General Notes: Husband - Jacob Galley


He resided on a part of the old family homestead in Tyrone township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania; Peter, his brother, had the other portion.
He followed the business of a weaver. Below is a notice of that business, which appeared in the Genius of Liberty Oct. 9, 1827:
"Jacob Galley informs his friends that he has commenced the business of coverlet-weaving at his residence in Tyrone township, one mile from the Youghiogheny River, near the road leading from the Broad Ford to Hurst's mill on Jacob's Creek, where he is prepared to weave all kinds of coverlets, carpeting, and table linen, according to the most fashionable patterns."
He was killed at Broad Ford by the overturning of a boat.
