The census taker apparently got months employed wrong, he listed almost everyone on this and immediately adjacent pages as unemployed 12 months out of year. On a later page he struck out a page full of 12 month entries, leaving no entries.

The census taker appears to have got some of the birth places wrong, need to check another census to confirm.2

Father   James Galloway1 b. b 1740
Mother   Rebecca (?)1 b. b 1745

Birth* before 1755 1800 census identifies him as over 451,2,3 
Comment* Eleazer Galloway; Abraham is the best candidate for now in my view for father of Eleazer because he is shown to be in Camden and Cheraws Districts before 1790 and he is of the the Galloway family that had substantial land on Lynches Creek. One source alleges that Eleazer was from the Lynches Creek area. In 1800 census Abraham had a male age 16-25 in the household, which would have been Eleazer's age 
Military* say 1780 American Revolution, South Carolina Militia, Camden District, South Carolina, USA, unknown date, reference payment in 1787 for prior military service4 
Land Grant* 20 September 1784 Big Cypress Creek, Cheraws District, South Carolina, USA, Land Transaction: "I have caused to be admeasured and laid out unto Abraham Galloway a tract of land containing four hundred acres situate in the District of Cheraws on the Big Cypress and hath such form and marks buttings and boundings as the above plat represents.

Certified for the 20th day September 1784
Elias DuBose D.S & Ephraim Mitchell Surveyor General"

The Big Cypress is in another source Big Cypress Creek.5 
Land Grant 10 November 1785 Lynches Creek, Camden District, South Carolina, USA, Land transaction: "I have caused to be admeasured and laid out unto Abraham Galloway a tract of land containing three hundred acres situate in the District of Camden on the SE side of Lynches Creek and waters thereof and hath such form and marks buttings and boundings as the above plat represents.

Certified for the 10th day of November 1785
Elias DuBose D.S. & Ephraim Mitchell Surveyor General"

The reference has a transcription of the land plat. It shows vacant land on all sides.6 
Misc* 24 January 1787 Camden District, South Carolina, USA, paid at Camden for prior unidentified South Carolina militia service in Revolutionary War4 
Cen-Head* 1800 SC Sumter Co Census 1800; Sumter County, South Carolina, USA, "Abraham Galloway", male age 45 or older, with female age 26-44, males - 2 u10, 2 10-15, 1 16-25 (possibly Eleazer), females 1 u10, 1 10-15.3 
Land* 26 February 1803 Darlington County, South Carolina, USA, research notes cite a land sale from Wm Balk to Rigdon Balk, referring to the land as part of the 400 acre Abraham Galloway land grant of April 3, 1786. Note that Absalom Galloway had a substantial land grant in the same year.7 
Land* 1 February 1808 Thomas Galloway; Lynches Creek, Sumter District, South Carolina, USA, *appeared on a land plat of 800 acres for George Gideon and Alexander Gage, shown as owning adjacent land|| The land was at the confluence of Mill Creek, Lynches Creek, and Stump Branch. Thomas' land was on Stump Branch and appears to have abutted Lynches Creek. Land owned by Singleton was adjacent, then adjacent was Abraham's land. Other landowners named were Jacob Brown and John OGuire8
Cen-Head* 1810 SC Sumter Co Census 1810; Sumter County, South Carolina, USA, "Abrom Gallaway", age over 45, with female 45+, 2 males 16-25, 2 females u10, 2 females 16-25. Adjacent were Wm Galloway and Levy Gallaway families.9

Father   James Galloway2 b. b 1740
Mother   Rebecca (?)2,3 b. b 1745

Birth* before 1762 Darlington County Region, South Carolina, USA, Birth was before 1774 per federal census, birth c1762 per IGI. Date before 1762 seems likely since he was a buyer at an estate sale in 1782 so probably an adult.4,1,2,5 
Comment* Eleazer Galloway; candidate for father of Eleazer but seems unlikely. Absalom will refers to earlier marriage and children of the marriage, but does not name Eleazer as a child. If Eleazer birth is 1780 as estimated then he would have still been a minor at time of this will and in the Absalom household. 
Misc* 1782 Camden District, South Carolina, USA, a buyer at the estate sale of Samuel Ratcliff6 
Land Grant* 3 April 1786 Darlington County, South Carolina, USA, an Absalom land grant was referred to in a sale of land by Richard Ingram to Bolton Harris on Sept 15, 18277 
Marriage* before 1789 Spouse unknown, but referred to in Absalom's will8 
Land* 31 October 1789 James Galloway; 196 acres, north side of Lynches Creek, Darlington County, South Carolina, USA, It appears that father James Galloway provided for wife Rebecca by transferring land to son Absalom for her use, although I have no proof that the land transaction was from Absalom's father James.

