Believe it or not, GenWeb finally has information about Transylvania County. Okay, so it's in the archives, not one county page that Jane Moyer refuses to do anything with, but it's there. 1913-1914 Death Certificate information - on-line! There are, well, more than a couple of Galloways. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/transylv.htm -- 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 ; )

I was supposed to put the new survey up, but I was just plumb tuckered out last night. Here is what happened: Everybody needs to send a BIG thank you to Donny. He left Georgia early yesterday morning and possibly robbed a Home Depot on the way up here. Anyway, he had every kind of cutting implement known to mankind and did most of the heavy duty work. The little cemetery where I only found 10 graves last fall is now in the sunshine again. By the end of it, there were 31 marked graves (Most just with fieldstones). Believe it or not, the rows are perfectly straight. Someone put a lot of effort into planning that little cemetery, I'm glad it's cleared off again. The major battle was with the Laurel thicket. There were several small trees, many of which were dead, which were also removed. When we left, there were only two graves remaining which still had trees growing in them - these were to large for us to remove without doing further damage. We also unburied three stones - one of which we had to fight some laurel roots for. It was worth it, we were able to make out a partial date. It was also the stone that a family memeber had hand made for someone they lived very much. A few trees were left between graves to keep any drunk kids who were driving by from being tempted. You still can't see it from the road. But once you get there, it looks like a cemetery again. A representative from the Abandoned Cemetery Committee stopped by, was very impressed, and said she will be reporting that the family is doing a good job of maintaining the cemetery. Still some work to be done. Eventually, we will need to remove the brush that has been piling up. Every 10 years, the abandoned cemetery committee cleans it off and they have been leaving the brush behind. We had a bit more than originally expected ourselves. Donny's suggestion was to get a large chipper, and make some mulch which can be mounded over the graves to help stop the forest from taking over. We also need to dig out the laurel stumps. We cut them down, but all that does is give them a good pruning so they grow back stronger. But annual shrub cleanings should keep it from getting out of hand again. It would also be good to remove the two trees still on graves - but someone with the right equipment and knowhow will have to do that. I'll get the new improved cemetery survey posted tonight - I promise. -- 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 ; )

Preliminary forcasts say that Sunday is going to fall between floods so it looks like we're on. Meet about 1:30 at the Sassafras Mtn Lookout tower parking lot. Wear comfy woodsey clothes as opposed to the Sunday best you usually wear to cemetery decorations, and bring your own pruning clippers. Let me know if you can make it so I'll have some idea of how many heads to look for. -- 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 ; )

In all our little gedcom files, Calvin is listed as the son of Thomas G. Gallway and Sarah Galloway. The census reports also list her as Sallie. Calvin's death certificate lists her as "Tallie" - with excellent handwriting for once. Informant is Wilburn Galloway. There is a Cherokee name which can be written in english as both Sallie and Tallie - Cherokee has some very interesting consonants. I checked this out with a Cherokee e-friend who speaks the language because my mouth has never been able to successfully create those sounds. Other info from the death certificate: B. 22APR1857 D. 27JAN1943 12:48 of Cerebral hemmorhage in Rosman his wife was Mary Jane and he was widowed at the time of his death Buried 28JAN1943 in Cathey's Creek Cemetery by Wilburn Galloway. And if you haven't heard the tale, it had been raining like crazy, and they couldn't get the wagon up to Folly Gap to bury him there. He is apparently in a grave marked only with a fieldstone. At least I don't find him listed in Monteith's Cemetery Survey. They may have placed a marker for him since the survey was done. -- 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 ; )

Have you ever thought it was odd that a man who lived to be 88 years old only had 6 children, one of who he fathered at age 84 !?! But that happens to be the current ifo about William Galloway, B 1764, D. 1851. You'll be happy to know that I found evidence of some more kids - no names, though. I once found William in the 1804 Walton County Census which said there were 7 white folks, and I could only account for 5 Galloways. Now there is more 1810 Buncombe County census as interpreted by James Woolley Household of William Galloway on page 293 (Next door to a James FRAZIER for all you William Frazier Galloway folks to ponder) Males: 45+ 1 (William Galloway) 26-45 1 (? - Jimmie should be 20 - he appears to have already left home?) 16-26 0 (where Jimmie should be listed if he were still here) 10-16 2 (John Colby is 16 years at this time - I cannot account for the other one) 0-10 3 (William D, George Washington, & 1 other) Females: 45+ 0 26-45 1 (wife Sarah Essary?) 16-26 0 10-16 1 (Sarah Elizabeth) 0-10 1 (????) So we have at leats three extra kids. And a missing adult. And the additional problem of fathering a child at age 84 which whil technically possible, is just not very practicle. Couple of possibilities: 1. We have the wrong birth date for Jimmie, and he is the 26-45 year old male still looking for that special someone. 2. We have a William Sr & William Jr in the same house. 3. We have some members of the alien fleet still here to watch over the intergration of their people into our society. -- 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 ; )

