1. Some sources record Benjamin as "Benadam" Gallup. We believe this came from his nickname "Ben" followed by his middle name "Adam". "Benadam" should only be accorded to Benjamin's son, Benadam Gallop (see note 4).
2. Benjamin and his nephew, John Gallup, who married Elizabeth Wheeler, lived on the eastern part of his father's land grants, known as the Pe-quot-se-pos Valley. They jointly built and occupied the dwelling house, where an old chimney remained in 1899, which with their lands, became mainly owned by the heirs-at-law of Hiram W. Wheeler and Lodowick Wilcox.
3. Benjamin served in the colonial wars. He went with other volunteers from Boston to the Vineyard sound, where their own master was mortally wounded in the fight, they took and brought a pirate sloop to Benjamin in October, 1689.
4. From the "Genealogical Dictionary of New England Settlers", Volume 2 PAge 223:

all of these, were b. at Stonington. With other volunteers from Boston, he went to the Vineyard sound,
where, tho. their own master was mort. wound. in the fight, they took and brot. to B. a pirate sloop, in
