Child No. 1: GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT UNCLE AQUILLA GALLOWAY [1]

Aquilla Galloway was the administrator of his father's estate and was taken to court by members of his family as noted previously. There were other Aquilla Galloways in early Maryland records, and I have not been too successful in determining which record belonged to which Aquilla. Edna Kanely of Baltimore, and an established researcher was from this lineage. So far I have not been able to get documentation.

GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER ELIHU GALLOWAY [1]

Most of the information on this gentleman came from the research of my brother, Howard Galloway.

Great Great Grandfather Elihu Galloway was the youngest child to live who was born to William and Mary Pocock Galloway of Maryland. William's will, dated August 10, 1785, refers to an unborn child who did not live. Elihu was born June 14, 1811/12, 1784. He died June 19, 1863, at the age of 79 years and 14 days in Jennings County, Indiana; he is buried in the Elliott Cemetery near Zenas in Jennings County. Mary was guardian for the orphaned children. When he was about 10 years old, his mother married Francis Hare, and the latter was appointed his guardian on July 9, 1802.

Upon turning 21, Elihu came into two inheritances, one from his Grandfather Thomas and one from his Father William. From his Grandfather Thomas's estate in 1803, he inherited 18 pounds, 17 shillings, and 10 1/2 pence. (This estate settlement was contested in court as will be brought in his Grandfather Thomas' biography.) From his father Williams's estate on June 11, 1806, he took title to his interest in Lot 14, My Lady's Manor, Baltimore County, Maryland. (Located in Vol. 67, page 1, Film Land Records, MD Index, Baltimore Courthouse). On September 26, 1806, he sold his share of the Manor to his stepfather, Francis Hare, receiving 67 pounds and 3 shillings. This conveyance contains Elihu's s signature and that signature is identical to the one on a document executed by him in Jennings County, Indiana on December 31, 1850 in which he applied for a land grant. These documents provide irrefutable evidence that the Indiana and the Maryland Elihu were one and the same.

Elihu appears on official records on a Bourbon County Kentucky delinquent tax list in 1807 according to a reputable periodical called Kentucky Ancestors--information courtesy of Patton Galloway. According to his wife's pension application, he was raised in Kentucky and on a farm, I am sure. We do know that in the move to Kentucky, he was either preceded, accompanied, or followed by his brother Elijah and his sister Elizabeth and her husband, Thomas Price. Interestingly enough, he lived in the same Kentucky county (Bourbon) as did William of the well-documented Pennsylvania Galloways. That William was directly descended from Samuel Galloway and the latter is documented right back to Scotland being one of the "seven Galloway brothers" (Samuel, John, William, James, Peter, Thomas and George) who came to America early in the 18th century. It does seem logical that they were kinfolks, but as yet no proof. Possibly our forebears came to Kentucky because of contacts with cousins in Kentucky, but that is strictly conjecture.

On March 1/2 1811/12, Elihu marrried Mary Elliott, daughter of William and Martha Elliott, in Bourbon, Kentucky, at the home of her parents with her brothers, Robert and Joseph Elliott, present at the wedding according to her pension affidavit. Samuel Reynolds was the officiating Presbyterian minister. A John Galloway tract in Bourbon County on Houston Creek was about 2 miles from Hopewell Presbyterian Church, on the Lexington-Paris Road, which William Elliott helped establish and from which Mary Elliott Galloway transferred her membership after moving to Indiana.

On August 15, 1813, Elihu enlisted from Bourbon County in the Kentucky Volunteers (Militia). This was a regiment of mounted infantry in Captain Richard Matson's Company, commanded by Colonel Richard M. Johnson who later served many years in Congress and as vice-president of the United States underMartin Van Buren. Elihu was a private. His pay was $8 per month, with a 40 cents per day allowance for his horse. He soon saw action. On October 2, 1813, his regiment made a forced march from Detroit across the border into Canada. At a point near the Thames River they encountered the Indian Chief Tecumsah with a war party, including some British troops. They then and there fought the Battle of the Thames, one of the few recorded battles of the War of 1812. The Kentucky militia was victorious. It was reported, but not proved, that Tecumsah was killed during the battle. He was discharged November 11, 1813. (Military Service Records, National Archives, GSA, Washington DC.)

