Notes:

Galbraith was an attorney in Dauphin County, Pa. His practice was located in Harrisburg, Pa. He was admitted to the Dauphin County Bar and in 1790 to the Mifflin County Bar. He was admitted to the Lancaster County Bar in 1787.

His early life was spent with his grandmother Dorcas Galbraith when his mother died during childbirth. He was well educated. He married the daughter of General William Thompson of Carlise whose Brother-in-law George Read of Deleware signed the Declaration of Independance.

History shows that he was born in Mexico, Pennsylvania but probably he was born at the home of his grandfather in Donegal Township Lancaster County. His mother, who died during childbirth, was buried next door to her father's home the day after she died so it should be assumed that she died in Lancaster County and therefor he would have been born at the same location.

Galbraith died suddenly at his farm in Lycoming County in 1801. In the 1790 census he is shown as owning two slaves. He built a brick home in Harrisburg 2 doors down from the John Harris home.

Galbraith married Catherine Thompson in 1787. Catherine (daughter of William Thompson and Catherine Ross) was born on 1 Jun 1770 in Carlisle, Cumberland, Pennsylvania, United States; died on 24 Feb 1811. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
