Research Notes:
Robert N Galloway was granted a homestead of 161 acres in Montgomery Co., AL on 3 Jun 1891 From the Burnet Bulletin, Feb 15, 1906 R. N. Galloway, father of W. C. Galloway, R. N. Galloway, Jr., and Mrs. Singleton of this place, died early Saturday morning at the home of his son, N. C. Galloway, at Round Mountain, where he had been sick since Christmas. All the loving care of his faithful children and skill of the physicians to prolong his life was of no avail--his advanced age, 84 years, coupled with the gravity of the disease was too much for human care to overcome. His body was interred in the Round Mountain Cemetery. Mr. Galloway was born September 7th, 1822, in the State of Alabama; died February 17th 1906, making him almost eighty four years old. He had been in Texas several years, and a good portion of this time he has spent with his children in Burnet, where he impressed every one as being a good man, in every sense of the word.
There seems to be a dispute as to Robert's middle name ( Nelson or Nathan) - zhm
