Charles Kimball Gallup descends in direct line from John Gallop (also Gollop and Gallup) born 1590, fourth son of Thomas Gallop, gentleman, of North Bowood, county Dorset, England, and whose wife was a daughter of Thomas Crabb, of Nosterne, same county. John Gallop came to America in 1634. His wife, Christobel, followed soon after. They settled in Boston, Massachusetts, where he died in 1650.
The Gallup family spread over New England and adjacent states, a branch settling in Greene county, New York. Charles Kimball Gallup is a son of Henry Schuyler Gallup, a resident of Coxsackie, Greene county, New York, who was a member of the Methodist church and a pronounced Democrat. He married, December 17, 1835, Anna Maria Van Den Berg, born April 9, 1819, at Coxsackie, New York.

(II) Charles Kimball Gallup was born at Coxsackie, New York, September 8, 1845. He was graduated at Coxsackie Academy, one of the best of the academies of that period. He has been connected with one corporation for thirty-seven years, and is still an active business man.
