The history of the Galpin family in the United States dates back to 1648, when Philip Galpin came to New Haven, Ct., from Bristol, England, where he was born. He died at Rye, N. Y., in 1664. His third son, Benjamin, was an ancestor of Peter Galpin, the subject of this sketch, through two generations of sons named Samuel, and a great grandson, named Selleck. Peter Galpin's great grandfather was born in Woodbury, Conn., and was a brother to Nathan Galpin, who moved to New York in 1801, and in 1830, went to Washington County, Mich. That branch of the Galpin family still lives in Michigan. Freeman Galpin of Ann Arbor, Mich., is a descendant of Nathan Galpin.
