| (Witness) Legal | 17 July 1867 | James Eleazor Galloway, James Daniel Murphy; Abbeville, Henry County, Alabama, USA; Supreme Court of Alabama and Probate Court of Henry County: Eleazer Galloway's grandson James Eleazer Galloway, son of William E. Galloway, deceased, petitioned the Henry County Probate Court in January 1865 to set aside the November 1864 sale of Eleazer's land to Elizabeth Driggers and Rosier Brannon, citing several particulars having to do with insufficient notification to heirs of intended sale. James Eleazer was in the Army at the time of the sale, and several grandchildren lived out of state. Petitions alleged that none of the out of state heirs (all grandchildren) were notified of the sale, and that there was no official notification to Rosier Brannon yet he was a winning bidder. James Eleazer Galloway was a minor still, and enlisted his "next friend" James D. Murphy to represent him in the case. James D. Murphy, son of Daniel and Elizabeth Murphy, lived adjacent to Eleazer and Leaty Galloway in 1860. James Murphy submitted all the petitions to the court on behalf of James Eleazer Galloway. It's not clear whether James Murphy had legal training (he identified himself as a hatter in the 1860 census) or whether they hired an attorney, but their petitions were well written. The Henry County Probate Court in a special term November 3, 1866, refused to set aside the original sale. James Eleazer appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court. On 17 July, 1867, the court affirmed the ruling of the Henry County Probate Court, and awarded fees of $200. to Edward J. Galloway, administrator of the estate, to be paid by James D. Murphy. Rozier died February 9, 1867, before this case was concluded.19 |

Benjamin Galloway1
#2049, b. before 1750
| Last Edited | 31 Dec 2015 |
| Birth* | before 1750 | date guessed based on receiving land grant in 1770.1 |
| Land Grant* | 24 August 1770 | 150 acres bounding southward on Lynches Creek, Craven County, South Carolina, USA; An indenture of sale of land in 1771 refers to "a plantation or tract of land containing 150 acres situate in Craven County granted by his Majesty to the above named Benjamin Galloway as appears in the original grant thereof bearing date the 24th day of August 1770"; A second reference (Memorials ...) registers a land title, apparently this same land, on 14 October 1771, describing it further "..containing 150 acres bounding southward on Lynches Creek on all other sides on vacant land originally granted the 24th day of Aug 1770 unto Benjamin Galloway at 2t Nt of 3/St for 4/pro money ..." It may be that Benjamin may have registered the land in order to sell it, but I don't have the full transcript from the first source. I do have the entire transcript from the second source.1,2 |
| Marriage* | before 1771 | Sarah (?); Sarah was named as Benjamin's wife in a land deed1 |
| Occupation* | 1771 | Craven County, South Carolina, USA; a planter1 |
| Land* | 14 October 1771 | Sarah (?); 150 acres, near Lynches Creek, Craven County, South Carolina, USA; to John Piggott for Ten Shillings|| The transaction was made by two documents - one for the land sale and the second for wife Sarah to release any claim to the land as her dower. Witnesses were Nathaniel Piggott, Thomas Welch, and Charles Campbell. Transcriptions of these documents are attached. Land location is stated only generally, but it appears from the language that it abuts land of John Piggott. The documents name Benjamin Galloway's occupation as planter, his wife's name as Sarah, and describe the land as granted to him in 1770. There is no explanation for the extremely low selling price. Is it possible that this was a transfer within the family, say as if John Piggott were Sarah's father or brother?1 |
| My ResearchNote* | Eleazer Galloway; South Carolina, USA; Benjamin Galloway has been a candidate for father of Eleazer Galloway because he owned land in the Lynches Creek area based on a land sale in 1771. He does not appear in the 1790 or later censuses. |

"After South Carolina was purchased from the Lords Proprietors and became a royal colony in 1729, the crown had legislation enacted to help facilitate the collection of quitrents. The Quitrent Act of 1731 required the registration of land grants issued during the proprietary period so as to validate the grants and establish an effective system to collect the rent (quitrents) due on the land. Later legislation provided for the registration of royal grants. The landholder was to present to the Auditor General or his Deputy documented evidence of the land title, including the amount of quitrent, but because not all grants were registered and the crown never established a successful mechanism to enforce the law, the payment of quitrents basically remained voluntary.
The system of quitrents and the Auditor General's records end in the mid-1770s with the impending collapse of the royal government.
This series consists of the registrations of land titles which were authorized by the Quitrent Act of 1731 to serve a dual purpose: 1) validating land grants made by the Lords Proprietors, and 2) establishing a more efficient system of collecting quitrents. The documentation provided by the landowner to the Auditor General's office could be either recorded in full or in an abstract, called a "memorial." The full recordings are contained in volumes 1, 2, and 3 of the original series and volumes 1, the first 251 pages of volume 2, and volume 4 of the copy series. Eventually both forms became known as memorials.
Most of the documents are exact copies or abstracts of grants, but also included are plats and certificates of survey, deeds of gift, leases and releases, renunciations of dower, and wills. The copies of plats from the proprietary period are particularly valuable because few other plats from that period survive. Information contained in the original volumes and a copy set of the volumes completed in 1821 includes names of the memorialist, persons associated with the title, surrounding landowners, and surveyors; descriptions of the property; and dates of recording. The last portion of volume 14 of the copy series also includes certificates for town lots in Beaufort registered by the Surveyor General between 1743 and 1774 for the purpose of enforcing an act of 1740 that required the collection of fines on unimproved lots in Beaufort.", South Carolina Department of Archives and History, 8301 Parklane Road, Columbia, South Carolina, USA.

