Hello Linda, ..................Happy Easter-Eve............................ One of the last questions that you asked on your 1830 Macon Co mailout to the list is, if anyone knew EXACTLY which part of modern day Trans....County is in which county in 1830? Well, I found a site on the web that gives you the general idea of the evolution of NC counties from 1700 to 1912( same as present ). A WARNING: this is a very general graphical representation of the NC map. There may be some specifics there but, I didn't seem to find 'em. The address is www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/ I don't know if you already know about this one or not but, maybe it can help someone on our list. Hope this helps somebody, Donny Arnold

this isn't exactly Galloway, but since you asked MMason1701 wrote: > In a message dated 98-04-10 22:09:01 EDT, you write: > > (Political note - the Sierrra Club is attempting to use my ancestors buried > there to justify opeing the region to 100,000 tourists a year. grrrrrrr. > > Linda, > Could you clarify that for me. I did not understand. You mean the Sierra > Club is trying to reopen the area due to the panther population ? > > Michelle This a very brief summary of local happenings:Aboutish 1930 or so, the families in Cane Break, and other small communities in the Jocassee Watershed sold their property to the government and moved out. This was around the time The Government was burning down the houses in the Smokies to force folks to sell, so I've often wondered just how voluntary the sales were. The Government later sold the land to Duke Power. Duke Power now wants to sell it to the state. The Sierra Club wants to turn it into a major State Park, something along the lines of the Great Smokies. Local folks want it to stay the same as it has been - accessible, but not promoted. Of course this also involves occasional hunting, one of the few remaining Cherokee traditions we have around here. The hunting is what officially has the Sierra Club all bent out of shape. My Uncle Bob worked long and hard to get all roads into the area shut down (except one during hunting season). The easy accessibility was leading to people dumping garbage all over the place, kids in 4 wheel drives and 4 wheelers tearing up the place, and major drug traffic between NC & SC. There was also too much activity going on for the endangered species there (Technically a rain forest - very unique). This includes the panthers who are trying to make a comeback - about three months ago one was even up here by my house. Bob is chairman of the Auger Hole Coalition, the local group trying to keep the area the way it is and has been for a few thousand years. Remember, there is currently public access - you just have to walk or ride a horse. Also a good idea to avoid snake season - ooodles of rattlers and copperheads. The Sierra Club wants to majorly promote the area, and bring in over 100,000 tourists a year, and open the roads back up. Bill Thomas, Chairman of the local Sierra Club, recently put out the first edition of the trail guide to help his political interests. They tricked my Uncle into telling where the old home places and cemeteries are located by promising a scholarly archeaological study of the region, and then tried to the sites on the map . The work was so hastily done that they didn't bother to actually find the sites, so the map is all wrong, covered with white-out, and cemetery is even misspelled (he has it as cemetary). The historical significance of the area is one of his reasons to bring everyone in. This first edition is more of a political statement than a trail guide. And since bringing that many people into the region would wreck havoc on the fragile environment, I'm really confused as to why the Sierra Club is doing it, unless they just want to sell more books and memberships. So to clarify, the Sierra Club isn't trying to help the panthers one bit. Since my multi -great grandpa Green was one of the folks who killed off all the panthers, I kind of feel responsible for helping them make a comeback. Interesting story here - he would lay down in a rotten log so the panther couldn't get him, then stick his toes out to bait the cats. He would then shoot the panther between his feet. We speculate that he probably didn't actually do this too many times. As for the cemeteries - my spouse has ancestors buried in Cades Cove over in Great Smokies. Trust me - having ancestors as a tourist attraction is a very weird concept and includes government regulation on how and when you can decorate & maintain the graves, not to mention the user fee. Having the graves of your ancestors used as part of someone's political agenda is down right pathetic. I'll hop off the soap box now. Known surnames buried down in the region in question include: PATTERSON (my folks), REAVIS, LOWE, CHAPPELL, CANTRELL, DODGEN, SANDERS. But there are more cemeteries than I have heard about, and several probably under Lake Jocassee. There just has to be at least one GALLOWAY somewhere - they seem to be everywhere else. I haven't posted any of these cemeteries yet because they are too far for my little Alex to hike to. -- Linda Hoxit Raxter lraxter@citcom.net See Indexed Western North Carolina Cemetery Surveys http://www.geocities.com/~alextreehouse related to at least half the county - at least once ; )

A very well researched book with solid documentation. Keep in mind, that means it also has the bias of the documentation. So That of Cathey's Creek records claim that they were the first church and New Prospect split off becuase they were currently involved in a nasty feud, the bias would be carried into her book. Ray Von is they one who started speculating that the split might have gone the other direction. > * There's got to be a great novel or screenplay lurking under surface > of your the last paragraph.

