General Notes: Husband - Robert Galbreath


Of Scottish descent, he was one of the earliest settlers of the southeastern corner of Winfield township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He was a Justice of the Peace in early times. It is stated that when he arrived in Butler County with his family, it was winter time, and, putting up a rude shelter of poles and bark, the family lived in that until a log house could be built.

He came to Butler County, Pennsylvania, in company with his four brothers, from Indiana County, about the close of the last century, and settled in Buffalo (later Winfield) township. It is said that three of his brothers settled in the southeast part of the county and one in the northern part. Robert took up a tract of 400 acres, cleared a farm and resided thereon up to his death. He was one of the early justices of what is now Winfield township, in which part the family settled.
