Owen Galloway of Indiana.

The Galloway family are descendants of the prominent Pennsylvania Loyalist Joseph Galloway. Galloway had four children with his wife Grace, but only their daughter Elizabeth survived to adulthood; presumably Galloway remarried after her death and had one or more sons with his second wife. As Sobel notes, the Galloway name was one of the most honored in the Confederation of North America.

Notable members of the family include Franklin Galloway, one of the C.N.A.'s leading authors; Joseph Galloway IV, a major philosopher; Theodore Galloway, a close friend and business partner of Thomas Edison; and Samuel Galloway, a pioneer of the locomobile industry and the founder of the Galloway Locomobile company.

The most prominent member of the family after the original Joseph Galloway was Owen Galloway, who succeeded his father as head of Galloway Locomobile and transformed it into North American Motors, the second largest corporation in the world, and who also founded the Galloway Trust, which subsidized a wave of emigration from and within the C.N.A. in the 1920s.


IOW Joseph and Grace Galloway had no surviving sons, only a daughter, Betsey Galloway.
