband piloted the ship into Boston Harbor thru a new channel he had discovered, the channel running close by Lovell's Island, a quarter of a mile east of his Gallop's Island. John Gallop was a pioneer in the vitally important coastal trade between Massachusetts, Rhode island and Connecticut. On Dec. 6, 1632, Gallop and his vessel were engaged by the Massachusetts Magistrates for the first naval task force sent out by any New England Colony.

He arrived in this country with his mother, brothers, and sister, Joan on Sept. 4, 1633. Early on, he engaged in the coastwise trade with his father. in 1637, he took part in the Pequot War with Massachusetts forces.

 Transcription of a letter written by Edith Gallup Gage to her mother, Phebe Montanye Gallup.

October 23, 1907

Dear Mother:

My twins are 13 years old today and a great deal of help to me. Monday night after school the girls washed a large washing besides getting supper. (I don't pretend to do anything only what I can do sitting down.) Tuesday morning they rinsed and starch the clothes done, did the morning work even to making beds and mopping and got things ready for dinner. They backed (2 apple pies) and got to school in time they were up at half past four. Orlando killed 5 pigs yesterday, 4 for market. They only dressed 102 lbs. a price. We kept one, sold them at Esperance and got 9 cents a lbs. They were late pigs, the last of April and only skim milk, so it was not so bad. He thrashed in the afternoon, earning $5 and moved his machine today. He is digging potatoes for us. He won't have any nuts to send to send you as the squirrels and friends of ours are taking them when the children are gone. Orlando is away thrashing and I can't stop them. I can only teeter backward and forward when I try to walk so I don't try much any more, the sides, back, and belly burns like fire when I try although the flesh feels ice cold, Orlando says, when you touch it. I do not feel heat nor cold just comfortable when I lay still that is something to be thankful and I do not worry. It will be and is all for the best.

I hope you are better. Here is a slip of a pretty red geranium. It is near time for the mail so I must quit with love to all.

Edith
