9988. Capt. John Gallup /Gollop

"GALLOP, or GALLUP, ...(9988) JOHN, Dorchester 1630, perhaps br. of the preced. rem. soon to Long island, part of Boston, 1632, was a fisherman and pilot, and prob. liv. alternate. down the harb. and up in town, where ho. and garden he had, as in the book of poss'sions. join. to the ch. 6 Jan. 1634, freem. 1 Apr. foll. brot. w. (9989) Christobel, wh. liv. to summer of 1655, and ch. (4994i) John, (4994v) Samuel, (4994vi) Nathaniel, and (4994i) Joan, wh. m. (4994i[1]) Thomas Joy; and he d. Jan. 1650. His will of 20 Dec. 1649, pro. 9 Feb. foll. provides for all these, and gives £2. to new meeting-house, then building; and the will of his wid. is to be seen in Geneal. Reg. V. 444, made 24 July 1655, pro. 31 Oct. foll. He seems, by his conduct in punishm. murderers of John Oldham, to have been very brave, and he left brave descend. [[vol. 2, p. 223]]"

9989. Christobel Bruchett

"(9988) John's most notable adventure was his encounter with a boat load of Indians, whom he captured and destroyed off Block Island with the aid of his two sons and a hired man. The Indians had murdered John Oldham, a man of ability, and they were having a hilarious time in his boat when they were over-taken by Captain Gallup. This has been called the first naval battle on the Atlantic coast, and it gave the Captain a Colonial and later a national reputation. It was one of the first skirmishes of the great Pequot Indian War."

"The Fellows family immigrated from England. (4996) William Fellows settled at Ipswich Mass., his brothers, (4997ii) Samuel Fellows, at Salisbury Mass., and (4997iii) Richard Fellows, eventually at Connecticut. There are no known male descendents of Richard Fellows. Richard did have three sons; one was killed by Indians at the Bloody Creek Massacre and the other two did not live to the age of majority, so most of the Fellows in America descend from either William or his younger brother, Samuel.

9994. unknown Ayres

9995. unknown

REF: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/7937/ayres_captjohn_d1675_whitmore_1870.htm

This line is confusing. John Ayres seems to have been the father of Samuel, who married Abigail Fellows. If he were also the brother of (4997) Mary, Abigail's mother, then Samuel would have married his first cousin.

"Savage, in his account, makes a mistake... (9995ii) Captain John Ayres of Ipswich and Brookfield was not the son of John Ayres of Haverhill. I have carefully examined the deeds of Salem, and have careful copies of the town records of Ipswich and Haverhill, and these show that the mistake had been made by confounding two persons of the same name. It has been suggested that he was the John Eyre, grocer of Norwich, England, age 40 in 1637, who went to Holland, but this seems highly improbable..."

"(9995ii[1]) William Lamson died at Ipswich in 1659, leaving eight children. His widow (9995ii) Sarah wished to marry one Thomas Hartshorn, but was opposed by her brothers (4996) William Fellows and (9995iii) John Ayres. Now as [John] Ayres married a (9995iii[1]) Symonds, and there is no record of any sisters of his wife who married Lamson and Fellows, it is fair to conclude that their wives were own sisters of John Ayres."

"Some researchers believe that (4997) Mary Ayres was a daughter of John and Hannah Ayer, who came to Mass. in 1637, were in Salisbury in 1640, and in Ipswich prior to 1645 when they moved to Haverhill. These Ayers has a son John and a daughter Mary, but no daughter Sarah is listed for them. Also, (4996) William Fellows had married Mary Ayres at least several years before 1640. So the question is how William could have met a daughter of John Ayer; it does not seem likely to have happened in Ispwich." <(Source: George Ellis Holberg, p. 49)

9996. poss. John Cross

"CROSS, ...(9996) JOHN, Ipswich 1635, by w. (9997) Ann had Ann, [[vol. 1, p. 478]] bapt. 9 Oct. 1638; rem. to Hampton, freem. 6 Sept. 1639, rep. 1640, perhaps in 1642 at Dover, and back again to I. d. 1652. His inv. of Sept. was of £382, 5, 2; and the only ch. (9997ii) Susanna m. (9997ii[1]) Thomas Hammond.

There does not seem to be a concensus on who were the parents of (4998) Robert Cross, except that they came from Suffolk, England. Some have purported lines back to Sir William Crosse, an English knight killed at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. As with other such noble lines, I will wait until I see some real evidence before pursuing the matter.

"4 Crosses came to America from England. William, John, Henry and Robert. Robert born 1613, died 1670 came to America on the ship "Mary and John" from Ipswich, (Suffolk,) England..."

-- http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?robert,1613::cross::3372.html

"...the baptism date for Robert the immigrant cited by Harold Cross raises a question about the identity of both of (4998) Robert’s parents. Harold Cross states, "Robert Cross ... was born in Charlinch, Somersetshire, England 26 Jun 1613" to John Cross (Page 44 - and similar wording on page 30). He then cites Baty, "Robert Cross, baptized on 26 Jun 1612/13 ... was probably the son of John Crosse."

"Well I have Baty's book in front of me and she does say that on page 11, BUT she also provides information that contradicts that statement. On page 6, Baty says that a Robert Cross who was baptized on 26 Jun 1613 was the son of Thomas Cross and Rachel Dising, not John Cross. Moreover, by stating “I am inclined to give credence to the second family;” she is suggesting that John Cross is the more likely father, however, her reasoning implies that birthplace led her to this conclusion. Since she acknowledges that both Robert son of Thomas and Robert son of John were born in Charlinch, however, I do not understand how she can conclude that that suggests that John is the more likely father.

"Third, the cited immigration dates seem odd. Harold Cross cites Baty that Robert came on the "Mary and John" in 1634. Baty does state this but does not elaborate. Banks (originally published in 1930), however, does NOT list Robert among the passengers of the "Mary and John", which left 24 Mar 1634. Interestingly, Harold Cross states, “John immigrated to New England Apr 1634 [endnote 181]” I assume endnote 181 cites Banks, who does list John (age 50) and Ann (age 38) abroad the "Elizabeth" which left late Apr 1634.

"These dates suggest this is the John Crosse that Harold Cross says was christened in Saint Michael on 5 Jun 1584. Now IF Robert Cross left in Mar 1634 (needs evidence) and John Cross left in Apr 1634 (Banks), this supports the notion that John is the father of Robert, especially considering that they both settled in Ipswich. But assuming that they are father and son, why would they choose to endure a potentially dangerous 2½ month long voyage, leaving one month apart, rather than coming together. And why does John leave Ipswich only after a short time and eventually remove to Boston?"
