Josiah GALLUP


Josiah was the son of Benadam Gallup and Hannah Avery (Benadam, Benadam, John, John) and was born 29 Jan 1761 in Groton, New London, MA [Gallup (2009) Genealogy, p. 92, 180.] He died at age 65 on 29 Jan 1826.

Josiah lost 4 siblings to typhoid fever. Those children are buried here in the Gallup graveyard. Brian Zoldak photographed them all.

Before he did,  I sat on the ground at a Gallup reunion and still couldn't read them completely. 

Josiah married first Sarah FISH and secondly Polly (Mary RANDALL). page 180-181 lists him with his family. 

Josiah's children were all from his second wife Mary (Polly) Randall. 

Josiah is mentioned in his late father's probate packet which I have just found at Ancestry.com. He was the executor of the estate.
