He further states that he has a wife alive who lives with him who is about five years younger than him and ten children alive but all have left him but two daughters

The reason that he did not apply to government earlier is that he has been able to work at his occupation (farming) and support himself but he has become latterly so afflicted with Rheumatism and other diseases incident to his period of life that he cannot clothe himself without assistance nor can he labour for support

My dear Mr. Byrns:

Reference is made to your letter of July 15, relative to information
desired by Mrs. Edythe R. Whitley, 1506 Hawkins Street, Nashville, 
Tennessee.

From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 38718,
it appears that Marshall Galloway enlisted June 27, 1777, "at the lower
cross-roads about thirty miles from Baltimore, Maryland", and served as
private in Captain Brice's Company in the 3rd Maryland Regiment.
He was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and the first
battle of Camden, and the battles of Cowpens, Guilford and Eutaw Springs,
also a number of skirmishes.  He was discharged at the close of the
Revolution.

He was allowed pension on his application executed November 22, 1825,
at which time he was sixty-five years of age and a resident of Sullivan
County, Tennessee.

In 1825 he stated that his wife was about five years younger than
himself and that he had ten children all of whom had left him except
two daughters,  no names given.

He died December 17, 1827.

Very truly yours

E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner

[handwritten note illegible]

Dear Madam:

I advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this
bureau fail to show a claim for pension on file on account of
the services of Michael Galloway under any spelling of that surname.

The citation made by you applies to a pensioner named
Marshall Galloway.

In the report of the Secretary of War, printed in 1835, his
name appears on the list of Sullivan County, Tennessee, pension-
ers as Michael, which is an error.

A person descended from Michael Galloway would, of course
not be interested in the record of Marshall Galloway.

Very truly yours,

E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner

Dear Sir:-

It appears that the error in Pension report of 1835 was
where we have had considerable trouble in establishing the
D.A.R. record of a lady desirous to join the chapter here.

As per your request to me May 21, the name should have read
Marshall instead of Michael Galloway.  This fact was most pleasing
as I had previously found a grant in this state for Marshall
and we could not distinguish the Michael as given in the pension
report.  I trust that you will forgive me for requesting the
report of Marshall Galloway, at this time.

I have no other means of establishing this point other than
through your record as the Sullivan Co. Tennessee records were
lost in 1865.  Thanking you I am

Yours truly,

Edith R. Whitley

registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under
congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subse-