Who the heck was Ray, > how does he fit in, and could "Von" be just a variant of "Vaughn"? I hadn't thought about that. This Ray Von got his name from another Ray Von. Ray Von Galloway was the person who dared to preach Pentacostal doctrine from a Baptist pulpit. You have to admire him for sticking with his beliefs. He is a really nice guy, and his Mother and Step-Father are the oldest folks in the community and were the ones who finally told me where Ninive was (Tanasee gap Road aboutish where Woods memorial church is +/- two three miles or so if you ever find it listed in your documents). > I'm new enough to all this that I've been assuming that everyone > involved in tracking down their McCall/Galloway/Owen ancestors in or > from Transylvania county already knows everyone else involved. NOBODY has ever sorted out ALL the Owens, Galloways, McCalls, or any other family which settled in the area before 1850. If any one ever makes this claim, run away quickly and guard your wallet. Also look around upper SC for Galloways - they settled on the state line just to make research more difficult. > Could it be that the readers of the Galloway list aren't generally familiar > with Shawna's database and related xxxx.rtf files?

Don't know about pottery, but... James "Jimmie" Owen (04APR1817-23MAR1899) m. Elizabeth Parker (04OCT1816-23MAR1899). They were first cousins. Jimmie accidently shot a "Cherokee Cheif" while serving on the military side of "The Trail of Tears". fearing that the remaining Cherokee would kill him, he fled with his family to towns Co, GA. One of his sons (not sure which), did manage to lope with his girlfriend on the way. Jimmie was the brother of Andrew Jackson Owen. > 2. I've grown up hearing about being 1/4 or 5/16 Cherokee.

The threat of one drop of Cherokee blood earning you a one way trip to Oklahoma was very real until the late 1800's. So everyone falsified documents all over the place. The victors write the history, and now everyone tends to interpret these documents from a european perspective. Keep in mind it may be only one side of the story. As for inter-racial marriage. If you were a teenager living here before say 1805, unless you wanted to take a vow of chastity, you had no problem with inter-racial marriage. I'm sure your research has already prooved that chastity was not widely practiced. The result is that we are a bunch of mutts. For you case specifically, there are a lot of Cherokee rumors about the Parker family in particular so you might want to look there and let me know if you find anything. > Linda, please use your own judgment on whether any of this or your > responses should go to the Galloway list.