This is of particular interest to our family because a number from our Rule family, including our probable direct ancestor, James Rule, also served under Captain Matson. They, too, were from Pendleton and Bourbon Counties which more or less proves to me that the families knew each other in Kentucky.

On November 19, 1813, Elihu was mustered out of his regiment back to Bourbon Kentucky, having served 3 months and 5 days, enough to get a land bounty in Jennings County and for Mary to get a pension later in life. Thomas Galloway of Cincinnati says it is family tradition among the Indiana descendants that he bought land in Kentucky, but was somehow defrauded out of it, something to do with a fraudulent title. This has not been proved.

In the spring of 1820 (pension record) he moved from Bourbon to Jennings County, Indiana and there he lived the rest of his life. On April 5, 1823, William Elliott, Mary Galloway and Elihu Galloway, JP, were witnesses to a deed from Daniel & Letta Speer to Louisa Speer all of Jefferson Co.....(From Hoosier Journal for Jennings Co, IN-Deed Records A 1818-1825) On November 12, 1829, (Hoosier Journal of Ancestry Spec No3 for Jennings Co IN a Probate Order Book C for Nov 1836-Dec 1839) Johnson Elliott of lawful age states that......Mary Galloway late Elliott....was one of the only lawful heirs of William Elliott deceased, late of Jennings County, as is Johnson Elliott himself, and sworn on oath of David Elliott who is of lawful age. On November 14, 1839, David Elliott is the administrator and filed inventory including notes on Elihu Galloway. Buyers taken from the sale bill on November 14, 1839, included Elihue and Samuel Gallaway. In 1855 Elihu was granted a patent for 120 acres of land in Jennings Indiana for his war service. In 1872 his widow was granted a pension of $8 per month. I HAVE NOT SENT FOR THE ESTATE PAPERS FOR WILLIAM ELLIOTT, NOR HAVE I SEEN THEM--HR.

After Elihu's death, Mary lived with her son, George, in Cold Springs, Dearborn County, Indiana, and it was while living with him that she applied for and received her federal pension. She established proof of their marriage via affidavits. Mary died April 21, 1881, at the age of 86 years, 7 months, and 14 days, and she is buried back to back with her husband in the Elliott Cemetery near Zenas.

FROM THE GALLOWAY FAMILIES by Roy Stevenson King, pages 17-18

"At the beginning of the historic period, as early as the Fifth Century, the Angles (English) were known as the blond, blue eyed European race from Holstine. The Gales were the Highland Scotch. (And the Scotch still say Gae for go or give.) There is evidence that the Gaels may have derived their name from being worshippers of Gaea, the goddess of the earth according to Greek mythology.

"...The Celtic highlanders of Scotland, at the beginning of the First Century possessed Britain, Gaul, a part of Spain and Italy and provinces in central Europe...Ireland (the original Scotia) was a Gaelic Province, gave the name GALLOWAY to a large county in the west of Ireland. Families were divided into families, groups or tribes or clans, each more or less independent. The GALLOWAY clan seems to have been one of the strongest from the year 400 up to the subjugation of the Scotch Kingdom by England in 1233....The Gaels werecalled Gallovidians, meaning men of GALLOWAY. The last of the great Chieftans of the Clan was Allen of Galloway, Scotland who died in 1233, dividing his great possessions among his three daughters.

"Some of these people who moved...gave their Gaelic name, GALLOWAY, to a large area or district in the southwest corner of Scotland.....and this clan lasted for about 800 years. They were Christians, their first Prince, Ferguson, having been converted with his people to Christianity by St. Patrick about 503...The Kings of Scotland excercised nominal sovereignty over the GALLOWAY Province.

"The name GALLOWAY is very common in both Ireland and Scotland. While the political factions of the British Isles raged liked the waves of the sea and religious denominations had become furious in their persecutions of each other, William Penn had established his colony in America in 1681, and published his call to all seekers of freedom to resort to it. The spirit of emigration worked liked leaven, and while Scotland overflowed, and MAY be the period when our ancestor came in." (This article proceeds in detail about the early settler, George Galloway, who was one of the seven Galloway Brothers who supposedly came to the US from Scotland and located in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. Nowhere was a THOMAS mentioned.


