Current map shows a Gala in the northwest section of Botetourt Co. -- where Mill Creek and Sinking Creek cross highway 220 and the James River. An 1880s map calls it Gala Waters. That's the closest thing I can see to your Galli. You might check the geography place finders on the internet -- they often give the old name for a current place.
