General Notes: Husband - Col. Bertram Galbraith

---

He received the best education the schools of that day afforded, and studied surveying, a profession he followed many years. During the French and Indian wars Colonel Galbraith served as an officer in a company of rangers for the protection of the frontiers. From 1760 to 1775, acting in his professional capacity, he surveyed the greater portion of the land located in the present counties of Dauphin, Perry and Juniata. He was a member of the Provincial convention of Jan. 23, 1775; delegate to the Provincial conference of June 18, 1776; member of the constitutional convention of July 15, 1776. During that year he was elected colonel of one of the Lancaster battalions of associators on duty in the Jerseys, during the greater portion of that year serving also as a member of the Assembly, 1776-77. On June 3, 1777 he was appointed county lieutenant; Nov. 8, one of the assistants to collect clothing for the army; Dec. 16, appointed by the Assembly to take subscriptions for the continental loan. He acted as one of the commission which met at New Haven, Connecticut, Nov. 22, 1777, to regulate the prices of commodities in the States. After four years of executive and exhaustive labor Colonel Galbraith was compelled to resign the office of county lieutenant, but remained in the service as an officer of militia until the restoration of peace. In 1789 he was appointed one of the commissioners to view the Juniata and Susquehanna, and mark the places where locks or canals were necessary to render these streams navigable. He was appointed deputy surveyor Nov. 4, 1791, and while acting as such took up large tracts in Lykens valley, but dying before patents were issued to him his heirs lost them all in the litigations which ensued. He died in Cumberland County while on a visit to his brother Andrew. [HAC 1914, 660]

He was the progenitor of a branch of the Galbraith family represented in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.