A little local lore here. There is the matter of the mysterious New Prospect Church. First a warning - when traveling in Upper Transylvania County NEVER tell an old timer which was the first Baptist church in the county, or which was the first "Missionary arm " (split). There are about three contenders for first church and two contenders for first split. And folks have very strong opinons on these things. Actually I've been looking for a list like this. Probably the most widely accepted version is that Cathey's Creek Baptist Church was the first church. The folks at Macedonia say they were the first missionary arm (split over slavery/and the long walk - for their side, Macedonia folks was sick of the constant pro-slavery sermons). the folks at East Fork claim to be the first split. Apparently both happened about the same time. Now for the dangerous part. There are actual real live records of a New Prospect Church. Records say that New Prospect split from Cathey's Creek about 1820. about 20 or so of the 40 or so members left to form the new church which was located where Mack McCall cemetery is now. There already was a family cemetery established here by the Parker and Brown families. New Prospect church "disappeared" about 1840, though the early records at Toxaway Lakeside Baptist Church refer to the church as New Prospect. There has also been the suggestion made by Ray Von Galloway that New Prospect was originally located further up in the hills, say about Tannassee gap, and was the mother Church for all the churches which followed. Of course, Ray Von Galloway was the cause of the split between Macedonia & Mtn View Baptist Churches in Gloucester and later formed a Pentacostal Church. I have been unable to get so much as a peep out of anyone about New Prospect, and the folks up there all deny it's existance. What does any of this have to do with the list. Well, there are almost 40 members listed prior to "the formal organization of the church in 1822". Perhaps, Catheys' Creek did actually split off of New Prospect and their ego just blamed it on the other side. I noticed there are no Browns or Parkers though they were definately living in the area at the time. Just something to think about. -- Linda Hoxit Raxter lraxter@citcom.net See Indexed Western North Carolina Cemetery Surveys http://www.geocities.com/~alextreehouse related to at least half the county - at least once ; )

GALLOWAY FAMILY William Frazier Galloway was the great grandson of William Galloway, one of the seven stalwart Galloway brothers who came to America from Ireland through the Philadelphia Port in Pennsylvania in 1741. William Frazier Galloway was the first of the Galloways to come to the area that later became Fannin County. Let us trace some facts about the Galloways. The extreme south of Scotland is the land of Galloway. The family is of pure Scotch origin. It was domiciled in the southwest part of Scotland, in the districts composed of Wigton and Kirkudbright of today. During the persecution of the Christians in Scotland, some of the Galloways emigrated across the Irish Sea, settling in County Antrim, Ireland. The Galloway coat of arms is a globe within a crown and a cross mounted on top. The globe is surrounded on each side by a stalk of grain. The word "higher" denoting aspiration, is underneath, and the whole is within a circle. The Galloway Flail was a formidable war instrument made of three or four heavy iron rods about a foot in length, linked together and wielded with a handle. Nothing could stand before the Flail. It was used widely for defense in their persecution against the Covenanters. William Penn established his colony in Pennsylvania in 1681 and issued a call for seekers of freedom to settle there. The seven Galloway brothers responded. Said Rev. Robert Simpson in his History of the Covenanters, page 163, "Sturdier Covenanters existed not in the Country." Samuel, John, William, James, Peter, Thomas and George Galloway came to America and settled for a time in Mifflin County near Logan's big spring in the Kishocoquillas Valley on the Juanita River. >From there they migrated south and west. Tradition holds that Samuel Galloway's wife Elizabeth was a Graham. She was killed by Indians in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in 1755. Also killed a the same time was the wife of her son, William, and their two small children. John Galloway, another son of Samuel and Elizabeth, moved west into Ohio. A son, Samuel, a noted orator and politician, became