Fred Anson Galyean - Father emigrated from Northern Ireland 1800s

emminags — 2009-05-22 12:40:30Z

Unfortunately I am descended through the maternal line (Zelma Grace Galyean b. 1906 d. 1999 is my grandmother on my father's side) so I can't participate in the study but I have been able to verify that her father, Fred Anson Galyean, was born in Iowa in 1872 and both of his parents (don't know the first names) were born in Northern Ireland.

My guess is his parents were probably born circa 1840-1850 in Northern Ireland. Has anyone else been able to trace the Galyeans into Northern Ireland around this time?

Thanks,
Mike Green

Re: Hannah Gallion b. 1802 m. Uriah White

RedVdub1 — 2009-02-03 14:11:37Z

from G.T. Galyon-I am a long time Gallion/Galyon/etc. researcher. Right now I cannot connect Hannah Gallion into the lineage. Where did you pick up this record for her? What county in Mo. did she live in. Perhaps Hannah lived in close proximity to other Gallions and that could give us a clue. Do you know what state she was born in. I do have a record for a Marilda Gallion married to a James White in Mississippi Co., Mo. on 4/1/1847. It's probably just a coincidence.

Gallion/Galyon is a French name (Gallienne) but they came to America from England...in 1664. They were Londoners and lived very near to the Tower in Old London..they went to St. Olave's Church on Hart Street which is about two blocks north and two blocks east of the Tower. They settled in Maryland and became tobacco planters. Shortly before the Revolution they started migrating southward towards Va. and NC.

The more information I can get about Hannah the more likely it is that I can make at least an educated guess as to where she connects back in. There are not that many Gallions around.

Re: Hannah Gallion b. 1802 m. Uriah White

I have two White families. One starts with William White Sr.,Wm. White Jr.,Wm. Clark White,John Wesley White, Bob Cheatham White,Jural C. White my mother, myself (Tina). I believe that your Uriah may be the son of my William,being that they both came through and lived in Lincoln Co. Tn. for awhile. My Wm.Jr. was born 1755 in Va. and is thought to have died in Lincoln Co. Tn. burial is unknown.Most of his children lived in or around Giles Co. Tn. after moving from Lincoln Co.Giles Co. is close to Limestone Co. Al. where most of my family lived.Do you know of any old stories told by the older people connected to Uriah? If so I might be able to connect them by some stories told. I have been working on this family for 10 years can't connect some Whites when I have a gutt feeling that they do,need some proof.Did Uriah ever live in Ky.? Some of Wm's family was in Ky. for awhile.Maybe Ohio,Ind.

Re: New Gallion Galyean Galyon yDNA Project started

Lighthorseman — 2008-10-29 12:21:23Z

It is interesting that thus far your DNA testing has indicated ties with Northern Ireland. In County Derry Northern Ireland there is Sliabh Gallion, a mountain. In County Meath, Republic of Ireland there is the Barony of Morgallion. Morgallion is a combination of two words, Mor from the Gaelic meaning big or great and Gallion from the Normans as a translation of Gailenga, an early tribe prominent in Ireland until about the 12th or 13th centuries.

John C. Gallion, b. abt 1800 Kentucky, m. Susan, lived in Texas by 1834

Lighthorseman — 2008-10-29 12:20:29Z

John was born about 1800 in Kentucky. Was in Texas by 1834 with wife and children. Wife, Susan, born about 1810. Daughter, Ruberta (Roberta?), born about 1825. Daughter, Ellen, born about 1827. Daughter, Lucy, born about 1827 (Ellen and Lucy apparently were twins) Daughter, Phoebe, born about 1833. Daughter, Dalsia, born 1835.

Does anyone have information about John prior to 1835? Who were his parents, siblings etc.? What was his middle name?

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

ejgallion — 2008-05-31 19:37:27Z

I've been unable to find out where they went for sure. I saw the stuff about moving to MO, but I'm not sure I buy that. As near as I can determine from the old albums, it looks like Wm E stayed in the Oakdale/Knoxville area (was a teacher at Oakdale) and then an MD. He had at least one sibling (Thomas L. born 9/17/1883 in Tenn - shown with wife Annie in the 1930 census - I think I found him in the 1920 census spelled 'Galyon') I've got copies of both Wm & Tho. death certificates showing their parents as John Gallion and Malinda Jane Wade. This fits with some old references to my Dad's uncle Tom. I think the dates I've seen for this John and Malinda in Mo wouldn't allow for having a child in Tenn at the end of 1883.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

ejgallion — 2008-06-01 02:08:31Z

Sorry, my info is the same as yours - I haven't found anything either. I don't see Wm E in the records again till 1910 after he married my grandmother, Emma Webb. What date do you show for Tho L. and Annie's marriage?

