Received this note from Benny Peavey (chefbp@bellsouth.net) which should go here because of it's relevance to other Blount County researchers. Further research shows where John Gallups died in Blount County in 1914. He does not have a tombstone, but is believed to be buried in the Cleveland Cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello......I have a line on John F Gallups. He is one of my ggg-grandfathers. I have only learned this in the past few months doing research. I was not aware he was in the infantry but am delighted to find that out. Here is what I do know: He was enumerated on the 1860 federal census as a child in Russell County, Alabama. He was born abt 1847-1848. His fathers name was John, also. This falls in line with the fact that the 39th Infantry included Russell County. He was enumerated again as head of household in 1870 in Russell County and the census shows that my gg-grandmother, Mary Addie Gallups had been born. He was enumerated in 1880 in Blount County, Township 13, Range 1 East, Page 2. He was enumerated in 1910 in Blount County, Cleveland 12, Sheet 7B. I do not yet know when he died or where he is buried. But, I do know his daughter, Mary Addie, is buried in the Cleveland Methodist Cemetery, along side her husband, James Henry McCoy, my gg-grandfather, who she married 4 Oct 1888 in Cleveland at her brothers residence, John Robert Gallups. He is also buried at Cleveland Methodist. Jim McCoy, who lives in Cleveland, is the only living son of Mary Addie Gallups and James Henry McCoy. He is my uncle and is 91 years old. I don't know any tie-in of other Gallups that are living there now, yet. I am still searching and waiting for my next trip from Florida to Blount County to continue. I hope this helps and will look forward to any new information that comes up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Note: The following information was found inside a book in the Blount >County Court House in Oneonta entitled "Poll List Book of 1899." >Apparently it was handy when the Veterans needed some paper to write on at >their meeting.