Secretary of State of Ohio. William Frazier Galloway was born in Transylvania County, North Carolina, July 2, 1802. His wife Levise McClure, was born near Wallhalla, South Carolina in 1797. The following land transaction is recorded in Book H, page 95, Buncombe County, North Carolina (No. 2534) and was probably made by William Frazier Galloway's father: "....a tract of land containing 300 acres lying and being in the county of Buncombe, on both sides of the East Fork of the French Broad River...on the 29th day of November in the 39th year of our Independence in the year of our Lord, 1814. " (Registered 25th November, 1815) William Frazier Galloway and wife Levise were the first white people to settle at the mouth of Hot House Creek on the banks of the Toccoa River in the summer of 1822. The land was then a part of the Cherokee Nation, and was called Cherokee County, Georgia. In Harbert Harvey Galloway's World History Book was this information: "William Frazier Galloway was assigned by Governor John Clark to travel to North Cherokee County as a blacksmith for the Cherokee Indians." President Andrew Jackson approved money to have north Georgia surveyed in 1833. Gilmer county was formed from part of the original Cherokee County, as was Union County. In 1854 the 8th District, Second Section was taken from Gilmer County, and the 1st District, Second Section from Union County to form Fannin. Harbert Galloway also stated that James Walker Fannin, for whom the county was named, was a friend of William Frazier Galloway and lived at Sweet Gum (Union/Fannin/) County for a time before he went to Texas and lost his life in the Texas War for Independence. William Frazier Galloway remained a blacksmith for the Cherokees until the time of their removal n 1838. He lived out most of his life at the site where he had settled (he may have returned to North Carolina for short intervals). He and his wife Lavise were buried in the Galloway Cemetery overlooking the Toccoa River where he settled. She died in 1873 and he in 1883. This land transaction is recorded in Book E, Gilmer County, Georgia, 1840-1842: Alexander H. McDaniel (pages 417-18): June 26, 1840. State of Georgia, Gilmer County, between Alexander H. McDaniel of the County of Chatham, state of Georgia, of the one part, and William F. Galloway of the county of Gilmer and state of Georgia of the other part....said Alexander H. McDaniel, for $75...8th District, 2nd Section of original Cherokee County, now Gilmer County, known by the No. 100 lot containing 160 acres. Sheriff's sale. Witnesses, E.W. Chastain, and J.S. Chastain, JP. Recorded March 22, 1842. Joseph Pickett, Clerk." Lot 100 was land lying at the mouth of Hot House Creek on the Toccoa River in present day Fannin County. Frazier and Levise McClure Galloway had three sons: Henry, born in 1824; Harbert Harvey, born November 13, 1826; and Asbury, born in 1830. Harbert Harvey Galloway married Mary M. Wikle in 1847. Eight children were born to them: William Henry (October 29, 1849-September 26, 1875, did not marry); Martha Caroline (February 24, 1851-April 4, 1918, married Ross Ellis); John DeKalb (September 23, 1853-July 20, 1933, married California Jane Harper); Maney Josephine (August 11, 1856-February 25, 1929, married John Vestal); Jesse Winfield (May 25, 1858-January 8, 1941, married Catharine Imenda Wilson); James Lycurgus (June 8, 1862-June 2, 1905, married Mary Ann Barker); and George Washington (August 11, 1864-June 2, 1905, married Mend Bennett). Harbert Galloway was a farmer and a history buff. He wrote The World History Book. He is buried in the Galloway Cemetery. Harbert's seventh child, James Lycurgus Galloway, born Jun 8, 1862, married Mary Ann Barker. Lycurgus was a farmer, owned a general store, was postmaster at Galloway Station Post Office, and was tax collector for Fannin County at the time of his death June 2, 1905. He was buried in the Galloway Cemetery. Lycurgus and Mary Ann Galloway were parents of Charlie, Hayden, Luther, Edd, Dolly, George, Minnie, Fred and Bessie. William Frazier Galloway's descendants are active in community affairs in Fannin County today. Some are listed here: Wilma Galloway Lawrence, postmaster, McCaysville; Claude Galloway, retired teacher; Bernice Galloway Ash, wife of retired Fannin County Commissioner; Pearl Galloway Ballew, wife of retired Baptist minister; James R. Galloway, Baptist minister; Evelyn Waters Panter, Board of Voter Registration; Lois Scott, retired, Fannin County Nursing Home; Charles