J. F. GALLUP, farmer, P. O. Kasson, is a son of Nathaniel C. and Dinah (Edmunds) Gallup, natives of Connecticut,
who came to Sergeant township, McKean Co., Penn., in 1815. They reared a family of nine children, J. F. being the
eldest son. He was born in Connecticut, March 17. 1809. His educational advantages were limited, there being no
schools in that part of the country at that time. He spent his boyhood days with his parents upon the farm, and,
when he was twenty years of age, his father died, leaving him seventy five acres of land, on the condition that
he would pay the debts he owed. The condition he accepted, and in four years had succeeded in canceling all obligations.
In March, 1833, he married Miss Docha Brewer, a daughter of Nathaniel and Phebe Brewer, of Norwich township, McKean
Co., Penn., and to this union were born three children, viz.: Orson D., Ellen A. (deceased) and Orpha A., who resides
with her father. Mrs. Gallup died September, 14, 1885. Mr. Gallup came to Marvin Creek, Hamlin township, in 1861,
and here he now has a fine home and farm. He has held the office of county commissioner one term, besides various
township offices.
