Biography
John was born in 1748. He was the son of Samuel Galloway and Ann Chew. He passed away in 1810.
John Galloway, son of Samuel Galloway of Tulip Hill, West River, MD allegedly was an eyewitness to the burning of the brig, the Peggy Stewart, which was docked in Annapolis, abrim with tea in October 1774.
According to J.D. Warfield's research published in Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, John wrote his father:
"The committee then ordered the tea from on board the brig, but somee of the mob called out that it should also share the same fate. The committee, then with the consent of Mr. Dick, declared the vessel and tea should be burnt...Mr. Stewart went on board of his vessel and set fire with his own hands and she was burning when I left."
