Since his father died leaving minor children, of whom John was the youngest (age 8), it is probable that John followed his older sisters and his grandmother's people to Darke County, Ohio. His mother, Mary, may have come, too. Ellihue Galbreath, son of Milton, who lived his entire life near the John and Elizabeth homestead near Arcanum, Ohio, related at 86, with memory clear, that his grandfather, John Galbreath, "came to Ohio from Pennsylvania about 1800 when he was just a boy, with his brother, James, to visit relatives." In 1818, John became a member of the Masonic Order. In the spring of 1819, he was made a Master Mason in Pickaway Lodge No. 23 at Circleville, Ohio. Entries in the lodge books are made under three different spellings: Galbreath, Galbraith, and Gilbraith. The last spelling is the one that is used in making the entry for the marriage record at Eaton, Ohio:
I do certify that John Gilbraith and Elizabeth Aikman were joined in the bonds of matrimony on the 23rd day of May, 1811, by me.
David Purviance
Per the Bureau of Land Management document #1797 (Ohio), on September 2, 1830, a John Galbreath made a land patent (original purchase from the government) of 77.52 acres in Darke County, the Wu of the SWo, block 23, township 8N, range 3E of the West of the Greater Miami meridian. This John is most likely the subject of this page.
Both John and Elizabeth attended the Universalist Church at Castine, Ohio, where they may have been members. Elizabeth continued her allegiance to that church after John died and she had gone to live with her son, Samuel, in Pierceton,
Ellihue also related that his earliest memory was attending his grandfather's funeral when the procession was halted by the crossing of a herd of deer.
The family bible was in the hands of grandson, Robert Quinn, in the 1940's.
The will of John Galbreath was dated May 2, 1855, proved on October 5, 1855, in Darke County, Ohio, and recorded in Will Book A, Page 180. It states that after his debts, funeral expenses, and his wife's third are taken out, then:
Item I give and bequeath unto my daughter Mary Dye the sum of one hundred dollars...
Item I give and bequeath unto my daughter Elizabeth Offill the wife of John N. Offill one hundred dollars...
Item I give and bequeath unto my grand children heirs of John Galbreath my son deceased one hundred dollars...
Item I give and bequeath all the rest and residue of my estate both real and personal to be equally divided among my sons Joseph, Alexander, Jackson, Samuel, and Milton in equal portion...
And lastly I do hereby constitute and appoint my son Jackson A. Galbreath to be sole Executor of this my last will and Testament...
The will was witnessed by Peter Roberson and Jacob Feltenbarger.