WESTWARD MIGRATION
from Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin, Fall, 1980

Perhaps it might be wise to review land policies for Immigrants from Europe, particularly the British Isles, since that is the probable home for our Galloway Forebears. While there were immigrants prior to 1619, it was only after that date that they came in a steady stream. "Maryland was settled in 1634. Why did they come? One incentive was religious freedom; another incentive was land, which, in Europe, was owned almost exclusively by the wealthy. Most of the acreage in America had been granted by the Crown either to favorite individuals, such as Lord Baltimore in Maryland whose holdings directly affected the Galloways. In order to increase the value of their holdings and attract settlers, these owners would even give free grants of land or sell certain sections for a low price. In Maryland, each person--male or female--who paid his own passage from England was awarded 100 acres (later reduced to 50) plus another fifty for each additional fare he paid. Thus a man who arrived in Virginia accompanied by his wife, 3 children, and 2 servants was entitled to make application for 400 acres. The owner received his pay in yearly taxes with a token payment being given to the Crown. In Maryland, this was 2 arrowheads per year.

"Other people, particularly in the 18th Century, bought the land outright. Individuals and companies with considerable capital purchased huge tracts at bargain prices and sold them in sections, usually for $1.25 per acre. The fare from England to America was high--so much so that a good many prospective settlers were unable to afford it. As a result, the ship's captain advanced these people passage money in exchange for their services as bond servants in America. At the port of arrival, he sold their services, either for the amount advanced or to the highest bidder, for a period of from 3 to 7 years. At the end of that time, the master was obligated to give the servant a suit of clothes and the 50 acres he had obtained for paying the passage. This attracted all manner of men--from the well educated to the fellow who was one step ahead of the sheriff.

"Another group who usually managed to pay their own fares was the younger sons of good British families. Primogenture practiced throughout the British Isles gave to the eldest son the family title and all entailed land possessed by his deceased father. So the younger male members of the family were reduced to taking an allowance from their elder brother or entering either the church or the military. So, some migrated to the colonies with the hope of acquiring sufficient wealth to return to England and life in comfort. Most of them never went back. Because of this hunger for land, it's possible to find almost every male in the early records, either in deeds, wills, law suits or rent rolls."

Was Grandfather Thomas an immigrant? If so, was he capable of paying for his own passage to the colonies? Probably not, but he did have some money. Was he from Scotland as has been handed down in our branch of the family? Did he come over at the bequest of some of the earlier Galloway Immigrants? These are questions that we should like to answer.

At this point, I do not know our Galloway Immigrant. Our first documented ancestor was Thomas Galloway, and when he died he owned 173 acres of land consisting of part of Lot 12 and all of Lot 13 of My Lady's Manor in Baltimore and Harford Counties, Maryland. My Lady's Manor was originally a 10,000 acre tract originally given by Lord Baltimore to his 4th wife Lady Margaret on August 26, 1713. She, in turn bequeathed it to his Lordship's granddaughter, Charlotte Calvert Brerewood. Neither ever made their home on this manor but leased the land to different tenants. After the Revolution the land was seized by the newly formed United States Government who sold it off in smaller farms. Later the name of the post office, Monkton, came to be the name rather than My Lady's Manor. GGGGGrandfather Thomas was originally a tenant on this 173 acre tract. During the Revolutionary War it--as well as all of My Lady's Manor--was confiscated as Crown property. Thomas bought it on October 24, 1782, and he purchased it from a Thomas Wilmot who in turn had bought it 2 days earlier at a public auction held at nearby Slades Tavern.

In reading the carefully documented items about early Galloways, it would certainly seem that our branch might logically be related to Elizabeth (Graham) Galloway, wife of Samuel Galloway, she, being killed by Indians in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in 1755. Her son, William Galloway, lost his wife and two children in the same massacre. Her husband, Samuel, of SW Scotland never came to America. She immigrated to America with her seven sons: Samuel, John, William, James, Peter, Thomas, and George. A George Galloway, son of Samuel and Elizabeth, died in 1783 as a "very old man". He had married Rebecca Junkin; he was b ca 1710-20, married in 1741, and bu in Miflin Co, PA. I have read that he entered through the Port of Newcastel, DE, and settled near York PA 1740-42. As noted previously, Roy Stevenson King's, GALLOWAY FAMILY gives detailed information on George Galloway.

But there are MANY MANY GALLOWAYS IN EARLY MARYLAND, many with the same given names as those in our family. Careful research of land records in Maryland might shed light upon the different relationships. Perhaps more emphasis should be put on Harford County.

