Are there any Bosque/McLennan County researchers out there that know anything about a killing that took place on or about the 8th of May, 1875 in the Bosqueville/Valley Mills/McGregor area of Bosque Co/McLennan Co? Family legend has it that William H. Gallaway (a veteran of the Civil War) was murdered by a neighbor when he went to retrieve a plow he had loaned the neighbor. The copy of the family story I have says that "Billy" was well respected and much loved in the neighborhood and his neighbors were so much alarmed at his murder that they formed a posse and chased down the murderer 'like a mad dog' and 'killed him like a rattlesnake'. Texas talk sure is colorful ain't it? An oldtimer in Waco in the 1940's told a family member (Mary Selman Gallaway Dodson) that he had ridden in the posse that made sure justice was done for Billy many long years before. Billy is buried in Rock Church Cemetery next to an infant son. Billy married Sally Barnett about 1869 or 1870 (conflicting sources) and had a son and two daughters before his untimely death. One daughter Laurie lived out her life in Waco and had two sons and daughter Annie Laurie who also lived in Waco in the late 1950's. I do not yet know Laurie's married name nor her sons' names. Billy was an older brother of Rev. Robert V. Gallaway, ME Church South, whose descendants to this day populate Waco and other Texas towns. R.V. died at home in Aquilla in 1911 and was buried in Walnut Springs. I'd like to correspond with anyone related to these Gallaway men or anyone doing research on Texas Frontier Justice. Can anyone supply driving instructions to the Rock Church Cemetery? Thanks and much obliged. Dave Johnston Self-appointed Family Historian/Genealogist