I have got to update that web page. I have a list of about 18 names now to go with those 12 graves. A big goal of mine in the clean-up is to figure out where the other graves are. Probably have us all meet at the nearby (sort-of) lookout tower parking lot on Sassafrass Mountain around 1:30 since that is an easy to find on the map location. Folly Gap Cemetery isn't. Leave the weedeater behind - not enough room to manuever. But we'll need some serious pruning clippers. There is a laurel hell trying to take over. Good move not to wait until summer to visit - lot's of snakes. Hopefully the dry trend will continue. I really don't want to get too close to my ancestors. The plan is that March 22, weather permitting, to clean off the brush and secretly abduct the survey marker. If any one fusses, the Chairman of the historic properties commission suggested that I do it. Come to find out, the survey marker was placed there by the state. Apparently they are still trying to sort out where the line is between NC & SC (Come on people, you've had over 200 years!). Hope they don't run into any moonshine stills this time. I'm trusting they are done with this little section. This is good news. If they do sell the lot, it should put the cemetery on the edge of the property and I doubt anyone would build a house there. That's the problem with these developments. You don't know if the person who buys it will be friend or foe, or even just someone with an over active bulldozer. The brush is pretty overwhelming. The folks at the abandoned cemetery committee swear they cleared it off recently. I just replied that it was not to my families standards and we would do it ourselves. I've been in a lot of old cemeteries and this one is pretty bad. Once we can see what we have to deal with, we can figure out what to do (weekend #2). We can't put in a fence until we determine where the original fence, if there was one, was. If we can find the old fence, we will know where to look for the graves. Then there are the TREES. How do we get them down without destroying the few markers I don't know. It is going to take some thought. It will have to wait until next time. Probably need to wait until the trees are gone to add the gravel. I promised we would only be removing brush this go round and discussing what to do next. So far, the developers have been amazingly helpful with this and another nearby cemetery, Liz Reece Cemetery. The development is "Indian Camp Mountain Estates". Maybe the thought of my finding real live dead Indians there is appealing to them. They've already named the road leading to Liz Reece cemetery Liz Reece road. That's another issue with this cemetery. At least one grave appears to be part Cherokee. Liz Reece Cemetery, where I was today, has really got some Cherokee blood in it. This is great - no one can touch a cemetery with Native American's buried in it. Of course, that kind of applies to us to some extent. I have been requested by tribal members to put cedar boughs on any Native American graves instead of plastic flowers. Do you have any other ancesters up here that you would like to visit? I'll try and figure out where they may be hiding. wdarnold@wtsrv1.mar.lmco.com wrote: > Linda, > Hello, I am a direct decendant of John and Kizza G. thru Wm.

When researching John & William Galloway we definately have to look into the family of John's son Thomas G & William's Dtr Sarah "Sallie" M. Info I have: Thomas was born about 1820 and died between 1860 & 1870 Sarah was born Feb1833 and died after 1900 They were married 20FEB1853 Henderson Co, NC Both are buried at Folly Gap cemetery with Thomas' Parents John & Kizza The following children have been attributed to their household: Dorcas Galloway b ca 1854 Sarah Jane Galloway b 18AUG1855 d 19JUN1886 Transylvania Co Calvin L. Galloway b. 22APR1857 d. 27JAN1943 and buried at Cathey's Creek because It had been raining kind of like around here recently and the road to Folly Gap cemetery was impassable. Caroline Galloway b 1859 Mary M. Galloway b. 1860, married a RYKARD and was buried at Macedonia (unmarked) Julia Ann Galloway b ca 1864 Harvey Keith Galloway b. 08NOV1868 Trans Co, d. 15MAY1939 Easley, Pickens Co, SC (actually I have birth dates for Harvey ranging from 1866-1868 - I thought I had a long labor) Here come the problems: Why did Thomas wait until he was 33 years old to get married? Just seems a long time to wait in the days before pre-marital sex was openly practised. In 1880 Transylvania County Census Sarah is living with the three youngest children. Everyone in the household is listed as being born in NC, and their mother being born in NC. Sarah, Mary, & Julia all list their Father as being born in NC. Harvey's Father was born in SC. In 1900 Sarah reports only having THREE children, not the 7 listed in the household, and that all three children are still living. Based on this information it would appear that Sarah Jane, Harvey, and two other children in this household weren't their kids. So, where did they come from? Was this a second drop off from the alien spacecraft? For about 140 years we've been duped by a conspiracy to hide the truth. It's time to set the record straight. It can't be worse than some of the other stories I have heard. I'm thinking that the probate records for Thomas may be helpful. Any guess as to where/when he died? NC or SC? This family living on the state line really causes research problems. -- 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 ; )