| (Witness) Legal | 17 July 1867 | James Eleazor Galloway, James Daniel Murphy; Abbeville, Henry County, Alabama, USA; Supreme Court of Alabama and Probate Court of Henry County: Eleazer Galloway's grandson James Eleazer Galloway, son of William E. Galloway, deceased, petitioned the Henry County Probate Court in January 1865 to set aside the November 1864 sale of Eleazer's land to Elizabeth Driggers and Rosier Brannon, citing several particulars having to do with insufficient notification to heirs of intended sale. James Eleazer was in the Army at the time of the sale, and several grandchildren lived out of state. Petitions alleged that none of the out of state heirs (all grandchildren) were notified of the sale, and that there was no official notification to Rosier Brannon yet he was a winning bidder. James Eleazer Galloway was a minor still, and enlisted his "next friend" James D. Murphy to represent him in the case. James D. Murphy, son of Daniel and Elizabeth Murphy, lived adjacent to Eleazer and Leaty Galloway in 1860. James Murphy submitted all the petitions to the court on behalf of James Eleazer Galloway. It's not clear whether James Murphy had legal training (he identified himself as a hatter in the 1860 census) or whether they hired an attorney, but their petitions were well written. The Henry County Probate Court in a special term November 3, 1866, refused to set aside the original sale. James Eleazer appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court. On 17 July, 1867, the court affirmed the ruling of the Henry County Probate Court, and awarded fees of $200. to Edward J. Galloway, administrator of the estate, to be paid by James D. Murphy. Rozier died February 9, 1867, before this case was concluded.10 |