Patton Galloway's THEORY: "That the Pennsylvania Galloways were actually some of the Baltimore Galloways (our ancestors) who moved north, as many people did. The Susquehana River flows from York down to near Baltimore, which arried on a thriving trade with the frontier. The names of the alleged "seven brothers" were common among the Maryland Galloways, and George (who was quite prominent in pre-revolutionary western Pennsylvana) could have been our ancestor Thomas' brother. William, John, James, and Samuel Galloway appear in Pennsylvania records; a Peter Galloway was in Baltimore County in 1776 and our Thomas died there in 1783 which would account for all seven brothers. There are Galloways in Maryland whose deaths are not recorded there, but the same names appear later in Pennsylvania.....did not have time to give all the evidence.... but is reasonably satisfied with this conclusion unless someone can show evidence of the seven brothers arriving from Scotland!

She further states that if her theory is true, it would explain why Elihuand his brother went to Paris, Kentucky as his mother (who was left with little money) could have called on relatives there to take in some of her children, or perhaps Elihu was just taken there by his brother and sister and lived with them. In 1794, there were 4 Galloway brothers in or around Paris, all early Kentucky settlers who came down from Pennsylvania, as well as their children. Elihu named two of his sons Samuel and John which were names of the Kentucky Galloways.

It is also her theory that all of these are descended from the Galloways who settled in West River, Maryland in the 1660s when dissenters from Virginia moved there. West River became a leading Quaker settlement and these Galloways took up that religion (although only for a few generations). The Galloways (presumably part of the same family) were in Baltimore County by 1741.

He was living in 1785 at the time of his father's death for he is mentioned in his will. Onl October 13, 1804, Elisha was paid in full final portion of father's estate. l (Maryland Guardian Accounts, Book 2, p 500).

In the Baltimore Will Book, according to data collected by Edna Kanely, the following will was found dated 12 Aug 1867. I have no proof positive that this is the above Elisha Galloway, but the time is right and the witnesses are plausible for that vicinity. According to the will he had four children, Martha E. Curry, Acquilla Galloway, William Galloway, and Mary Standiford. According to the St. James P. E. Parish Register, Baltimore County, Volune 2, an Elisha Galloway was buried on August 29, 1867, in the St. James churchyard east of a chestnut tree.

"I bequeath to daughter Martha E. Curry the house and enclosed lot of ground now occupied by son Aquilla Galloway together with the sum of $1000.00...to my sons Aquilla Galloway and William Galloway the farm on which I now reside and also a tract of about 15 acres of land in Harford County, equally divided between them...to son Aquilla the 2 mules and the 2 mares now used on the premises..to sons Aquilla and William together with the wagon, the2 youngest colts and farming utensils..to my 4 children Aquilla and William Galloway, Mary Ann Standiford and Martha E.

Child No. 2: GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT AUNT MARY GALLOWAY DeMOSS [1]
was probably born ca 1750. Michael John Neill of Galesburg, Illinois descends from this branch. She married John DeMoss, son of John De Moss Sr. and Susannah Ramsey, on November 6, 1778. A John Demoss is on page 74 of the 1790 Census of Harford County, MD..; he died in October 1820, in Harford, Maryland. John figured rather prominently in the trial papers over the estate of Thomas Galloway. He seems to refute himself, but at one time he is quoted as saying that he was afraid of being abused if he bid at the sale--later he said that he was satisfied.

They had a daughter (probably more children) named Christianna De Moss who married Thomas Johnson Rampley on July 7, 1800, in Cochocton, Ohio.

She married Joshua Hendrick in February 1813. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE. MY HUSBAND HAS A HENDRICK ANCESTOR.
THERE WERE OTHER WILLIAM GALLOWAYS IN EARLY MARYLAND AT THIS TIME. A William Galloway was born in Great Britain in 1627 who married Lucy Child in 1659. He had land in Anne Arrundel County, Maryland. Later they were called "Galloways of Middle River, Baltimore County, Maryland." They were Church of England. On April 1, 1705, a William Galloway of Baltimore County made a will mentioning his wife and children as well as Father William Galloway. On June 8, 1743, a William Galloway was born who first married Catherine Thompson and secondly Rebecca Mitchell. (THIS WILLIAM GALLOWAY WENT TO PARIS, BOURBON COUNTY, KY--it would seem logical that he was related to ours who later went to Paris.) On January 2, 1728, a William Galloway was born to William and Priscilla Galloway. A William Galloway was born November 21, 1738 who married Ann Waller.

