William and Sarah are possibly the William Galloway & Sarah Essary Galloway. I'm still waiting for a response from Bill Galloway about when and why they separated. Or it could very well be their son William (b. 1805) and his wife Sarah Morgan (b. abt 1806). I have been told that Sarah was the dtr of Squire & Sarah Morgan who were members of Cathey's Creek Church, though they didn't seem to have made it onto our list and The Morgan Family Scrapbook has Squire & Sarah moving into Cherryfield about 1830, after the list. Of course The Morgan Family Scrapbook also doesn't list a Sarah among their children. John A. Jr. could be anyone. There is a slight possibility it could be Kizza's husband, but there were I think about half a dozen households in early 1800's under the name John. I did find somewhere a listing in a census where one John Galloway was specifically listed as John Jr. and it was the one listed by William Galloway. Funny, none of the John's were listed as Sr. This John Jr.'s family matches with John Colby Galloway, William's Son. Since John became a preacher, it would make sense for him to be on the Church roles. The only problem is that the initial doesn't match, not that multiple initials are unique. Betsy Galloway could possibly be the dtr of William Galloway & Sarah Essary Galloway. I have a Sally Elizabeth (b abt 1801) as marrying Chirstopher Whitmire in 1819 but Christopher is not listed as a member. If this is an 1822 list, it may be she kept her maiden name as some women did. It could be simply that she joined the church before she got married and this is what landed in the records since record keeping those days was iffy at best. Or it could very well be the wife of John A. Jr who is a different John than the John I thought he might be. In summary, these four Galloways MAY represent 3 of the 5 documented children of William galloway & Sarah Essary Galloway. Their first son, James who married Sally Parker, would likely have been attending New Prospect Church up in Gloucester if anywhere since he moved up into that area and the church was located at the Brown/Parker Cemetery, or so I have heard with a sprinkling of documents to support it. The fifth child, George Washington Galloway was born in 1808 and would have been only about 14 years old and perhaps had not received his baptism at that time. However, George's son, John Flemming Galloway, has a Bible which shows John Flemming as joining the church in 1861, long after his birth in 1830. It is possible that George Washington, and perhaps Granddaddy William lived their lives as happy heatherns. Kizzie Galloway would probably be the wife of John Galloway, the couple buried up at Folly Gap. Not sure why John isn't listed. I have him as being around until 1864. That should make everything about clear as mud for you.