| Journal* | Leaty Parrish; Eleazer Galloway of the Darlington County region of South Carolina is the earliest known Galloway ancestor for the Balkcom line of western Oklahoma and southeast Alabama. Eleazer and his wife Leaty Parrish were early settlers in Henry County, Alabama and came to own substantial land there. Their link to the Balkcom line is through their daughter Anzilla Galloway who married Rosier Brannon of Henry County, formerly of Duplin County, North Carolina, in 1826. Rose Ann Brannon, a daughter of Rosier and Anzilla, had a son John Ira Balkcom who with his young family moved from Alabama to Texas in around 1901. After only a few years in Van Zandt County, Texas, they moved to Hollis in western Oklahoma. | |
| Comment | Eleazer shows up infrequently as a given name and may provide clues about ancestors. Eleazer was an occasional surname in the Lexington District of SC in the early 1800s. Biblically, "The chief leader of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest. He was appointed over those who were responsible for the care of the sanctuary."5 | |
| My ResearchNote* | My searches of genealogical records has not led to identification of the parents of Eleazer Galloway. I have thought that Abraham Galloway is most likely his father and that is now supported by a dna match that our family has with a descendant of Abraham Galloway Jr. The following notes summarize some of the candidates who I have identified though records research and why Abraham, even before the dna match, has seemed the most likely parent. | |
| My ResearchNote* | Absalom Galloway; South Carolina, USA; Absalom Galloway is unlikely as a candidate for Eleazer Galloway's father. Absalom's will names his current wife, refers to earlier marriage and children of the marriage, names children, but does not name Eleazer. Absalom died between 1793 (date of his will) and probably 1800. Eleazer was born c1787 so as a minor in 1793 should have been named in the will. | |
| My ResearchNote* | Richard Galloway; South Carolina, USA; Richard Galloway has been a candidate for father of Eleazer Galloway, based solely on his appearing in the 1790 census as an adult male with a male u16 in household, when Eleazer would have been under age 10. There were 5 females in the household. I have not found records for Richard Galloway after1790. | |
| My ResearchNote* | Abraham Galloway; South Carolina, USA; Abraham Galloway #1821 has, based on paper records, seemed the best candidate for father of Eleazer Galloway because he is shown to have been in Camden and Cheraws Districts before 1790 and he is of the the Galloway family that had substantial land around Lynches Creek. One source alleges that Eleazer was from the Lynches Creek area. In the 1800 census Abraham had a male age 16-25 in the household, in the range for Eleazer although Eleazer's birth date is uncertain. | |
| My ResearchNote* | Benjamin Galloway; South Carolina, USA; Benjamin Galloway has been a candidate for father of Eleazer Galloway because he owned land in the Lynches Creek area based on a land sale in 1771. He does not appear in the 1790 or later censuses. | |
| (Witness) Note | Abraham Galloway; Probable children of Abraham Galloway #1821 are Abraham Galloway #1912 on this site, Eleazer Galloway #1312, and William Galloway #1442. I have not found the paper records to confirm this family and have not found confirmation by other researchers. However, dna tests match my family (descendants of Eleazer Galloway) with a descendant of Abraham Galloway #1912, called Abraham Galloway Jr. in most public trees. If this Abraham is the son of Abraham #1821 then the strong implication is that Eleazer and Abraham Jr. are brothers and that Abraham #1821 is their father, mother unknown. | |
| Birth* | circa 1787 | Cheraws District, South Carolina, USA; South Carolina birth confirmed by 1850 census. Birth in Darlington District asserted in referenced book by Mrs Scott. Hoyt Warren's book is more specific that Eleazer was from the Lynches Creek area, near where Lynches Creek and Little Lynches Creek merge. Birthdate uncertain, 1880 per 1850 census, 1887 per 1860, and 1890-1899 per 1830 census.6,7,8 |
| Birth | between 1790 and 1800 | the 1830 census has "Eli" born in this date range but Eleazer married in 1807 (approximate date based on birth of oldest child) so his birth would likely not have been past the very early part of this range.3 |
| Marriage* | say 1807 | Leaty Parrish; Leaty Parrish is identified as wife of Eleazer Galloway in Henry County Court papers (see later entries). The estimated date is from the cited researchers, and from age of the oldest known child of Eleazer and Leaty.9,10 |
| Cen-Head | 1810 | SC Kershaw Co Census 1810; Kershaw County, South Carolina, USA; "Elijah Galliway" male age 16-25, female 16-25, 1 male and 1 female under 10. Household makeup is consistent with this person actually being Eleazer Galloway. A neighbor comparison between 1820 and 1810 cannot be done since the 1820 census taker put the names in alphabetical order. Elijah's immediate neighbors were Edward Parrish Jr. and William Parrish, a son of Edward's. Nearby were Jeremiah Parrish Sr. and Jeremiah Parrish Jr. and families.11 |
| Military* | 14 September 1813 | Georgia Militia, War of 1812, Twiggs County, Georgia, USA; from the "Payroll of the 1st detachment of militia ordered out on the frontier of Twiggs County in pursuance of orders from Brig General David Blackshear dated 7 August 1813 for the protection of the inhabitants residing on the Ocmulghee, and to build Fort Jackson." Private "Eleazer Galloway" appeared on a roster in Lieutenant Lovett B. Smith's Company, apparently as a "defaulter", no pay was listed. He doesn't appear in service records at the National Archives for volunteers who served in this war. Several South Carolina Galloways served in South Carolina and Georgia regiments for short periods of time. This particular detachment seems to have been drafted into service.12 |
| Tax List* | 1818 | Twiggs County, Georgia, USA; appeared on the tax list as "Eleazar Galloway"13 |
| (Head of Household) Census | 1820 | Kershaw County, South Carolina, USA; "Eleaze Galloway", male age 26-44, female 16-25 (Leaty), males 1 under 10 (Melvin), 1 10-16 (Edward James), females 3 under 10 (Lutitia, Elizabeth, unknown), 1 10-15 (Anzilla)14 Resident: Leaty Parrish |

Adjacent to household of William Galloway; 110011 2110115 Resident: Leaty Parrish Neighbor: William Galloway |
| Migration* | circa 1832 | Leaty Parrish; Henry County, Alabama, USA; Citation states that Eleazer came to Henry Co in 1832 from NE South Carolina where the Little Lynches Creek and Lynches Creek merge. This date is wrong by at least two years since the 1830 census shows Eleazer and family already in Henry County. |
| Land* | 9 January 1837 | Section 26, Township 12N, Range 22E, Bullock County, Alabama, USA; "Eleazar", 79.75 acres, SESE, NWSE, purchased the Land Patent at the Cahaba Land Office for $1.25 an acre, total $99.69. The land was adjacent to that of Rosier Brannan. Eleazer was listed as from Pike County, Alabama.16,17 |

Henderson - children of Lutilia) and (Larrah Brannon - possible daughter of Anzilla). The adjacent household is Anna Parrish (70 SC), Leaty's sister, with several Galloways in that household. Complete household: "Eleazeir Galaway", male age 70, farmer, born in SC; "Leaty Galaway", female age 60, born in SC; "Elizabeth Henderson", age 15, born in Alabama, listed probably erroneously as married within the year, not reading or writing; "Jas.

