Yes, I have some connection to Gallagher. I am really researching the Updegraph line. A daughter Elizabeth (Betsy) b.a. 1788 married a Thomas Alexander and they lived in the Muddy Creek/Worth Township area of Butler County, PA. Elizabeth's brother's (Abraham) daughter or granddaughter married a Gallagher. He served in the Civil War, came home ill, and I believe died not long after. I would need to pull my records to be sure of that. I took a neighbor, in his late 70s, for a ride and he showed me the site of the Alexander homestead he knew from the earlier 1900s, which fit with the early 1800s information I had. He was raised nearby. I know there was a Stewart in early 1800s Portersville. Does any of this fit with your branch?
