Sherry, I would be delighted to see if we can match up some family.Since my grandmother was born at Little Stone Gap, VA and her sister was born at Big Stone Gap, certainly we are searching in the same area.
I am specifically looking for information on the following:
Letitia Witt daughter of Oscar Martin Witt and Louisa Osborne, married David Dettor Galloway, son of Joseph Ellis Galloway and Sarah Johnson.
Joseph Ellis Galloway was son of J.E. Galloway and M.E. and I believe he had a brother named David Galloway, born about 1819 in Green County, Tn and died in 1871 in Lee Co., Va.David Galloway married Keziah Dykes.
My great grandmother was Hannah Johnson, she was the daughter of Benjamin Johnson and Sarah Galloway and she was born in 1849.Hannah married Wiley Witt - a brother of Letitia Witt.
I have information that when Hannah was 18 she was listed on the census rolls as living in Lee Co., Va in the home of David and Keziah Galloway.
I believe that Hannah Johnson was a cousin (through her mother Sarah Galloway Johnson to the children of Joseph Ellis Gallowayand Sarah Johnson who are:
Joseph Galloway,
David Dettor Galloway
Elizabeth Galloway
Sarah A. Galloway
Leroy Galloway
Andrew Galloway.
I also believe that her father may also have been a son of J.E. and M.E. Galloway and might have born also in Tennessee.
So, what I have, the Johnson, Witt and Galloway families intermarrying.
If any of this information fits your Galloway family, please let me know.
