Notes for ROBERT GALBRAITH:

* Given Name: Robert

* Surname: Galbraith

* Sex: M

* Birth: 1590 in Sterling County, Scotland

* Death: Abt. 1650 in County Donegal, Ireland

* Note: This link is not proven but based on investigations and research by several Galbraith and Gilbreath researchers. It is recorded that various branches of the Galbraith family were sent to Ireland before migrating to Virginia, Massachusetts, and the Carolinas. According to one source, Robert and three of his brothers, Humphrey, William and John moved from Sterling County Scotland to Donegal County Ireland about 1615. Some of the brothers used the name Galbreath, other Galbraith. In the early days, the spelling of ones last name was unimportant and it was spelled more than one way but was pronounced the same. There are instances where a person spelled his family name two or three different ways in the same hand written document.

Source of following; Bill Watkins, direct Deceased of James)

 

James Galbraith born in the North of Ireland emigrated to the US in 1718 and settled in what was then Conestoga, afterwards, Donegal township, then Chester county, Province of Pennsylvania. He was one of the founders of old Derry church, a man of prominence, and the head of a remarkable family. He died August 23, 1744, and is buried in the old graveyard at Derry. His tombstone is inscribed "Here lieth the remains of James Galbraith who departed this life ye 23d August1744 aged 78 years". He was the first of our Clan Galbraith to begin the Great Westward Migration.

    Nothing is known of James Galbraith, prior to his arrival in America. Even after arriving in Pennsylvania the information is very scanty and most of what we know is more through the records of his children, than actual knowledge of his own deeds. Since James was 52 years old when he arrived in Pennsylvania and since he was not among the group identified as first purchasers, we must assume that he belonged to that group which left their homeland, family and friends to find freedom and religious tolerance in a new country. To know that his new life was a success we need only to look at his children, who helped form the character of America. He brought with him, his wife Rebecca Chambers, daughter of Arthur Chambers, and his sons John Andrew, and James all born in Ireland, John about 1690, Andrew born in 1692. and James born in 1703.

Generation No. 4

 

4.  ANDREW4 GALBRAITH (JAMES3, JOHN2, ROBERT1) was born 1692 in North of Ireland, and died 1747 in Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania.  He married MARY KYLE 1717 in North of Ireland, daughter of JAMES KYLE.  She was born 1688 in Tyrone Co. , North of Ireland, and died 1740 in Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania.

 

Notes for ANDREW GALBRAITH:

There are several pages about Andrew Galbraith on Rootsweb.com, and his accomplishments and the Galbreath's in Pennsylvania, provided by Kyles, Mogg And Associated Families! If you need help let me know! Andrew immigrated from Ireland to America with his wife and Parents in 1718 - and settled in what later became Lancaster County Pa.. He became the first coroner in Lancaster county (in 1729) and held a number of other offices, culminating with several years service in the Provincial Assembly.

 

Andrew helped organize the county and was the first county coroner: he also held the offices of Justice of the peace of the court of common pleas, Representative to the General Assembly, and Justice of the Peace, as well as serving several years in the Provincial Assembly.

 

He was one of the first Ruling Elders of the Old Donegal Church. The Galbraiths were originally from Scotland but they had lived for some time in Ireland before emigrating to America, and while there they had taken on some of the attributes of this culture. This was especially true in the case of Andrew. He had not only the somber deliberate ways of the Highland Scots, but also the ebullient enthusiasm and charm of a true son of Blarney. This combination he put to good use in his new home on the frontier, which he established on Little Chicques creek, a short distance below the point where the Mount Joy and Marietta turnpike crosses the Donegal run. He was also a pious man and a staunch member of the Presbyterian Church. Andrew was the first ruling elder, selected the site for the first building, and without doubt held services on many occasions, as the first Pastor was a Reverend James Anderson, who received a call from the Donegal Church in 1726. In 1730 the original log structure was replaced by a building of rough

stone laid in mortar. The influence of the Donegal Church was felt far beyond the

confines of Lancaster County and became the nursery of Presbyterianism in a

large part of Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.

 

John was one of the largest, if not the largest landowner in Lancaster County. His first acquisition was for 1000 acres about 10 miles south of the present City of Lancaster.

Notes for THOMAS WESLEY GALBREATH:

Mary Angeline Griffin, 1st. wife, information prior to 1880 taken from internet genealogy posted by Betty Adkisson who attributes her information to CD from Family Tree Maker and a Book By Elner C. Gilbreath. Other information is from death certificate of Mary Isa Dora Galbreath, listing Wesley Galbreath as Father.

Ramsey} #276 William Wesley Robershaw & Mary Isa Dora Galbreath & Family #277 George W. Robershaw & Sara {Ramsey} Calhoun and Family.

Thomas Wesley Galbreath fought for the Confederate States, in the War between the States. Grandmother Maggie told me, that he and his brothers fought at the Battle of Chattanooga. They had to kill their horse's for food or they would have starved to death!! Thomas and his brother James Harvey are both listed in the Unit below but no rank was given?

 

58th Regiment, Alabama Infantry

58th Infantry Regiment [also called 54th Regiment] was organized at Troy, Alabama, in March, 1863, with men from Pike, Barbour, Dale, Coffee, and Henry counties. The regiment served under General Clanton in the Department of the Gulf and was on duty at Mobile and Pollard until January, 1864. It then was assigned to General Scott's and Shelley's Brigade, Army of Tennessee. The 57th fought in the Atlanta Campaign, was part of Hood's winter operations, and saw action at Bentonville. At the Battle of Peach Tree Creek it lost fort-eight percent of the 130 engaged, and at Franklin and Nashville its casualties were again high. Only a remnant surrendered in April, 1865. The field officers were Colonels John P.W. Amerine and Charles J.L. Cunningham, Lieutenant Colonels William C. Bethune and James W. Mabrey, and Major J.H. Wiley.

Notes for JOHN CLIFFORD ADKISSON, JR.:

Dear friends,

Just a note to let you know that I am behind of my e-mail's .  I had two strokes 6/24/08 I was having lunch with my son at our favorite Mexican Restaurant.  When all of a sudden I did not feel so good.  My son immediately took me to Kennestone Hospital in Marietta Georgia.  The Doctor there was on his toes.  He immediately started medicine.  He said that if anyone had a stroke and they could get to the hospital within three hours that this medicine could be administered and possible would help greatly.  At first the stroke was on my right side it was very severe then all of a sudden I had another stroke on my left side.  I was in the hospital from 6/24/08 through 7/8/08 I got home yesterday.  I feel pretty good but it is going to take time to get back to my normal self. . Also my sister Mary Nell was getting her blood transfusion on 6/27/08 when all of a sudden she had problems also.  She stayed in the hospital from 6/27/08 through 7/8/08  I got home shortly after noon and she got home around 4 PM.  We are both very thankful that things turned out alright.  Although Mike had to try and help both of us.  He has been a God's Blessing to both of us.  I don't know what we would have done if we had not had him to help us out.
