James Galbraith, a brother of John, married Elizabeth Bertram in 1733, and soon afterwards moved to Spring creek, where Derry church is, and built a grist mill, which he sold to Mr. Garber in about 1750. He was county sheriff in 1742-43. Besides holding a colonelcy in the French and Indian wars, his military records includes a lieutenant-colonelcy of Cumberland county during part of the Revolution, and his sons John, Bertram, Andrew, and Robert were Revolutionary officers. Andrew Galbraith settled below Donegal church upon land later owned by Peter Nissley and the Garbers. He was a brother of James and John Galbraith, and comes distinctively into Presbyterian church records in connection with the earliest years of the Donegal church; he is claimed to have been one of the two founders of that historic church. He moved into Cumberland county in 1747.
