I am trying to piece together the family of Nathaniel Gallop & Hannah Parent. Their daughter Mary/May Gallop married Solomon Farley. Apparently there were eight daughters and three sons of Nathaniel Gallop & Hannah Parent. I found some information in the Genealogical section of the old Boston Evening Transcript and have made a rudimentary Family Group Record. It seems that there must be many descendants of Nathaniel Gallop & Hannah Parent, but I haven't seen much written about them. I have prepared this Family Group Record from bits & pieces from various sources... some of them are secondary sources and need to be taken with a grain of salt, but hopefully this will help lead other researchers to look in the right direction for more information.

BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT
GENEALOGICAL
January 19, 1931
(1223.) FARLEY, GALLOP. According
to a grandson, Solomon Farley was born
about 1746, sided with the colonials at
the commencement of the Revolution,
but went to New Brunswick, for some
unknown reason, about the close of the
war. It is said that he had a brother
killed in the American service on Lake
Champlain. In New Brunswick Solomon
Farley married May Gallop and they
settled at Peel Station.
The Gallop family are said to have
come from an island of that name in
Massachusetts, to New Brunswick about
the commencement of the war. The
names of her parents not known. There
were eight daughters and three sons in
the family. The sons were Benjamin,
Samuel and Benjamine.(?) May is the only
one of the daughters whose name was
remembered. She was born about 1761
and was fifteen when her family arrived
in Carleton, N.B. The family soon
moved to Douglas, N.B.
The only Solomon Farley in
Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors whose
record would fit the above, was enlisted
from Deerfield, June 15, 1775, in Capt.
David Condon's Co., Col. Douglas Wood-
bridges (25) Massachusetts, Regt. He
apparently enlisted to serve to the end
of the year. From Lossing's Field Book,
I would judge that Woodbridge's Regt.
was among those sent to Charlestown
Neck during the progress of the Battle of
Bunker Hill. This Solomon Farley was
***************************************
in Capt. Agrippa Well's Co., Col. Samuel
Brener's Regt., enlisted Sept. 1, 1776, for
three months, served at Ticonderoga.
He was enlisted or was drafted in Capt.
Nathan Fray's Co., Col. David Fields,
Fifth Hampshire County Regt., Militia,
to serve in the Continental army; joined
Capt. Samuel Flower's Co., Col. John
Greaton's Regt. Jan. 7, 1777, term three
years or during war; deserted Jan. 8,
1777. That is the record of him in
the army. According to the history of
Deerfield, there was no Farley family in
that town at the time and no other record
of this Solomon Farley is known except
these military records. The grandson
above mentioned said his grandfather
retained his American principals during
his life, and "went over land to see his
[allys] once or twice."
Can anyone give the parentage of
Solomon Farley and his ancestry? Can
anyone give the names and ancestry of
the parents of May Gallop?

BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT

346. (New Series) GALLUPE, FAR-
LEY L.G.S. May 13, 1935. James N.
Farley born at Peel, New Brunswick,
April 18, 1823, died at Fortuna, Calif..
in February 19__ . All but the last few
years he lived in New Bruns-
wick. After his death there were [?]
among his things, some notes by him on
his family history [?] which I quote:
"The Gallop family [?] first came from
an island of that name (Gallop Island)
Mass., U.S. At the time of the Revolu-
tionary War and landed in Nova Scotia.
After a time they came to Carleton, St.
John and again moved on up river to
Douglas, nine miles above Frederick-
ton. Here they made a stand near
[Major] Island.
***********************************
"There was a family of children, eight
daughters and three sons, mariages and
names as follows. One married Edward
Burpee, one to Thomas Burpee, one to
Solomon Farley of Boston, one to Isaac
Miller, Southampton. One to Mr. Jew-
eth of Mak-Mageak [Macinquae], one to
Mr. Allen, and one to Harris and another
to Mr. Hanes - these were of Kis-
wak [Keswick]. Benjamin Gallop set-
tled on the oposite side of the river
near Burpee's Bar. Benjamine opposite
Hartland. Samuel at Wicklow. Those
three men lived and died at those differ-
ent points or settlements.
"The Millers are descendants of the
above Miller and Rev. Benjamine Jeweth
of Hartland was a son of the above
named Mr. Jeweth of Mack ----.
"This Solomon Farley of Boston at the
commencement of the war took sides
with the Revolutionists. Was in the
battle of Bunker Hill. How long he was
in the army I do not know. The mystery
is what brought him here. . . . He was
most likely acquainted with the Gallop
family before they left that country and
after leaving the war followed them to
where they settled in N.B. In view of
what took place by his marriage to one of
those young ladies (May by name) . . .
as time passed by he found a grave in
Peel about A. D. 1819. Peel Station is
where he and his family came to and
settled. After his death the Homestead
fell to his son, Nathaniel. He sold out
and moved to East Florenceville with his
mother, also she died there A. D. 1845,
being 84 years old. She was 15 years old
when he arrived at Carleton, St.John."
On another sheet Mr. Farley had writ-
ten: "Solomon Farley was born at Bos-
ton about 1746. Died at Peel Station,
March 1819, and his wife died March 1845
in East Floreceville at about 83 or 84."
Children of above:
"James born 1790 York Co., N.B.";
"William born 1794"; "Nathaniel born
1796"; Solomon about 1798 or 1800"; "Han-
nah later."
The writer of the above records, James
N. Farley, was a son of Nathaniel and
Catherine (Gurrier) Farley, and a grand-
son of Solomon and May (Gallop) Farley.
Attention is called to the fact that James
N. was about 22 when his grandmother
Farley died.
"loyalists in the American Revolu-
tion." by Lorenzo, Sabine, Vol. I, page
458 gives: "Gallopp, William, He set-
tled in Charlotte County, New Bruns-
wick, and was a magistrate. He died in
that country about the year 1806."
As Mr. Farley places his Gallop family
in York County instead of Charlotte, it
wouldseem that there were two loyalists
named Gallop who went to New Bruns-
wick, unless the present York County
was originally a part of Charlotte Coun-
ty (?). H.W.D.P.
