| Death* | 24 October 1849 | Franklin, Venango County, Pennsylvania, United States |
| Pension* | 29 April 1872 | Venango County, Pennsylvania, United States, The following is from a letter sent on behalf of Sarah Parcel Galbraith to try to prove her marriage to Robert so that she might receive a pension of $8.00 a month for Robert's service in the War of 1812. State of Pennsylvania County of Venango On this 29th day of April A.D. 1872, personally appeared before me Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions within and for the County and State aforsaid Rowletter Power Esq. a Justice of the Peace within and for the County of Venango and State of Pennsylvania who being duly sworn according to law doth depose and say as follows: I am aged seventy four years, and am a resident of Franklin, in Venango County, Pennsylvania. I was born in Indiana Township in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. I was intimately acquainted with Robert Galbrath whose widow I understand is now an applicant for Pension. My acquaintance with said Robert Galbreath dated from boyhood and prior to the war of 1812. The said Robert Galbreath being at that time a resident of Plum Township in Allegheny County Pennsylvania about one mile distant from where I then resided. And where the said Robert Galbreath had a blacksmith shop with his father Samuel Galbreath. I remember distincly of the time of his leaving for the army at the time of the war of 1812, and of his return from the army after the termination of the war - when he worked at his old business of blacksmithing. I was not present at the marriage of the said Robert Galbreath to Miss Sarah Parcel his present widow. I was acquainted with "her people" or family, and know that as far back as 1814 (Eighteen hundred and fourteen) the said Robert Galbreath and Sarah his present widow were living together as man and wife - in lawful wedlock, and never heard their marriage disputed or questioned. I moved to Franklin, Venango County Pennsylvania in 1831, in 1837 or about six years thereafter the said Robert Galbreath and Sarah his wife moved to Franklin - Venango Co Pennsylvania, and that at said time they were still living together as man and wife and continued together as man and wife up to time of his death in 1849. I have no interest direct or indirect in the claim of the said Sarah Galbreath for pension. I have seen her frequently since his death and have never heard of her remarriage since date of death of her husband the said Robert Galbreath. And have no hesitancy in attesting to her being the widow of the said Robert Galbreath and of my knowledge of their cohabitation as man and wife as aforestated from the year 1814. My Post Office Address is Franklin Venango County Pennsylvania. Rowletter Power J.P. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 29th day of April A.D. 1872 and I hereby certify that the affiant is well known to me as a credible and respectable person, and to be one of our oldest and most respected citizens. And that the contents of the foregoing affidavit were carefully read to him before swearing, including the words "in" and "township" erased. And that I have no interest direct or indirect in the prosecution of the claim. E. G. Crawford Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions Venango Co. Pa. On the 1840 US Census for Franklin, Venango, PA Rowletter Power lives only about three houses down from Robert and Sarah Galbraith. Benjamin Alexander who signed another of the papers sent by Sarah to get her pension lives next door to Sarah and Robert on the same 1840 Census. A notice found in the Pittsburgh Mercury, Nov. 25, 1813 - Samuel Galbraith, a blacksmith, who lives at the forks of the road about five miles from this place, on the road to Greensburg - His son Robert Galbraith, a blacksmith, deserted from Ft. Fayette - was 21 years old, born in Cumberland Co. |

Robert Galbreath Esq.
(say 1730 - )
| Last Edited | Apr 26, 2004 |
| Land* | Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States, with wife, Mary | |
| Name Variation | Galbraith Esq. | |
| Birth* | say 1730 | |
| Residence | 1765 | Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States, It appears that brothers James and Robert moved from Philadelphia to Straban Township. In the land deed of 30 Oct 1765, it states "Robert of Philadelphia"..., Principal=James Galbreath |
| Occupation* | 22 October 1765 | York County, Pennsylvania, United States, admitted to practice as an attorney |
| Land* | 30 October 1765 | Straban Township, York County, Pennsylvania, United States, The deed states: "...I, John Galbreath of Straban Towhship...for the sum of 105 pounds paid by Robert Galbraith of Philadelphia...tract of land situated in Straban township...known by the name of Livingstons Path and also by land of Samuel Hays and John Anderson to the Great Road leading to York and thence along the said Road to Rock Creek to land of Margaret Patterson containing...150 acres...which said tract of land purchased by John Galbreath from Michael Lynch by investment of writing having date the 11th day of March 1754..." This is on the current day Route 30, just east of current Gettysburg., Principal=John Galbreath |
| Occupation | 1765 | Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, United States, was accepted as attorney in this county as well as York. |
| Residence* | 1767 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, listed as single and living with family of attorney (later Judge) James Biddle in Philadelphia. |
| Occupation | 1771 | Bedford, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, United States, sworn in as attorney for the new county of Bedford, just formed from Cumberland. He also bought a town lot in Bedford. |
| Note* | 1772 | Straban Township, Pennsylvania, United States, 1/3 of 2/3's of his father's estate, also served as executor. |
