These Galbraiths are as follows: Hannah b. abt. 1765 m. possibly Allen WOODS; Robert b. abt. 1767 m. ?; James b. ? m. ?; John b. abt. 1780 m. Sarah WILLIAMS; Margaret b. 1780-1790 m. Joseph? SPICER; Samuel S. b. 1784 m. Mary WILLIAMS; Joseph b. 1786 m. Elizabeth VANHORN Joseph Galbraith b. 1786 was said to be a graduate of Cannonsburg College in Washington, PA, which is near Pittsburgh. In the 1800 census, I find a Margaret Galbraith, with older children, living in Cross Creek Twp., Washington County, PA. The will of Robert, made in 1854 (he died in 1860), lists sisters Hannah Woods, Margaret Spicer, and the heirs of James, John, and Samuel Galbraith. He does not mention the heirs of Joseph Galbraith, although Joseph's family is living nearby; in fact, in 1850, Robert is living with one of Joseph's sons. When he died, he was living with one of Samuel's sons. The will of Samuel S. Galbraith, who died in 1847, lists sons Charles, Samuel, Thomas, Henry, Joseph, John, and Johnston and daughters Sarah LEEPER (wife of George Bell Leeper), Mary MALLARNEE, and Rebecca OLEPHANT. I am aware that the LEEPER name is connected in other lines with Galbraiths, as is the BELL name. I also have a surname HAYS (including a Dorcas Hays) connected to this family, as well as a WILSON . All of these surnames occur in the area of Cumberland County, PA, where many Galbraiths were. For this reason, and because of the given names of these Ohio Galbraiths, I believe they are likely connected to the Cumberland County, PA Galbraiths. I have also found a 1765 marriage record in Cumberland County for a Samuel Galbraith and a Margaret Miloy. I have not found this couple on any other records, but I am wondering if the Margaret in Washington County could possibly be his widow and the mother of this brood. I would sincerely appreciate any insight anyone might have into this family. Susan
