Note* Some people believe this Andrew is the son of Andrew and Mary Kyle of York who married Nancy Hicklin and ended up in VA. It is interesting that William, son of John of York (d. 1769) and an Andrew both appeared in Orange County about the same time. Bill Gilbreath proposes that possibly Andrew who married Mary Kyle and William were cousins with John of Ireland the common grandfather. 
Name Variation Galbraith 
Birth*say 1730 1 
Witness*November 1768 Orange County, North Carolina, USA; William and Andrew were signers of an Orange County petition to the Governor. This possibly indicates a connection between the two.; Principal=William Galbreath2

Military*circa 1776 Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, USA; Andrew's gravestone states that he was a member of the Cumberland County militia and served on Washington's staff. Served at the rank of Major.3,4 
Residence*1786 Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, USA; This was a tract of land originally owned by George Croghan but he lost the land when Richard Peters called in the mortgage. James (Andrew and John's father) then purchased the land from Peters. The property was on the banks of the Conodoguinet Creek and he subsequently bought an adjoining tract of land. When he died in 1786, the land was divided between his two youngest sons, John and Andrew. John received the house which currently (2001) belongs to the Keck family on Skyport Road near Carlisle. It was built about 1770 by James Galbraith, Jr. Andrew received the two houses and property at the corner of Skyport and Terrace, one being the log cabin that was originally built in about 1740 by George Croghan and is probably the oldest house still standing in Cumberland County. The other house was James Galbraith Jr.s' house which was built in 1761 or 1762 when he moved across the Susquehenna River and purchased the property. James' will directed that Andrew was to pay "my said wife Elisabeth the one third part of the produce and profits of the said tract of land yearly." Elisabeth continued to live on Andrew's property, either in the main house or perhaps the log house, until her death in 1799. Tax roles in the late 18th century show the house to be a one story house, so additions have obviously been added over the years.
In the source, History of Cumberland and Adams Counties, Pa. published in 1886, it states that the early settlers of Silver Spring Township in Cumberland County included "two brothers, John and Andrew. Andrew lived just below Bryson's (now Eberly's) farm, and John up the Creek, north of Bryson's farm (referring to Conodoquinet Creek)".; Principal=John Galbreath5

Walnut From Own Trees Fashioned By Freeport Farmer for Self and Kin.

Freeport, PA., Dec. 8.-The solid walnut casket which Angus GALBRAITH, Armstrong county farmer, kept in his house for 15 years against the day he should die, was underground today.

GALBRAITH, 88, buried in Freeport cemetery, in a grave he had dug and caulked with pitch at the same time he obtained his funeral bier.

Fifteen years ago, he selected trees from his own farm, and had three caskets made at a Freeport planing mill-one for his wife, one for a sister and one for himself.

Friends said he kept the caskets in his home.

Then he had excavated two graves in Freeport cemetery, lines the sides with tar, and filled them in.

His wife died eight years ago. The second grave was opened again and GALBRAITH went to join her.

One walnut casket still awaits the passing of the sister.