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

Just to definitely rule out the John A. and Melinda J. of Sevier Co., I have the death certificates for their sons, William and Thomas, who both died in Knox Co. This rules out Cheryl's William as being the son of this John. Here's a link to the list of all the death certificate's I've got if anyone's interested. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GALLION/2007-12/1197325...

New Gallion Galyean Galyon yDNA Project started

Kdecker973 — 2007-10-09 06:26:24Z

We are excited to announce that we have initiated a new yDNA Project for the surnames Gallion, Galyean, Galyon, and any other variations that may exist. We started this project after discovering a perfect 37 marker match between two men, one a direct descendant of Shadrick Galyean, b 1801 of Surry, NC and the other a direct descendant of Daniel Galyean, b. 1802 in NC and d. in Knox Co., TN. What this 37 marker match means is that they have a 97.6% probability of sharing a common ancestor within 8 generations, which supports the theory that Daniel is most likely the son of Young Galyean and Shadrick the son of Samuel, both Young and Samuel being sons of Jacob Gallion of Surry Co., NC.

While analyzing the yDNA, which is a small piece of DNA that changes only minimally over the generations and is passed intact father to son, cannot tell us the precise relationship between ancestors, it can strongly support or definitely disprove the paper trails we have gathered. In some instances, where mutations are exclusive to certain branches of the family, it can actually pinpoint the common ancestors. We hope that by getting other men who have variations of the surname involved in our project we can help to further refine the Gallion etc. families in the United States.

Another interesting discovery in these yDNA results is that the Haplogroup, which is the classification for deep ancestry, looking at very early migrations, is R1b1c7 which is primarily found in Northern Ireland. We are hoping that as more people with different variations of the name get involved in the project, a clearer picture of the European origins of our Gallion/Galyean/Galyon families will emerge as well, so participation is encouraged for all with similar names, not just those who know their origins.

The link to our new Project Homepage is: http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/g/gallion/index.html This page will have links at the top of it to view the actual yDNA results as well as the Patriarch's page where the pedigrees for participating family branches are listed. There is also a link for requesting a kit, should you be interested in joining the project.

Our email addresses are listed on the project homepage, and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Re: New Gallion Galyean Galyon yDNA Project started

Kdecker973 — 2007-12-17 15:38:40Z

Yes, you are right. The yDNA testing is solely for the male line. I'm hoping to get representatives from as many variations of the name as possible. I don't think we need any other descendants of Daniel and Shadrick Galyean, as these lines are both validated now, but sure would sure like to find other male lines from all of the other Gallion lines, particularly other sons of Jacob and earlier to try find a mutation or two to help break down more lines.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

clgallion — 2007-12-08 15:53:39Z

Hi, Yes that is my immediate family. Brooks is in the 1900 census. I'm not sure how much information you've collected in general on Gallions but I can send you photos of the census pages if you like. :) I know you have a huge amount of info on the Gallions. (probably because we are so cool) LOL.
William is my grandfather and he was born in Sevier TN. His Father is John A Gallion and mother is Melinda J Wade. But other than that my info is sketchy at best. I do know that John A Gallion was killed in a bar fight or over a poker game. That's why the kids end up as indentured servants and Thomas was with Nancy Gallion.
William, Ruff, and Lilian were placed with or "bound" to Wm Richie. I also know that as a boy, (before he was a teenager)Ruff avenged his father's death by going to the home of the man who shot his father, knocking on the door and shooting the man when he came to the door.

I have tried to find records of the incidents with no luck. I am sure Ruff was punished by the legal system but I just can't seem to find any information.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

RedVdub1 — 2007-12-15 17:49:16Z

I have Thomas A. and Melinda Wade in the 1880 Sevier Co., TN census with son William (1 yr. old). I note that Thomas and Melinda were married in Sevier Co. on 4-16-1879 in Knox Co., TN. Amanda next shows in the 1910 Ala. (Morgan Co.) census as a "widow" with sons Laty P. (b.'83), Wm. M., and DIL Josie V., and GD Cordie A. (b.'06)..and your information does affirm her "widowhood". John A. was listed as a "teacher" in the 1880 Sevier Co. census.