I enjoyed your website on the Galloway family. (but I couldn't find the Galloway information via a google search like I could when the site had a different url address)

Someone on the site was asking for information on Sarah Galloway who married Joshua Hendricks. The Hendrix/Hendricks/Hendrickson family is my husbands line.

Sarah Galloway married Joshua Hendrix Feb 1813 at St James Protestant Episcopal Church, Monkton, MD. Sarah had been confirmed at St James on 5 Feb 1795. They lived in Shrewsbury, York Co, PA and are buried in the Hendrix Cemetery which is located on the Susquehanna Trail in Shrewsbury.

Their tombstones read:

PS. - I think there was an early Galloway-Hendrickson marriage. I am currently researching Moses Galloway, the son of William Galloway III and Rebecca Carr. Moses and Galloway relatives were involved in the estates of Hendricksons in Baltimore County, MD - these Hendricksons were known by the name of Hendricks in Shrewsbury, York Co., PA as proven by a signature on a deed in Baltimore Co and another deed in York Co.

Moses Galloway & Joseph Crook (who in 1757 married a Priscilla Galloway) were the appraisers in 1773 of the estate of Esrom Hendrickson. The maiden name of Esrom's wife Martha is unknown.

Moses Galloway and John Jarman were the witnesses to the 1781 will of John Hendrickson, brother of Esrom. A Robert Jarman married Mary Galloway, d/o Wm II Moses inherited from his father Mary's Adventure which his father had bought from Mary Jarman. One of the securities was John Waller and I believe Wallers married into the Galloway family. John Hendrickson's wife was Ann, possibly nee Wood

Do you have anything in your database on an early Hendrickson-Galloway marriage?

Misc. Notes
GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER THOMAS GALLOWAY [1]
Most of this research was conducted by my brother, Howard Galloway

Grandfather Thomas Galloway is our earliest known and documented ancestor. When he died on Mary 18, 1798, he was a widower, but we know nothing about his wife--not even her name. He was probably born in the 1730's. There are theories about his background which I'll run through at the end of this family's documentation.

We do know that he fathered five children: three boys, Aquilla, William, and Thomas Jr., the latter two preceding him in death; and two daughters Mary and Ruth. He died intestate, and his oldest surviving son, Aquilla, was appointed administrator.

In 1772, a Thomas Galloway and a James Pocock were sureties for Ashel and Dawson Rockhold on a bill of complaint..

On March 2, 1778, a Thomas Galloway whom I believe to be ours, signed an Oath of Fidelity that he would not support the King of Great Britain or his Heirs, and that he would be true and faithful to the state of Maryland.

When he died, he owned 173-175 acres of land consisting of part of Lot 12 and all of Lot 13, "My Lady's Manor", in Baltimore and Harford Counties, Maryland. My Lady's Manor was originally part of a 10,000 acre tract given by Lord Baltimore to his wife Lady Margaret on August 26, 1713. Thomas was orginally a tenant on this 175 acre tract. During the Revolutionary War, this land, as well as all of My Lady's Manor, was confiscated as Crown property. So, after the war, he bought the land on October 24, 1782, from a Thomas Wilmot. The latter had bought it two days earlier at a public auction held at nearby Slades Tavern by the Commissioners for confiscated British property. Also in 1781, Thomas's name was on the Petition of Inhabitants of My Lady's Manor, Baltimore and Harford Counties to Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer. This petition asked that the sale of the manor be postponed until the legislature confirmed the titles. His name was also on a petition to Governor Robert Eden in behalf of Negro Sampson. They maintained that he was innocent of the charges against him of horse stealing.

`Thomas died Intestate, and his oldest surviving son, Aquilla, was appointed administrator of the estate with Jesse Jarrett & Richard Hutchins, sureties. The Inventory was 291.27l, amount of the sales 362. (from Vol. 2, Baltimore Register of Wills) Incredible as it may seem, Aquilla failed to divide the inheritance with the other heirs. Instead he kept it himself. The other heirs were his two sisters and two widowed sisters-in-law (one was our William's wife) and their children, including our direct ancestor Elihu.