F. Galloway, magistrate, Fannin County, January 1, 1972-December 31, 1984; magistrate, City of McCaysville, January 8, 1975-January 31, 1986. -----------by Charles F. Galloway Copied from Facets of Fannin, A History of Fannin County, page 315/316, article #F220 GALLOWAY, WILLIAM FRAZIER Leroy Weese, born in Fannin County, Georgia, now living in Uniontown, Ohio provides a summary of his many years of research on the Galloway Family of Fannin County. He found records linking the family to their European roots while he lived for a while in Northern Ireland. Galloway refers to the southwestn hill district in Scotland. The name goes back to the ancient race of Picts and means "shite hill face". Some Galloway families were among the Scots resettled in Northern Ireland in the early seventeenth century. The name is still common in Scotland and Northern Ireland. William Galloway, the Scotch-Irish ancestor of most of the Galloways of Fannin County, came to Virginia from Northern Ireland before the Revolutionary War. Back in Ireland, his father was Joabe and his grandfather was Absalom Galloway. William eventually settled in Buncombe (now Transylvania) County, North Carolina where he bought land in 1814. Today Galloway is the second most common name in Transylvania County. William Frazier Galloway, born 1802 in Virginia, a son of the immigrant, married Lavisa McClure, born in 1797 in Pendleton District, South Carolina. They settled on the Toccoa River in what is now Fannin County, Georgia , long before the removal of the Cherokee. Their children remembered Indian playmates. Census records indicate they were in Georgia when their son, Asbury, was born in 1830. William Frazier and Lavisa McClure Galloway had three sons: (1) Harbard Harvey, born in 1826, married Mary Malinda Wikle, born in 1818, daughter of Henry and Anna Bandy Wikle. The Wikles were among the earliest settlers in the Cartecay Community in Gilmer County, Georgia. The Galloways living in Fannin County and the Copper Basin are mainly their descendants. Harbard and Mary Malinda had these children: William Henry, born in 1849, died unmarried at age twenty-six; Martha Caroline, born in 1851, married Ross Ellis; Lavisa Ann, born in 1852, died as an infant; John DeKalb, born in 1853, married California Jane "Callie" Harper, daughter of William and Narcissa Ann Russell Harper; Nancy Josephine, born in 1856, married John Vestal; Jesse Winfield, born in 1858, married Catharine Imanda "Mandia" Wilson, daughter of John V. and Mary Willson; Elizabeth, born in 1860, died as an infant; James Lycurgus, born n 1862, married Mary Ann "Sis" Barker, daughter of Thomas Grady Barker and a daughter of Benjamin Burgess; and George Washington, born in 1864, married Amanda "Mend" Bennett. (2) The second son of William Frazier and Lavisa Galloway was Asbury, born in 1830 in Georgia. He has no known descendants in Fannin County. (3) Their third son was Mitchell, born in 1832 in Georgia, with no known descendants in Fannin. John DeKalb and Callie Harper Galloway had the following issue: Francis Marion, born in 1878, married Alice Chastain; Flora Ella, born in 1881, married Lee Chastain; Dixie Naomi, born in 1883, married Sam Dunn; Sam, born in 1884, married, first Annie Matthews, and second, Ophelia Griggs; Julia Mae, born in 1885, married Wilbur Wehunt; Nora Emma, born in 1887, married Thomas Linton Weese, son of Osborne Weese and Addie Elizabeth Cabe; Amanda Adaline "Addie", born in 1888 married Sidney Callihan; Hariate Jane "Hattie", born in 1890; Lillie Della; and John Claude, born in 1900, married Nola Dilbeck. James Lycurgus "Curg" and Mary Ann "Sis" Barker Galloway had these children: Hayden Blaine "Pink" born in 1884, married Hattie White; Luther Thomas, born in 1888, married Ethel Davis; Edward Frazier "Ed", born in 1890, married Minnie A. Chastain; Charles Harvey, born in 1892, married Edgel Denny; Margaret Malinda "Minnie", married Charles Shell; George Dewey, born in 1896, married Bessie Smith; Dollie Madison, born in 1898, died in 1903; Fred Morris married Ann Patterson; and Essie Beula married John Waters. During the War Between the States, the Galloways fought for or sympathized with the South. The Galloway family has traditionally been Democrat in politics and Baptist in religious faith. ------- Doyle R.

Donny and anyone else, now that Bernice, my beloved computer, is listening instead of just my poor frazzled brain, could you tell me again who you have for Wm. Frazier's kids? I think you had more than I did.