Archibul Akins was a brother to Henrietta "Hannah" Aiken who married John C. Galloway. According to census records he was born in 1790. According to the 1880 Census Mortality Schedule (Pickens Co., SC) he died in January of 1880 of "old age". I have been told that he married first a Miss Young. She was the mother of his first 12 kids. She died abt. 1833. May be one of the unmarked graves near Archibul. Next wife was Martha Bice/Byers, the mother of his next 12 kids. Martha is buried at Rocky Bottom Baptist Church in Pickens Co., SC.

Linda, You have been busy, thank you so much for all of your hard work and for sharing it with us. I have a couple of questions, does any one know who Thomas Harrison Galloway (22 Dec 1815) and Wm. J. Galloway (1815) belong to? -- Sherry in Georgia osburn@bellsouth.net Genealogy - a search for the greatest treasures - our ancestors Sherry's Genealogy Home Page - Our Georgia Families: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/index.html Gilmer County, Georgia USGENWEBPage: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/gilmer.html Seminole County, Georgia USGENWEB Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/seminole.html Walker County, Georgia USGENWEB Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/walker.html Webster County, Georgia USGENWEB Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/webster.html

The sun finally came out so I'm done ahead of schedule. The cemetery is up, though I'm still indexing the names. Besides bunches of Galloways, there is a bonus patch of Aikens http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7150/cemetery/oldtoxup.html Lots Of John Colby's descendants, but they are making me wonder about their religion. Several graves mention how long the person was a memeber of The Baptist Church - This Includes Louis P Galloway. And for all of them, it wasn't their whole life, one only converted 4 years before he died. And some of them didn't convert when the nearby church was built in 1879. Considering john Colby at least ended up a Baptist Minister, What was their religion before??? One more mystery. One grave is Archibul Aiken. It mentions he had 24 children!!! But there is no date. Does anyone know when this fertile gent lived? and who were the 24 kids? And how is he connected with the Galloways?

Hello I am seeking information on the family of William J. Galloway and Catherine Oates they were married in Henry County, Alabama 16/Aug./1849. I would very much like to locate the children or grandchildren of thiscouple. If at all possible I would like to contact someof theirdescendents. Catherine was the daughter of Stephen Oates and Elizabeth Ann Shipp of North Carolina. After Stephen's death in 1835 she desposed of his estaste and moved to Henry County Alabama, where she purchased land outside of Roeville Alabama. If anyone in the group may know of a book on the familyI am talking about please let me know. After 1849 it seems that they possibly moved to another State. I have not found any information on thecensus concerning them. J. L. Bateman III Montgomery Alabama

I have been letting the lurkers lurk, but I'm dying of curiosity about the latest e-mail address to join our list. Is alaska.net really in Alaska? Are you from our Sunny South loving branch of the family? If so I guess this wins the furthest distant cousin award. And all you other lurkers - consider introducing yourselves and how you are connected. -- 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 ; )

Continuing to poke around Upper Toxaway Cemetery and I found the original markers for Thomas H & wife - they were moved to the end of the row just like there were another 2 graves there. Anyway, they are still quite legible and the original transcription was correct except for the minor issue of spelling out the abbreviation. Thos. H. Galloway Died Dec 18 1874 aged 59 yrs & 4 das I hope to have the whole cemetery posted March 8 In the meantime, there a bunches and bunches of graves that only have a fieldstone - and they pretty much look like they are primarily Galloway related. If anyone has any hints as to who, I would love to know. And where did Thomas H. & William J. build their massive two family house? I know it is nearby. Was it on the actual site of the new church, or closer to the older upper cemetery or what? Judy Ballard wrote: > I have the same dates as you. The dates are from the Transylvania Co. > Cemeteries.
