Hi all,
New subscriber here...
My GGGrandfather, Gibson G. Gallagher (a.k.a. John), was born in White
Pigeon, Michigan (on the Indiana border) c1831. In almost 20 years of
research I have not been able to find his parentage. I did not find a
Gallagher in or near White Pigeon in the 1840 census so I am assuming
the family left the area between 1831 and 1840.
In approx 1855, he married Sarah Lockwood in LaPorte, Indiana. Using
the BLM site at
http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/) I see a Henry Gallagher
purchased land in LaPorte, Indiana in 1837. Could this Henry be the
father of my Gibson?...My Gibson had a son named Henry so I think it's
possible.
Does anyone have access to any Indiana records or books that might help
me determine who Henry Gallagher was or who his children were? I know
it's a long shot but I've been at the brick wall on this family for so
long that I'm looking for different angles!
Best wishes to all,
Bonnie