Extract of Deed, James Galloway to Absalom Galloway: "...witnesseth that for and in consideration of twenty Pounds Sterling money of the said state to him in hand paid by the said Absalom Galloway at or before the signing sealing and delivering of these presents the receipt of which I the said James Galloway do acknowledge and have granted bargained sold and delivered and by these presents do bargain sell deliver and confirm unto the said Absolom Galloway in his actual possession now being by virtue of a bargain and sale to him for twenty pounds to him his heirs assigns forever a tract of land containing one hundred and ninety six acres part of two tracts and for the said Galloways [transcriber's note: there is no punctuation in Galloways] mother Rebecca Galloway is to have her life time in this said tract situate in Darlington County on the north side of Linches Creek granted to James Galloway bounded on William Barreks line together with all the houses, barnes, edifices, buildings, gardens, orchards, ferrys, waters, water courses, prophets, commodities, hereditament appurtenances thereunto belonging or in anywise appertaining to the said one hundred and ninety six acres of land herein mentioned the ditch to be the line between the two and all other lines agreeable to the three brothers with all the rights titles, true trust possession benefits property plains and demands whatsoever of him the said James Galloway to have and to hold the said one hundred and ninety six acres of land with all and singular the premises before mentioned unto the said Absalom Galloway his heirs and assigns forever ....

"Recorded in Book AA Page 175 176 & 177 and examined this 25th day of January 1790 Test Evander McIver Clk Ct.
Recorded 2nd March 1815"9 
Marriage* before 1790 Rachel Marshall; Absalom's second marriage, supported by reference in Absalom will to children of first wife, and to current wife Rachel. Rachel was later head of household in 1800 census, with some neighbors corresponding to 1790 Absalom. Date is a guess based on will of Absalom.1,10,8 
Cen-Head* 1790 SC Cheraws District Census 1790; Cheraws District, South Carolina, USA, male age 16 or over, with another male 16 or over, male under 16, and several (number illegible) females. Adjacent to (Brother?) James Galloway.1 
Will* 1 January 1793 Darlington County, South Carolina, USA, The will of Absalom Galloway, witnessed by brother James, names wife Rachael, lending her one third of the plantation as a dowry. It names her as outright recipient of many items, names her to receive "all the Hogs and Sheep in my mark for her Children begotten by me and my former Wife's Children till they become of Age."8

Alexander Galloway1

M, #1934, b. before 1756

Last Edited   30 Dec 2004

Comment* candidate for Eleazer father but he was in York County in 1790, making him far less likely; had 3 males under 16 in household in 1790 
Birth* before 1756 1,2 
Comment* Alexander Galloway; the Alexander who served in the South Carolina Militia during the American Revolution could have been either of these. Alexander #2138 of Fairfield County in 1800 seems a somewhat more likely choice given Fairfield County's closer location to the service locations listed. Alexander #1934 of York County also seemed to have a close link to Peter of York County, and I believe that the York Peter is not the one who served in the Revolution.

JournalIntro* Rosier Brannon; Eleazer Galloway of the Darlington County region of South Carolina is the earliest identified Galloway associated with the Oklahoma Balkcom line. He lived with wife Leaty in Henry County, Alabama for most of his adult life. Their daughter Anzilla Galloway married Rosier Brannon in 1826, and their daughter Rose Ann Brannon had a child John Ira Balkcom who was the first Balkcom in Oklahoma. 
Birth* 15 June 1808 Darlington District, South Carolina, USA, The 1900 census for daughter Rose Ann confirms South Carolina as place of birth.1,4

Benjamin Galloway1

M, #2049, b. before 1750

Last Edited   28 Apr 2008

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
Comment* Eleazer Galloway; Candidate for father of Eleazer, owned land in Lynches Creek area based on a land sale in 1771
