Notes |
- John Galbraith settled on Donegal Meeting-House Run, about two miles farther down than where his brother, Andrew located. He came in the same year with his father, James and his brother, Andrew. John built a grist and sawmill on the north side of the Marietta and Mount Joy turnpike at the run as early as 1721. He also brewed beer and kept an ordinary in 1726, to which reference is made under heads of taverns. He was elected Sherriff in 1731, and was a member of the first jury drawn in the county.