John A. was son to Thomas Young Gallion of Knox Co. and his 1st wife Martha Jane McMillan who were married 5-20-1847 in Knox Co., TN. John A.'s blood brothers were Joseph Strong (a lifelong farmer in Jefferson Co.), and Drs. Ernest Wm. and Ernest McMillan Gallion of Jefferson Co., TN. Dr. Ernest Gallion died ca. 1900 in Jefferson Co. of meningitis. Dr. Thomas William Gallion went to Calif. where he died ca. 1915 somewhere around Bakersfield. John A. had one full sister; Susan E. who married a Fred H. McCampbell in Knoxville on 4-6-1892; and two half sisters Mary A. and Eva.

Does the Morgan Co. 1910 census entry for Melinda sound right to you?

NOw as to who Thomas Young's father was. Thomas Young was son to a Thomas and Alvira Deal Gallion who themselves were married in Burke Co., NC. Thomas Young was born ca. 1825 in Buncombe Co., NC which was formed from Burke Co., NC. Thomas and Alvira emigrated to Sevier Co., TN between `825 and 1830 and were in the 1830 Sevier Co., TN census. In 1840 and 1850 we find Thomas in the Knox Co. censi. In 1850 Thomas Y. established his household quite near to Thomas. References for the above are "Alabama Memorial Records-Jo Gallion; and Goodspeed's History of Eastern TN-Dr. T.W. Gallion of Dandridge, TN". However, I picked up the fact that the Y. in Thomas Y. stood for young from oral history phone communications. Thomas Y. went by the name "Young" and n ot by Thomas..probably did so to distinguish himself from his father. And that name "Young" is very important because it ties his family to that of Thomas and Mary Young Gallion of Harford Co., Maryland. We cannot be sure exactly how but I suspect that it is fairlt direct..I descend from Jacob Gallion who was son to Thomas and Mary Young Gallion. I suspect that said Thomas was a nephew to Jacob Gallion through a brother to Jacob also named Thomas. It is somewhat less likely but probable that our Thomas Gallion was a GS to Jacob through a son named Thomas...but I doubt that one because of other associations that I have made. Unfortunately, there were quite a few Thomas Gallions around ca. 1800.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

RedVdub1 — 2007-12-17 22:34:50Z

I now believe that the Morgan Co., Ala. census entry is not your Melinda Wade Gallion...but you can be dead sure about the Sevier Co., TN entry because there is also a marriage record with a date that goes along with that entry.

It is odd that you cannot find a newspaper entry for the death of John A. Gallion in a "bar fight". Especially at that date..189x....

"Does the Morgan Co. 1910 census entry for Melinda sound right to you? "

No it does not. I don't think that is her.
I'm not really sure about the John & Melinda connection in the Sevier TN census.
My cousin, whom I've never met, convinced me of it but I've always had my doubts.

William Gallion grew up in Pemiscot Co. MO, with two younger brothers and sister, Tom, Ruff and Lillian until his father died.

None of the children knew their mother's name and their father died when when the kids were young.
He was killed in a bar room fight.

After Williams father was killed Ruff and Lillian lived bound to man. William was a servant for another man.

Ruff killed the man that killed John Gallion when he was 10 or 12 and served prison time for killing him.

It appears that Tom lived with a stepmother.
I believe her name was Nancy Haney, they show up in a Dunklin CO MO census.
I don't know why the 3 younger children were split up but I suspect it was poverty.

I have looked and looked but cannot find information on the death of John Gallion, I would think it must be somewhere but I can't find it.

Hi George, you are the person I was thinking about when I made this post. What I got to wondering was..
There were Tiptons in Cades Cove TN, and there were Gallions in Sevier TN. There were also Burchfields' (I'm a Burchfield and a Gallion)in the area.
So I was wondering about a connection in marriage with your name...
Hmmm guess not. Well you never know sometimes, my father was originally named Shirley Brooks Gallion... Which was changed to Brooks Sheryl, I assume he complained about it.

The way he got his name is his mother was so grateful for the midwife's help she named him after the midwife. After seeing his first census 1900 Pemiscot Cty MO, I can only assume the midwife's name was Shirley Brooks :)
You never know how a family gets another name in their name. ;)

Awesome!! Thanks so much! =)

I didn't think he was but so many of my-side of the Gallions have accepted that, it’s been hard to dispute it once it got out there.

Would you please email me? clgallion at gmail dot com

I would love to know more about your family tree.

Thank you
Cheryl

I can confirm that John A & Melinda's boy Wm didn't move to Mo. - He's was my grandfather, William Earnest Gallion, who passed away in 1951 in Knoxville

That is probably Ernest McMillan Gallion, son of Thomas Young Gallion & Martha Jane McMillan of Knox Co. Tennessee.
