He was educated in the > subscription schools, among the Quakers of Chester County. He was a close > stndent and a great teacher during his time. James left Chester County when > about twenty-five years old, and went to Ohio, where he remained a year or > so, when be returned to Pennsylvania and began > farming in Washington County. In December, 1825 he married Miss Margaret H. > Beatty, daughter of James and Margaret Beatty. Mr. Beatty was born near > Shepherdsburg, and his wife in Washington County, Pa. He was of English > ancestry, and she of Scotch- Irish. There were born to the parents of our > subject, six children: John B., William B., Robert P.,David H.,Joseph, James > H., and > Margaret. William B. lives just east of the one of whom we write. A sketch > of William is given elsewhere in this work; Robert P. died in 1861, leaving > a widow and one child; David H., in answer to his country's call, enlisted > as a private in Company D. 25th Illinois Infantry. He was promoted to > Sergeant-Major of his regiment, and would, douhtless, have won his way to > higher honors, had he not died very suddenly of rheumatism of the heart in > December,1862; James H. died when a boy, and Margaret when two years old; > Joseph is a bachelor and lives with our subject. John B. Galway married Miss > Elizabeth Mitchell, daughter of John and Christy Anna Mitchell, Oct. 30, > 1851. Mrs. Galway was born in Washington County, Pa., Sept. 1,1828. Her > father was a native of New Jersey, and of Irish ancestry. Her mother was a > native of the same county as her daughter, and came of German ancestry. > Three years after the marriage of our subject and wife, they removed to > Illinois and settled in Carroll Township, Vermilion County. A year after > this Mr. Galway removed to this county and rented the place now occupied by > H. Kendall in Young America Township. In 1861, having by industry, frugality > and economy, accumulated some means, he purchased eighty acres of land in > section 13, range 13, Young America Township. To this modest beginning he > has made > additions by purchase, until his present estate numbers 500 acres of > well-cultivated and exceedingly fertile land. It is sufficiently high to be > well drained, and is one of the most picturesque locations found in the > county. Though repeatedly solicited to run for office, Mr. Galway would not > consent to accept any but such as connected him with township affairs in > which he had a personal interest. He was the first Town Supervisor in 1857, > and served six years. He served as Township Treasurer thirteen years, and > was Justice of the Peace three years. He is the oldest Republican in Edgar > County; was one before the party was formed. When he lived along the > National road, which runs through Terre Haute, he used to see gangs of > negroes being driven to Missouri to be sold to the slave owners of that > State. The sight of these unfortunates-some white to all appearances-firmly > fixed him in his anti-slavery principles, and made him a Republican before > there was a Republican party in Illinois. He has been an active member of > his party, and has frequently served on the County Committee. He is a memher > of Burns Lodge No. 292, Knights of Honor, in which he holds the office of > Vice-Dictator. He is a member and Elder in the Christian Church. Four > children have been born to Mrs. and Mrs. Galway. The oldest, Roxana is the > wife of John O. Kizer, a, livery man of Metcalf; they have one child. James > H., who farms part of the homestead, married Daisey Kizer, cousin to > Roxana's husband; they have four children; Josephine and the fourth child > are deceased, the latter dying in infancy. > _William B.

It must be near Frederick, MD because that is this recent paper: "There's just too much focus on shopping during the holidays, said Allen Martin of Shepherdsburg, Pa., who was browsing Tuesday at Tropical Supermarket in Frederick. " Another old paper says Shepherdsburg and shepherdstown are the same. shepherdstown is in Jefferson co., WV Thanks all for the help. I guess we know the general area. D
