The Pioneer Family GALBRAITH

 

Author: Unknown

Preface by Copyist BG Galbraith

 

The copy of "The Pioneer Family GALBRAITH" that I received from Jim Nerone was from the original held by Mary Rea Eubanks, a Benton, Illinois Librarian.  It was given to her by Dorothy Leota (Bailey) Zwengel, the widow of Adolph Zwengel.  Dorothy's Mother, Bessie Pearl Wright, had two brothers, James Arthur Wright and Charles Herbert Wright.  These were grandchildren of Jimmy Galbraith.

 

James died in 1954 at age 60 and Charles died in 1979 at age 74.  The unknown author of the Galbraith history makes two potentially identifying comments in passing during his historical narrative.  First he made reference to Jimmy Galbraith Sr. as being his grandfather.  Second, he mentioned that Sam Galbraith, son of Milton Galbraith Sr. died "last year".  Sam's death in 1951 puts the publication date of the Galbraith History in 1952.

 

In copying this document, I have attempted to retain all of the misspellings, punctuation errors and some other likely errors so that the original content is maintained.   The bulk of the document I received was typed, but a few entries and pages were hand-written.  Italics is used to denote hand-written text in this copy.  It is not known who added the hand-written text.

Frances Galbraith         Born 1832 - 1914 age 82                        (Joseph Plasters)

Samuel Galbraith Sr.   Born about 1843                          (Caroline Harriett)

William Galbraith Jr.   Born about 1845 - 1864  (Single, Died in Civil War)

 

William Galbraith Sr. was born in North Ireland of Scotch-Irish stock coming to the United States when young, he married his wife Rebecca when she was about 19.  They established their home in the southeast corner of Hamilton county Illinois, and raised there family there.  William Sr. was a farmer and a school teacher.  Because he didn't live up until such a time as any of the oldest now or lately living can remember for certain that he did not live to become an aged man, but because he raised a large family we know he didn't die until at least middle life.  He was probably born 1796, while Washington was President and George III was King of England.

 

We are not sure of the maiden name of Rebecca his wife, some say it was Jackson.  Sam Galbraith Jr. son of Milton Sr. who personaly, as a child knew her when she lived part time in the home of his father said before his death last year, that her name was Lucas.  Jim Plasters and the other old timers have believed it to be Jackson.  There is a family legend so wide spread that it would appear to have some foundation, that she was a first cousin of President Andrew Jackson.  The story is that they were first cousins, but the relationship may have been more distant.  She lived in the home of Joseph Plasters, father of Jim and Neal Plasters part time until her death in 1890 at the ripe old age of 88.  She was commonly called Granney.  She came to Illinois from the state of Georgia in 1818 the year the state of Illinois became a state, She was about 16 years old at the time.

 

Both William Sr. and Rebecca lie buried at the old unkept cemetery near the home of the late Sam Galbraith Jr. in southeast Hamilton (I think) on R.F.D. #2.  The name of the cemetery is "Old Rough"  Their sons Oliver and John and their wives also lie there.

 

Jim Plasters an intelligent man was 20 years at the time of death of his Grandmother  Rebecca and yet it appears he never had the natural curiosity to learn for certainty the name with which she was born.

 

The family name of Galbraith is a Scottish clan name.  The clan land holdings were just South of Lock (lake) Lomand and included the city of Dumporton Scotland.  Some of the Galbraiths emegrated to north Irland and from there to America, as did many other Scots, to become later known in the United States as the Scotch-Irish.

From what I have heard, Henry Sr. was about 5 feet 9 inches tall weighing about 150 pounds.  I have seen a picture of him taken during his later years, showing him to be a sober faced man with a full head of hair wearing chin whiskers shaved side of face and with a mustache.  Uncle Milt told me he was mor like Oscar in face, body and movement than any of his other sons.  It may be as in my case beard did not grow on the sides of the face, but on the chin and upper lip.

 

He raised a large family7 and developed a good farm home about 3 miles East of Thompsonvill.  After his death his son Jim Jr. owned and lived on his place for years selling out to a family of Osborns two brothers and a sister.  The sister and her husband lives there last I knew.

 

Henry Galbraith was a man of character and a leading citizen of the community.   He liked to experiment with the grafting and budding of fruit trees.  Have heard it related he had several varieties of apples growing on a single tree.  He once developed by design or accident a new variety of apple that for some time had a degree of popularity.  It was called by his name Galbraith Pippin or some such don't remember just what.

 

His Wife was Delilah Hogan a sister of John H. Hogan, Olive (Hogan) Irby, Sophie (Hogan) Mcfarland and others.

 

His second wife (mother of Oscar) was Malissa (Pus) Perryman a sister of Aaron (A) Perryman.

 

Henry and both of his wives are buried at Pleasant Hill.  I don't believe he belonged to any church.

Sophia Galbraith Lampley was a small woman about 5 foot 3 inches tall weighing 118 to 120 pounds.  She was straight of back and limb, dark hair streight - which she parted in the middle and knotted upon the lower back of her head.  She had dark eyes and a rather high and broad forehead.  She was the quite reserved type of person but friendly with those about her; she was an honest upright person, not given to too much gossip about others.

 

She was industerious and capable.  Good at sewing, made all of her clothes.  And that of her childern.  Did some work outside the family for pay.  She died at the age of 32 of pneumonia.  Delilah her  only girl child was born prematurely and lived less than a week.  Born during her last illness.

 

Mose Lampley was 5 feet 8 inches weighing 165 as a yound man and 185 in middle life, streight and huskey and athletic as a youth.  Had dark red hair and mustache.  Hair was streight and grew loose, he wore it rather long.  Rather long face and head, ruddy complection.  He was a likeable, like talk and joke friends.  Never taking life too seriously.  He never care much for hard work.  This care free attitude used to irk his wife Sophia and his mother as well.  Yet his mother thought more of him than any of her other childern.  I believe he did a lot of visiting about the neighborhood just to talk to the people and had more friends than most people have.  He died at the age 46 with pneumonia.  He had suffered a previous attact about five years before.

When he was a boy there was a popular humors book in circulation called "Pecks Bad Boy"  Somebody started calling Milton Pecks Bad Boy and this was finally shortened to "Peck" by which name he was known as a boy, a youth and a man.  As those of his age and older died off the nickname became less and less used and more people  called him "Milt".  He was never called "Peck" much by his brothers and sisters.  His brother Jim called him by his full name of Milton.

 

His first wife was Cordelia (Deal) Spain a daughter of "Jim" Spain a big full bearded man who looked like John Brown.  His second wife was Ellen Lampley a daughter of Stephen (Big Steve) Lampley and a widow of Mose Lampley.  Being Moses' second wife.  Milton and both wives are buried at Pleasant Hill.

Frances, a sister of Henry Sr. and her husband Joseph Plasters raised their family in Cantheel School district, where I first attended school.  Jim and Neal Plasters were big boys in this school when I was in the Chatt Class and so also were Gilbert "Gib" and Bryant Heard, They were the sons of Mount and grandsons of Harriett Galbraith Plasters and her husband.  Joe Mount Heards name was Mounteville, he was called Mount for short.  Carroll Gulley was the father of Will and Dick Gulley.

Oliver Galbraith another brother of Henry Sr..