On July 2, 1800, there is an Administration Account on Thomas Galloway, deceased, (Folio 288, Book 13, Baltimore County), with Aquilla Galloway, Administrator. One of the items in payments and disbursements listed: "to William McKinley, for 5 months and 26 days wages...a person to aid and assist in making and securing the crop--$38.80; for boarding and maintaining the said William McKinley, $25.00 current money due from the decedants to William McKenly, $44.30."

On June 3, 1802, Ruth and her husband, Thomas Farrel, took Aquilla to Chancery Court. The Court subsequently made him sell the 173 acre farm at public auction and divide up the proceeds with the other heirs. However, at this public auction, Aquilla bought the farm himself paying 306 pounds, 15 shillings and 5 pence. Ruth then took him to court AGAIN, claiming he had physically intimidated all other prospective bidders against him. Judging from the testimony in the court records, he very probably did so. (This was rather a "juicy" document--at one point the son-in-law, John DeMoss, was reported to have said that he was fearful of getting abused and was afraid to bid on the land on account of the mob--others were also afraid to bid--twas also on a very rainy day.) The court, however, decided that Aquilla had paid a fair market price for the land.

COMMENT: BASIC HUMAN NATURE DOESN'T SEEM TO CHANGE!!!!

From the June Term 1803 Lawsuit of Ruth Farrel and others v. Aquilla Galloway: "...that Thomas Galloway (son of Thomas) hath also departed this life intestate leaving 5 children to wit: Walter, Pamelia, William, Thomas and John Galloway, (Jehu NOT mentioned) all of whom are infants under the age of 21 years, that the said Thomas Galloway died and possessed of a tract of land situated partly in Baltimore and partly in Harford County, being part of Lot No. 12 and the whole of Lot No. 13, part of My Lady's Manor, which hath descended to his heirs in 5 equal parts, one to each of the said surviving children and one part to the heirs of each of the deceased children.....Frances Hair was appointed guardian for our Elihu, and for the heirs of Thomas Galloway, son of the aforesaid Thomas Galloway."

On September 20, 1803, the sale was confirmed of 171 (or is it 173 or 175?) acres to Aquilla Galloway. Paid 920 pounds, 9 shillings, 2 pence. Each of Thomas's children was to receive 1/5 of the price, 173 lbs. 7 shillings & 4 pence. Heirs of William Galloway to receive 1/6 of 1/5 of the amount. Aquilla Galloway, assignee of Elijah Galloway & Elizabeth Price, each 28 lbs. 17 shillings and 10 1/2 pence. Heirs of Thomas Galloway, Jr., son of Thomas Sr., to receive 1/5 of 1/5 of the amount, 34 lbs. 13 shillings and 5 1/2 pence. l June Term, 1803, bill in chancery court, Baltimore County, Md.

On January 30, 1790, Thomas Galloway, Jr of Harford County, MD, conveyed to Ezekiel Slade 111 1/4 acres of land, Lot 45, My Lady's Manor. This tract had previously been deeded to him on November 3, 1785, by the Commissioners appointed to preserve confiscated British property. On February 1, 1790, a Thomas Galloway came before two of the Maryland Justices of the Peace for Harford County, and acknowledged that the land and premises to be the Right and Estate of...Ezekiel Slade and his heirs and assigns forever.

Misc. Notes
GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER WILLIAM GALLOWAY [1]

Most of the following information came from the research of my brother, Howard Galloway.

Great Great Great Grandfather William Galloway was the son of Thomas Galloway, and his mother's name is not known at this time. He possibly was born ca 1754, place . He made a will in August 1785, and it was probated in September in Baltimore County, Maryland, so he must have died in either August or September of 1785.

On February 20, 1774, he married Mary Pocock (loose papers, St. John's Parish, Baltimore County, MD), daughter of Daniel and Mary Eleanor Jones Pocock, in St. John's Parish, Baltimore County, Maryland. The latter were from England although they did not meet until in Maryland. It is from this family that the family names of Elijah and Elisha enter our Galloway family line.

Before August 1774, a William and a Thomas's signatures appeared on a petition to Governor Robert Eden of Maryland in behalf of a Negro Sampson whom they thought was innocent of charges against him for horse-stealing.

In 1782, there was a petition by the inhabitants of My Lady's Manor to Thomas Jennifer, Superintendant General of the Office of Finances for the State of Maryland with a request for the postponement of the sale of the Manor's lands until the next session of the Assembly as they intended to petition for a redress of their grievances. Among other signers were Thomas and William Galloway.

