Robert Galbraith of Philadelphia bought 150 acres of land in Straban from a John Galbreath of Straban Twp, York Co. in 1765 (Deed Book E-141), land John had acquired in 1754. While we cannot yet identify John (he is on the 1762 tax role but not the 1772), it is likely that Robert was the brother of James (died 1772), both of Straban. The Philadelphia Will Book N #260 has: "John Galbreath. City of Philadelphia Merchant. 18 March 1766. 12 April 1766. Wife: Jean. Brothers: James, Robert." Robert, if he is the one of Philadelphia, likely relocated from Philadelphia to Straban as a Robert appears in the 1779-1783 tax records of York-Straban (Penn Abstracts III-21), with 200 acres, and in 1783 with a residence of eight. A Robert Gilbraith was admitted to practice as an attorney in York on 22 October 1765 (History of York Co, p71 by W. C. Carter [1834]) and given that the tax rolls shows Robert as 'Esquire', these two should be the same. Robert's land purchase and acceptance to the York bar occurred one week apart. The tax list of 1779 in Straban includes under single men a Rob't Galbreath with no assessment;thiks is a second listing for that year only, he might be the son of James (d. 1772). Further, in 1779, there are several references to Robert Galbreath of Straban, 'private'. One involves a court case where Robert paid D26 to a reluctant draft substitute-I assume this was not the elder Robert, Esq. of Straban. Robert Galbreath, Esquire, was representative to the General Assembly in 1780 (PA Colonial Records Vol. 12-513).
I am not clear on who was the Robert, representative to the Assembly, because some histories show him of Bedford and coming to York to serve and possibly having lived in York before moving to Bedford.
Another Robert Galbreath, was a contemporary of the Robert, Esq., but resided in Mount Pleasant and was prob. the son of John (d. 1769)of that Twp.
