Looking for William Gallion

Question

I'm looking for William Gallion of Logan Co, KY who married Mary Goggins Stemmons. in 1809. Specificaly looking for proof of his daughter Merrial Gallion who married JPC Langston.

Comments

What year and in what state did Merrial Gallion marry JPC Langston? What year was she born and in what state?

What is JPC Langston's first name?

I have seen war pension recipients of William, but his surname is spelled Galyon there. Recipient in 1865 was Elizabeth A Galyon and in 1880, it was Amy Galyon. It has also been spelled Gallion with at least one or two other pension recipients.

Merrial Gallion married Jackson Perry Carroll Langston on 26 June 1834 in Logan Co, KY.  JPC died in 1854 in Springfield MO. Merrial was born  7 Nov. 1815  in KY. What war pension do you have? William  died in 1824. Thanks!

Thanks Frank, but this is the wrong Langston. There were lots of them there at the time. I think that's why JPC moved to MO. Haha!

Thanks!  I'm trying to find a primary source, or something to verify that Merrial was William and Mary's daughter. Something DAR would accept. I have family sources but nothing solid.
