A little history...

Elizabeth GRAHAM Galloway and Her Seven (7) Sons
From Genforum: Before they came to America, Elizabeth and her sons moved from Wigton, Scotland to Ireland. They had settled in County Antrim, Ireland which became known as the Galloway District.

The 7 Galloway Brothers came in 1740 to the colonies with their mother, a few wives for those who were married and some children. They landed in Pennsylvania, their father having died in Scotland. From there the brothers spread out. An article indicates that "4 of the brothers settled in PA, 1 went to SC, and James was found by land records Roane and Knox Co.'s TN, and he settled in Old Crab Orchard, KY." [ The information comes from a story published by the Stone Co, MO Historical Society] Another posting states: Two of them, George and William stayed in PA, one went to SC, one to KY, one to TN, and one to IN, and one is unaccounted for. Further information on Peter is listed under his tree.

The seven sons were: Samuel, John, William, Peter, James, Thomas and George.

ELIZABETH GRAHAM GALLOWAY - KILLED BY INDIANS IN 1755

Unfortunately, life was not to be good for Elizabeth GRAHAM Galloway. On November 1, 1755 at the Great Cove near Chambersburg [Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania], Elizabeth, one of her daughter-in-laws, Martha, and two of Elizabeth's grandchildren were all killed by Indians. This was according to Sipe's 1929 book "Indian Wars in Pennsylvania" p 222, Elizabeth, her daughter-in-law, Martha (Mrs. William Galloway) and two children were killed.[actually, Elizabeth was killed, but Martha and two of Martha's children were carried away by the Indians - no one knows what became of them after that].

"The people on the path valley is all Gethered Unto a small fort, and the last account, was Safe. The Great Cove and Kennalaways is all Burned to Ashes, and about 50 persons killed or taken. There is numbers of the inhabitants of this County have moved their families, Sum to York County, and Sum to Maryland; ... "
I had read a gruesome account of what those people went through, but I cannot find it right now. However, I did find a site which has some of the info - http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/r/y/Judy-V-Fry/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0506.html:

1. Elizabeth Galloway, her son William Galloway, and his wife and children, resided in Great Cove, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in 1755.

2. Elizabeth Galloway was killed by Delaware Indians in Great Cove, Cumberland, Pennsylvania on 1 November 1755. Her death was witnessed by a grandson, a child of Elizabeth's son, William. She was 93 years of age (this would place her year of birth at 1662), and was found lying with a stake through her heart and her breast torn off. *We have that Elizabeth was born in 1690 so she would have been about 65 years old and I believe this is correct.

3. The wife and two children of William Galloway were captured by Delaware Indians in Great Cove, Cumberland, Pennsylvania on 1 November 1755. It is unknown if they survived.

4. A young woman, not named, resided with the family of William Galloway, and was captured by Delaware Indians in Great Cove, Cumberland, Pennsylvania on 1 November 1755.
