(Isaac Gallup)

It appears that he served as a Lieutenant in Capt. Abel Spicer's company, Col. Parsons' Conn. regiment, from May 1, 1775, to December 18 1775; as Captain of a company in the regiment commanded by Col. 
Parsons, and Col. Tyler, for about one year in 1776 -- service was performed probably at Roxbury, and in the vicinity of Boston; all of 1777 served one month in the State of Rhode Island, as Captain of a company in Col. McClellan's regiment; from August 5, 1778, served about thirty-eight days in Sullivan's Rhode Island expedition as adjutant in Col. Smith's regiment; July, 1779, served one week at Groton, Conn., as adjutant in Col. Smith's regiment, Col. Tyler's brigade; from July 16, to August 22, 1779, served at Groton and New
London, Conn., as adjutant of a detachment of militia commanded by Lt. Col. Nathan Gallup. It is probably that he rendered services additional to those above mentioned, but no other services are specifically specified in the widow's declaration for pension.
