General Notes: Husband - Philip Galley


He married and they emigrated [from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania?] to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and settled on the Youghiogheny river, in the midst of what became the famous coke region.

He was a native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and went from there to Frederick County, Maryland. In 1799 he purchased one hundred and a half acres of land of Andrew Schallenberger, in Tyrone township, a portion of the original Meason warrant, and immediately after his marriage in Lancaster County went there to reside. His family of eight sons and three daughters all reached maturity, married, and reared families of their own in and near Tyrone.
He first lived on land which later belonged to the Morgan Coal- and Coke-Works. He was the first fruit-raiser in that region, and continued to be largely engaged in the cultivation of fruit-trees until 1835. In 1820 he sold his farm to his eldest son, Peter, and purchased that of Joseph Huston, in the township of Franklin, Fayette County, living there until his death. This farm, lying on the river, and on the line between the townships of Franklin and Dunbar, was later owned by his son Henry.
