Nevertheless, the book Early Settlers of Butler County, PA. 1800-1806 ed. John F. Galll & David K. Webb, 1934, Chillicothe, OH, on pg 15 provides a list of Revolutionary Soldiers Who Resided & Owned Land in Butler County Previous to the Year 1804. Included in this list is a James Gallaher. The veteran James could possibly be an older brother of John Gallagher, or an uncle, or he could be completely unrelated. No relationship is established. The book Revolutionary War Veterans Who Settled in Butler Co. PA by Paul W. Myers, Closson Press 1985, does not mention any Gallagher or Gallaher.
