Surnames: Deal, Gallion Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5UB.2ACI/385.873.2 Message Board Post: There were several names mentioned in your 1999 query that seemed quite coincidental to my search for parents and siblings of my Alvira (Alvirah) DEAL b. 1792 in Burke County, NC. Alvira married Thomas Gallion (Galyon) Jr. about 1808/1810 in Burke County, NC and the couple lived in NC for awhile before moving to the area east of Knoxville, TN known as Strawberry Plains. One son was named Thomas Young Gallion and one daughter was named Neomi. These two names of children make me beieve that my Alvira may fit into your family somehow. All children of Alvira DEAL and Thomas Gallion Jr. are: Mary Alvirah b. Jan 1812 in SC Sarah (or Hannah) b. abt 1813 Altha Jane (or Jane Altha) b. about 1820 Cynthia or Synthia b. about 1822 William b. 1821 Thomas Young b. 1825 Buncombe County, NC Elizabeth b. 1826 Neomi b. 1828 Margaret Ann b. about 1831 Joseph b. Mar 1833 Rebecca (Betsy) b. 1835 Son #4 Name Unknown Do these names fit into your Young family? Any info on Alvira's siblings and parents welcome.
