I have a Galvin hatter in my line as well.His name was Michael Galvin, born in Ireland. Family lore says we came from Mayo but it is not documented. Michael settled in Brooklyn, NY Ward 1, around 1851 or 1852.He was married to Mary around 1851.They had seven children, I know the names of 3, John around 1852, died between 1900 and 1910, James born around 1856, missing after 1860 census and William born 1860. Any connections?