William and his wife, Mary, had six children who survived, three boys and three girls. Mary was pregnant at the time of her husband's death, but that child didn't live. (The truth just dawned on me that in my family, there were three generations of grandfathers who died young--Grandfather John William, GGrandfather Elisha, and GGGGrandfather William.

Specifically, William Galloway's will is listed in Baltimore County Maryland, and dated August 10, 1785:

In the name of God Amen, I, William Galloway of My Lady's Manor, Baltimore County, in the State of Maryland, being weak in body, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, land being of sound mind & memory, blessed by Almighty God for the same, do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner & form viz.

First, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife the one third of my Estate and also a mare and bed besides her one-third. Secondly, I give and bequeath unto my six children and the child or children with whom she is now big, the other two thirds of my estate, which said several bequests I will and order shall be paid unto the aforesaid legatees when they become of age, or sooner if necessity requires, or as my beloved wife shall think most beneficial and fitting for the benefit of the aforesaid legatees, to whom also I give and bequest the distribution share of all my aforesaid personal Estate goods of what kind or nature whatsoever. I also will and order that said estate shall be appraised, sold and divided among the aforesaid legatees aforesaid mentioned or as my beloved wife shall think fit, whom I appoint sole Executor of this my last will and Testament hereby revoking all former wills and testaments by me made. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 10th day of August, 1785. Signed by William, and witnessed by Syl Goggins, Walter Tibbitt, and James Pocock.

On September 16, 1785, his will was probated in Baltimore County, Maryland. On October 24, 1785, an Inventory was filed. Sarah Mcgaw (WHO WAS SHE?) was a creditor, and Thomas Jr. & Thomas listed as nearest of kin in Baltimore County, Maryland. Among many other listings on the Inventory: 11 sheep and 10 cows, 1 negro man named James, and 82 pounds, 10 shillings.; he also owned 120 (122 1/2) acres of land, and this was located in My Lady's Manor, Baltimore County, Maryland.

On March 27, 1787, an application was made for a patent, lot 14, 122 1/2 acres, purchased from Chris. Meyers, formerly Richardson's in Baltimore County. Mary had a certificate of survey dated November 10, 1784. MY LADY'S MANOR was situated, lying and being in Baltimore and Harford Counties and State of Maryland. It was laid out for 10,000 acres on August 26, 1713, Lord Baltimore's gift to Margaret, his wife..confiscated as Crown lands during the Revolutionary War. Resurveyed and sold by Commissioners appointed for that purpose, and sold at Slades's Tavern, October 22, 1782, and patented November 10, 1784.

On the 1790 census a Mary Galloway is listed with 2 M under 16, 4 F. and 1 slave. On December 14, 1791, 117 lbs on bond dated October 13, 1783 is paid to Sarah McGaw. On November 13, 1793, Elizabeth, daughter, was paid her share: 18 pounds, 13 shillings and 1 pence in the final account of estate of William.

On June 20, 1794, Mary Galloway married Francis Hare in Baltimore County, Maryland. This information about the Hair-Hare Family is the courtesy of Joan Guilford of Orange County, California. Francis Hare and Mary remained in Maryland where they parented three children: John (died young); Charity, m. Joseph McClung; Susanna m. Samuel McClung, brother of Joseph. Francis died before October of 1812 when his estate was settled. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS.

On July 9, 1802, Francis Hare was appointed guardian for our Elihu. On May 8, 1798, Thomas Galloway, the father of William, died in Baltimore County, Maryland. On December 7, 1799, Elijah, son, deeded to Sarah Galloway his share of Lot 14 in Baltimore County; on April 5, 1800, Sarah, dau, deeded to Francis Hare her shares of Lot 14; In October 1800 Jamima, dau, deeded her shares of Lot 14 to Francis Hare; on September 20, 1806, Elihu, son, deeded his shares to Francis Hare.

Frank Hare was on the 1810 Census with 1 male, 45+, 1 -10, 1-10-16, 1 26-45, 1 45+ female at Mine Run Hundred, Baltimore County, Maryland.

William and Mary Pocock Galloway's children were: Elijah, Elisha, Elihu, Elizabeth, Sarah and Jamima. Mary and Francis Hare's children were John, Charity and Susanna.
