Note: The obituary confirms John Jay Gallup's birth year (1825) and service (177th A) and death date (1914). His grave stone also confirms date of birth and death (1825 - 1914) and lists his daughter. However, the service records give him a date of birth of 6 Oct 1833. Census records consistently calculate his birth date to be about 1837 and also list his daughter and wife and siblings consistently. The Gallup Genealogy stes, "John Jay Gallup, b. Oct. 6, 1835 Knox, m. Jan. 14, 1873, Mary Frederick. One child. Anna Louisa, b. Jan. 14, 1875 Knox, d. Sept. 20, 1875, at their residence in Knox, N. Y.

I don't see any easy solution.

Obituary

From The Altamont Enterprise (Altamont, NY), 1914

WAR VETERAN DEAD

Mr. John Jay Gallup, a civil war veteran, died at his home in town of Knox on Monday evening, March 9. (1914) Mr. Gallup's death was caused by a fall on the 3d inst., sustaining a compound fracture of one of his hips, a portion of which penetrated his intestines. Mr. Gallup was given medical attention as soon as a physician could reach him, but on account of his extreme age, and the serious nature of the break, his life slowly ebbed away, and the end came not unexpected. Mr. Gallup enlisted in the 177th regiment, N.Y. volunteers, in 1862 and served nine months in and around Port Hudson, and was in several engagements, being honorably discharged from the service in the fall of 1863. He was an honored member of H.M. Barclay Post, G.A.R. Mr. Gallup was born in 1825, and was in his 89th year. He is survived by two brothers and a sister. The funeral service was held from his late residence on Thursday afternoon. Interment in High Point cemetery.
