FAMILY RECORDS
Compiled chiefly from records and memorandums preserved in the
respective families; and also from two obituary notices of the
Rev. [Reverend?] SAMUEL R. GAILEY and the Rev. [Reverend?] SAMUEL M.
GAILEY, which appeared in the "Presbyterian Historical Almanac" for the
years 1863 and 1864; from which also has been collected the informa-
tion [information?] inserted concerning the origin, migration,
and settlement of the family in Ireland.
    Feeling that much which would, at least, be highly instructive
to posterity, if dependent on the plans, arrangements, or, perhaps,
neglect of the individual, would be almost sure to perish, it was
resolved by a few friends, that as many statistics of the respective
families, as could be collected, should be compiled, and a copy
furnished to each family for private use only, and thus, while
giving additional interest to each, likely to render the whole more
permanent.
                                                             A.B.

FIRST GENERATION, ON RECORD
The family of the Gaileys is of Scotch origin, they belonged
to a Highland Clan, the Chieftain of which was Buchanan.*
   When the house of Hanover ascended the throne of England,
the adherents of the house of Stewart were still numerous and
influential in Scotland.  When the rebellion of 1715, which had
for its object the placing of Prince James, son of James II., on the
Scottish throne, broke out, the ancestors of the Gaileys were living
in the island of Bute.  Being staunch Presbyterians, and in politics
Whigs, they supported the house of Hanover and the Protestant
succession, and opposed the claims of the Stewarts and the schemes
of the Jacobites.  About the beginning of the reign of George 1.,
three brothers - perhaps owing to the disturbed state of Scotland
at the time - removed from the island of Bute to Ireland.  One
settled near Letterkenny, and the two others in Tyrone; one at
Killenure, near Omagh, the other in the Parish of Ardstraw.  This
last married the daughter of Mr. Brown, of Creevy, and with her
received the lands of Cavnabun. [Cavanbun?]  The house, slightly modified,
in which he lived, still stands, and with part of the lands is still
in possession of the family.
   The family of the Browns, and also of the Crawfords, with
which they were afterwards connected, had removed to this country
from Scotland, at an earlier period.
  *Buchanan it would appear, was the original name of the family, but from
the success of one of the family in a tournament and the flower profusion of
the spot on which the victory was achieved they were henceforth called
by the name of Gay-Lea or Gealy.  Such is the oldest spelling of the name.
In the license of the Rev. Daniel Gealey, an "e" is inserted before the "y".
The American branches have adopted the spelling "Gayley," and those in this
country "Gailey," within the last fifty years.

SECOND GENERATION
The only issue, recorded, of Mr. Gealy's marriage with
Mr. Brown's daughter is John Gealy (the name was so spelled
then), neither the date of his birth nor death has been preserved.
He married Martha Love, who died 17th March, 1783.
    A memorial stone in Mr. Gealy's house bears the inscription
1776, though the house was built eight years before this date.
There is also a stone built into the front of the office houses with
the initials "A. G. 1777".

   Mr. Gealy ruled well his household and was for many years a Ruling
Elder in the Presbyterian Church of Drumlegagh.  Mrs Gealy, his wife
was a woman of very signal piety, she gave a character to the society in
which she moved; and her children have risen up and called her blessed.
To her zeal, combined with that of her former pastor, the Rev. [Reverend?]
Mr. Law must be attributed the establishment of the Drumlegagh Congregation.
One of her sons, Samuel entered the Ministry and four of her grandchildren,
namely Samuel R. Gailey, whose field was Shanghai and Tung Chow, China
James Gailey, Annan, Scotland; Samuel A. Gayley, West Nottingham, Maryland;
and Andrew Brown, Hollymount.  All her grandchildren, who came to years of
discretion numbering over fifty, with two or three exceptions, have become
members of the Church of their fathers. When very weak and near to death,
she asked the family to engage in singing the 40th Psalm, which had been
with her a subject of delight and meditation; when they had proceeded as
far as the words-
       "He put a new song in my mouth,
        Our God to magnify,
        Many shall see it, and shall fear;
        And on the Lord rely."
the tremulous voice which had joined in the singing of the first
became still, and her happy spirit passed away to join the choir who
praise Him day and night in His temple for ever.

Newark, and Chairman of the Executive Committee.  He was twice offered
the Chair of Languages, and once invited to the  Presidency of the
Institution, all of which he declined.  He was also for many years a
Trustee of Lafayette College, and always took great interest in its

closely associated with all that is honourable and of good report.

Mr. Gailey's parents had intended him for the ministry and his
education was directed with a view to fit him for entering college,
but his attention was turned to business, and after serving an
apprenticeship in Strabane, he continued in the same department of business
for some years in Belfast.  In 1857, commenced business on his own account,
in the Tea trade, in Liverpool, in partnership with his brother Alexander.
In order to superintend the Irish branch of the Business, he came to

4:4:9 Joseph Brown went to America about twenty years ago; was drafted
into the American War, and though he offered 600 dollars, no
subsitute could be found.  He accordingly entered the army, and
served for nine months at the close of the insurrection, under
General Sherman; marched to the City of Nashville, in Tennessee;
through Georgia to Savannah and the coast, through North and South
Carolina to Goldsborough; thence to Raleigh, the capital of North
Carolina; thence to Hollysprings, where General Johnston surrendered
to Sherman.  There was fighting less or more every day through all

and shells through fifteen States.  He endured great hardships lying
in swamps; and part of the time had nothing to eat, which was the
worst of all.  Yet at the close of the war he returned to the bosom
of his family without wound or impediment.
