Surnames: northups in Minnesota Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/oR3.2ACEB/178.185.2 Message Board Post: I am a Northup and live in Minnesota. I can go only so far back to my great, great, great grandfather Perry Gate Northup b.in Hamburgh, NJ 1832, Perry married Mariam 'Vi" Kinne in 1859. Mariam was b N.Y. in 1842. Mariam had a younger sister born in Avon, Wis in 1854 so she must have met Perry in Wisconsin. All their children were born in Ellsworth, Wis.I have no idea how long the Northup's were in Wis. I only know that my Granfather, Perry' Grandson, moved to Minnesota sometime in 1930 or 40s.
