Like many another son of Erin, he looked over the ocean for greater freedom and a better home. In 1789, he took passage to America in the "Lazy Mary," and, landing at Baltimore, remained in Maryland till about the year 1797, when he migrated to what is now Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and settled upon the farm at present occupied by his daughters, Jane and Sarah. In the year 1805 he married Arabella Milligan, of Belfast, Ireland. Five children were given them, and three were called back to Him who doeth all things well. The oldest, James, was born January 22, 1806, and died September, 1843; Elizabeth, Novemeber 28, 1807, and died on October 20, 1864; and John, June 3, 1811, departed this life October 27, 1861; while Jane, born November 13, 1809, and Sarah, on May 3, 1813, are still residents of the old homestead. A score of years passed happily ere the family circle was broken by the wife and mother's death, which occurred July 31, 1820. Politically, Mr. Gallagher affiliated with the Democratic party, and in religion held to the old Covenanter faith, his wife being a member of the United Presbyterian Church. Regarded as to his intercourse and dealing with men, Mr. Gallagher was upright, honest, intelligent, and worthy. He was fond of his family, and they of him. Respected in life, his death on February 12, 1832, was an occasion of the deepest regret. Mother, amiable and charitable, and father, kind and faithful, reared their children in the paths of truth and honor, and now sleep in peace in the "Old Settlers' Grave-yard," where a monument of enduring marble marks the revered spot which holds their dust. --part0_915919300_boundary--
