The headstone for Jimmie & Sallie says they were born 1790 & 1795 respectively. BUT... 1850&1870 census reports Jimmie was born about 1787 1850 census has Sarah born 1790 1870 census has her born 1784 (talk about pre-mature aging) and lists her as Elizabeth. Also - just wondering. Has anyone actually documented that Sarah Harriett Ussery was old William's first wife and the mother of Jimmie? We do have documented that there was ah, er, a fruitful relationship between William Galloway & Hannah Powell prior to the 1842 court case regarding the paterenity of the, um, result of the relationship when William was about 79 years old! But do we know for sure that his first wife was Sarah? Just checking and re-checking everything. Can't take anything for granted with these folks - including matrimony (In case you are wondering - the courts did finally seem to conclude Wm & Hannah were married - at least she ended up with the widow's pension after William's death). Still thinking about the rest of the William Galloway stuff. -- Linda Hoxit Raxter lraxter@citcom.net http://www.geocities.com/~alextreehouse related to at least half the county at least once ; )
