From: JanGalloway@aol.com Subject: Anthony Wayne & John Dewey Galloway NY>WS>CA Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 19:35:39 EST "They Went South" Page 53: John D. Galloway, sergeant, elder brother of Anthony Galloway, was also born in New York City, on December 20, 1830, and as a young man came with his parents to Wisconsin in 1849, settling in Berlin. The following year his father purchased a timber farm nine miles northeast of Berlin near the present site of Auroraville. After helping his father clear the land of trees and brush he worked as a printer in Berlin, first on the Berlin Mercury and then in other printing offices of the village. On September 6, 1861 he enlisted in the Third Wisconsin Battery, Light Artillery. He saw active service with his unit which was part of General Thomas's Army of the Cumberland. In June, 1864, he was relieved from duty by Generals Thomas and Steadman, and allowed to publish the Daily Gazette of Chattanooga. Galloway received his discharge on October 10, 1864, and continued his work with the paper until June 1865. Returning to Berlin he farmed near the city until 1869 when he moved his family to Queen City, Missouri, where he became a station agent for the North Missouri Railroad. In 1874 he returned to Berlin. He spent a year as organizer of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of Wisconsin and served as an officer at the Wisconsin State Penitentiary. In 1884 he moved to California, purchasing land at Orlando where he developed a vineyard. In November, 1887, he was appointed postmaster and in 1890 was elected justice of the peace; later he was appointed internal revenue agent with headquarters in Fresno. He died July 23, 1908, at the home of daughter in Fresno where he is buried.

Stone's River (Tennessee) campaign, December 26,1862-January 5,1863 Five Galloway men, all Union soldiers, would participate in the major battle that was fought at Stones River, Tennessee during the days of December 30, 31, 1862 and January 1, 1863. Four would live to serve until the end of the Civil War. One would be listed as missing and is most likely buried, as an unknown Union Soldier, in Stones River National Cemetery. It must have been some weird twist of fate that these men did not know each other, except for the three brothers, being all great grandsons of John and Hannah Lamb Galloway. Not only that they all five fought in the 3rd Division during the Battle of Stones River. The three bothers were Anthony Wayne, Charles, and John Dewey Galloway all serving with the Third Wisconsin Battery Light Artillery. The after battle report of the Third Wisconsin Battery Light Artillery stated, “We have expended in all 358 rounds of ammunition, lost 9 horses, 2 sets harness, and have 4 men wounded. Present for duty, 3 commissioned officers and 107 men.” James Duane Galloway was a private in Company K, 23rd Kentucky Infantry. During the battle the 23rd Kentucky lost 8 enlisted men killed, 3 officers wounded, 50 enlisted men wounded, and additional 22 enlisted men captured or missing. John A. Galloway was a private in Company E, 24th Ohio Infantry. During the battle the 24th Ohio lost 4 officers and 10 enlisted men killed. They suffered 4 officers and 68 enlisted men wounded plus additional 12 men captured or missing. John a. Galloway was among the missing on December 31, 1862 and presumed buried, as an unknown Union soldier, in Stones River National Cemetery. Two younger brothers of John A. Galloway, Sumner P. and Hilas Galloway, enlisted in Company B, 32nd Ohio Infantry. I have after the Battle of Stones River reports by the commanding officers of the 24th Ohio, 23rd Kentucky, and Third Wisconsin Battery Light Artillery. MORE