| (Witness) Will | 27 May 1772 | Straban Township, Pennsylvania, United States, James' will leaves household goods, etc. to an unnamed wife, and children Isabella (10 shillings in 1 yr.), Robert (executor), William, James (the sons received 2/3), Jane (1/3) and Nancy (1/3 (sic) and a two year delay). It is thought that this is the James, that John of York (died Oct. 1769) mentions in his will as "friend". According to the author of the sited Red Tower article, friend referred to relative or kinsman, usually a first cousin rather than brother, but the author thinks James may have been John's nephew. (The author believes James had a brother, John, but that he lived in Philadelphia, and that he had a brother, Robert who lived in Straban Township)., Principal=James Galbreath |
| Marriage* | 16 August 1773 | Pennsylvania, United States, Principal=Mary Brannon |
| Occupation | 1777 | Pennsylvania, United States, as Judge of the courts of Cumberland, York, and Bedford Counties under orders of the Supreme Executive council of Pennsylvania |
| Military* | circa 1779 | "Able men 18-53 had to serve in the Militia during the Revolution and neighbors were formed into Classes, which had to periodically provide a man from their ranks for active duty. Robert paid a member 26 pounds to serve, who later refused and they appeared in court. Also during the War, Robert of Straban signed a petition in 1779 from the fourth Class of the fourth Battalion that objected to the unfairness of the draft call and he signed it as Robert Galbreath, private, attorn." Thus, it is almost conclusive he was also the Robert appointed attorney in York in 1765. From the Rough Docket Record - "No. 17 The State of Pennsylva. v Conrad Hoke. Debt £26: which sum Robert Galbraith tendered to Conrad Hoke, in the Presence of Moses Lockart and James McCracken, (on the 10th day of October last past). which Sum the said Conrad refused to receive, two thirds, whereof is therefore become forfeited to the States, and is delivered into the hands of Jno. Hay Esqr. Treasurer, and one third whereof remains in the hands of the said Robert Galbraith Agreeable to the Acts of Genl. Assembly this 14th Nov. 1780". |
| Court Rec.* | 1779 | Straban Township, Pennsylvania, United States, as "private" in several cases |
| Political | 19 October 1780 | Pennsylvania, United States, Robert Galbreath, Esquire, was elected Representative to the General Assembly |
| Tax List* | between 1777 and 1783 | Straban Township, Pennsylvania, United States, Robert is absent from the tax roles from 1765 until 1777; it appears that this is because he was busy in other counties during this time span. Bill Gilbreath has found an undated tax record in Straban Twp. for Robert showing 360 pound in land value but no other value i (improvements and a total tax of £2.12.6. Two unique notations are written in : "atty" and "Doub", evidently meaning attorney and double tax. Robert evidently had to pay a double tax, possibly because of arreas and was valued at £2 to the acre. In 1778 he paid a regular tax of 3 pounds, and is also charged 6 pounds for the Continental War Tax, but avoided the State Tax that many others paid. In 1779, Robert has 230 acres and 3 horses. In 1783, listed as "Esquire" and obviously back in full residence with 220 acres, 1 house, 2 outbuildings, 1 barn, 8 inhabitants, 1 negro, 3 horned cattle, 6 horses, 1 negro 12 years old, 1 cream jug, 1 tea tong, 6 teaspoons. The latter items were evidently sterling silver and thus taxed. |
| Land | 21 April 1788 | Straban Township, Pennsylvania, United States, The report of this road docket establishes that a road will be built from Henry Vandikes smithshop on McIlvains mill Road to McDobbins Meeting house near Rock Creek running through Mount Pleasant, Straban, and Hamiltonban townships. I believe the land of Robert Galbreath that is referred to is the land bought by him in 1765 from John Galbreath. It states that the land is beside Hays mill and in 1765 the deed stated that the land ran beside that of Samuel Hays. It also establishes that Robert Galbreath Esq. "moved" from the area (land late of Robert...) before 1788 "So the Worshipfull the Justices of the Court of quarter sessions of the peace of in and for the County of York April term 1788. Whereas by an order of your worships at October term Last past and Continues at January term Last as Indorsed thereon Your worshipfull Court was pleased to appoint us Samuel Ewing, Peter Wolford, John McIlvain, George Shakley, Ninian Chamberlain and John Heagy to view and Lay out a private road from the smith shop of Henry Vandikes on the mill road Leading from McIlvains mill to the two Taverns and to lead to the House of public worship belonging to the Reverend McDobbins Congregation at Rock Creek provided we or any four of us shall be satisfyed that there is necessity for a road in thy settlement aforesaid - as by the order aforesaid and Records of the Courts may appear and whereas we the aforesaid Samuel Ewing, Peter Wolford, John McIlvain, George Shackley, Ninian Chamberlain, and John Heagey being all met and having viewed the Ground and places aforesaid are fully satisfyed that there is occasion for a private road between the places aforesaid and beg Leave to return the same by the following courses and Distance Beginning on McIlvains Mill Road aforesaid and near Vandikes smith shop and running from thence north eighty one degrees west five hundred ane eight perches to a post on the line between William Degroff and Henry Buchananas Land north fifty Degrees west one hundred and fifty six perches to a post and south eighty one degrees west sixty five perches to a spanish oak thence south sixty three degrees west twenty seven perches and five tenths to a post north seventy eight and a half degrees west two hundred and fifteen perches to a Red Oak in the land of Major Vanarsdall and north forty six degrees and a half west Eighty three perches to a stone at Tawneys house thence north fifty six degrees and a half west seventy perches and five tenths to a post white oak and north fifty eight degrees west one hundred and fourteen perches to a post near Hays mill dam thence north forty five degrees west two hundred and Eighty perches to a maple pole at Little Run on Land Late of Robert Galbreath Esquire and north forty two degrees west two Hundred and twenty eight perches to a small Black Oak at the old Road and from thence north sixty seven degrees west Eighty two perches to the Meeting house belonging to the Reverend McDobbins Congregation near Rock Creek in all five miles and one half and sixty nine perches.
