Hello Galloway Researchers: those of you researching the Adam Galloway and Sarah Leach family will find the following link valuable. I found this in an 1883 Jefferson County Illinois History. It reveals that brothers John L. and David (Il, Ark. to Texas) had at least three sisters: (1) Lucinda b. 1817 who married Benjamin Maxfield. Apparently she stayed in Illinois (you can find them on the 1880 Jefferson Co. census); as well as (2) Elizabeth Dicey Galloway b. 1832 who married 1st Samuel Burkes and 2nd John Stacy. She went to Mclennan Co, TX and had a number of children there and then returned to Jefferson Co. Illinois. And finally (3) Sarah Galloway b. 1828 Illinois m. Elijah Flowers. (See 1850 St. Louis and 1860 Jefferson Co. Illinois.) The bio reports that Adam and Sarah had 12 children with 9 living to adulthood. Adam fought in the war of 1812. Adam and Sarah came to Edwards county in 1818; Adam died in Sangamon and Sarah died in Jackson Co. Illinois. This article confirms our hunches/evidence about Adam tying Elizabeth Dicey to John in McLennan 1860. They are living next door to one another.

I hope this advances our research and I would love to hear from some of the ancestors of these three sisters in Illinois.