| (Witness) Estate | 15 February 1854 | Edward Parrish; Henry County, Alabama, USA; Roger Parrish applied to the Henry County Probate Court for letters of administration on the estate of his father Edward Parrish, stating that Edward's will bequeathed certain property to his daughter Arny Parrish for her lifetime, then the property to be equally divided between the heirs of Edward Parrish. With Arny having died, and the original administrator of Edward's estate no longer living, the court appointed Roger as administrator. [Note: The courts' interpretation of the will ultimately differed from Roger's assertions in his application.]23 |
| (Witness) Estate | 27 February 1854 | Edward Parrish; Henry County, Alabama, USA; Edward Parrish's daughter Anna having died [she the sole beneficiary of his assets on his death in 1822], the Henry County Probate Court appointed John A. Wood, Rozier Brannon, and Adam Huggins as appraisers of the property belong to the estate of Edward Parrish.23 |

| (Witness) Estate | 16 April 1856 | Edward Parrish; Henry County, Alabama, USA; William Parrish petitioned the Henry County Probate Court: " ... that he is an heir of Edward Parrish, deceased, and that Roger Parrish sometime in the year 1854 took out letters of administration on the estate of Edward Parrish ... and that as administrator Roger Parrish has taken possession of the property of said estate and as your petitioner is informed and believes is applying said property to his own use..." William's petition asks the court to " ... require Roger Parish to show cause why he should not make final settlement ..." On 22 April, the court ordered Roger Parrish to appear before the court to show cause why he does not make final settlement.23 |
| (Witness) Estate | 20 July 1857 | Edward Parrish; Henry County, Alabama, USA; the Henry County Probate Court ordered Roger Parrish to appear before the court to show cause why his letters of administration for the estate of Edward Parrish should not be revoked, noting that Roger has treated the court's prior orders "with silent contempt" and that he has as yet made no final settlement of the estate after three years.23 |
| Legal* | January 1859 | Roger Parrish; Alabama Supreme Court, Montgomery, Montgomery, Alabama, USA; Roger Parrish vs. Eleazer Galloway: In a case before the Alabama Supreme Court, January Term 1859, Roger Parrish, identified as brother of Anna Parrish and administrator of her estate, filed an appeal from the Chancery Court of Henry County. The appeal dealt with whether Anna, who had inherited slaves on her father Edward's death, owned the slaves outright and whether she had authority to do so when she later deeded the slaves to Eleazer Galloway. Eleazer then released his interest in the slaves to William Parrish. The Henry County Chancery Court ruled that Anna did own the slaves outright. Roger Parrish contested this ruling to the Supreme Court. The summary of this case identifies relationships between the parties: "Eleazar Galloway" was identified as the original complainant in Henry County court; "William Parish and Roger Parish, ... were the brothers of the complainant's wife"; "Anna Parish, deceased, who was a sister of the complainant's wife"; "The defendant Roger Parish ... administrator of Edward Parish, deceased, who was the father of said Anna, William, and himself ..." See the exhibits for actual text of the case summary.25 Witness: William Parrish |

| (Witness) Legal | 17 July 1867 | James Eleazor Galloway, James Daniel Murphy; Abbeville, Henry County, Alabama, USA; Supreme Court of Alabama and Probate Court of Henry County: Eleazer Galloway's grandson James Eleazer Galloway, son of William E. Galloway, deceased, petitioned the Henry County Probate Court in January 1865 to set aside the November 1864 sale of Eleazer's land to Elizabeth Driggers and Rosier Brannon, citing several particulars having to do with insufficient notification to heirs of intended sale. James Eleazer was in the Army at the time of the sale, and several grandchildren lived out of state. Petitions alleged that none of the out of state heirs (all grandchildren) were notified of the sale, and that there was no official notification to Rosier Brannon yet he was a winning bidder. James Eleazer Galloway was a minor still, and enlisted his "next friend" James D. Murphy to represent him in the case. James D. Murphy, son of Daniel and Elizabeth Murphy, lived adjacent to Eleazer and Leaty Galloway in 1860. James Murphy submitted all the petitions to the court on behalf of James Eleazer Galloway. It's not clear whether James Murphy had legal training (he identified himself as a hatter in the 1860 census) or whether they hired an attorney, but their petitions were well written. The Henry County Probate Court in a special term November 3, 1866, refused to set aside the original sale. James Eleazer appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court. On 17 July, 1867, the court affirmed the ruling of the Henry County Probate Court, and awarded fees of $200. to Edward J. Galloway, administrator of the estate, to be paid by James D. Murphy. Rozier died February 9, 1867, before this case was concluded.3 |
