My father was a carpenter and joiner by trade and followed his occupation...My father's origin I know little of, further than his father was an American and fought under General Washington in several battles. My mother is of Scotch descent. Sarah Galley was born in 1789 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, the daughter of James Galley and Rebecca....My father, at the time of my birth, was on a trip to Quebec, Canada, where he went with one of my uncles, his brother, with a raft of lumber down the St. Lawrence River. Soon after my birth my mother received a letter from my uncle stating that my father had recently died with yellow fever and that he had willed all of his property to him. Although the brother produced no evidence, he succeeded in driving my mother, with her two children, from her home, and dispossessing her of all of the property.
