Biographical History
Joseph Galloway (1731-1803), an American British loyalist. In 1753, he married Grace Growden, daughter of Lawrence Growden, Jr. (1694-1770), one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in colonial Pennsylvania. As a member of the Pennsyvalvania Assembly, Galloway was part of Benjamin Franklin's anti-proprietary faction. He was the Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress in 1774 and signed the non-importation agreement, but refused to sign the Declaration of Independence. In 1776, he joined the British Army and was appointed civil commissioner and superintendent of police during the British occupation of Philadelpiha. In 1778, the General Assembly of Pennsylvania convicted him of high treason and confiscated his estates, and Galloway and his only daughter Elizabeth fled to England. In 1779, he gave damaging testimony to the House of Commons against Howe. His wife remained in the city, hoping to secure her father's inheritance. She died in Philadelphia in 1782. The Growden's estate was settled only after Galloway's death in 1803. The Pennsylvania properties were inherited by the children of Grace Galloway and her elder sister Elizabeth Growden Nickelson.
