Maj. Heinrich "Henry" Gallman

Heinrich [called Heini/Henry], bp. 24 November 1709, d. 1767-8 in Saxegotha (will signed 25 December 1765, proved 19 February 1768). He married a Rheintaler immigrant in 1737—a daughter of Hans Jacob Geiger (either Maria Barbara, christened 25 February 1715, or Wybehrt, christened 25 September 1718). He had a total of 7 living children by November 1749, when he petitioned for a land grant based on his family-right.7 The youngest child, Gasper [Caspar], was born in 1749, per his Revolutionary War records. Henry Gallman had 6 living children at the time of his 1765 will. After the death of his first wife, he married Elizabeth Geiger, bp. 9 March 1740 in Saxegotha (suggesting a date of ~1755-60 for the second marriage), daughter of his late brother-in-law Herman Geiger and Elizabeth Habluzel. Elizabeth had no Gallman children; she married John Adam Horlbeck in Charleston on 25 February 1769. Her children, listed in her psalter, were John and Henry Horlbeck. She died on 5 November 1802, and was buried in the St. John’s Lutheran Church cemetery.

Henry Gallman was a militia lieutenant during the Cherokee War under Col. Chevillette, and commanded the company assigned to guard the military storehouse at the Congrees [Saxegotha town] in 1759-60.8 His second son Henry Jr. served in the same company. His oldest son John served under Capt. John Morrison’s Company of the Chevillette Battalion. Henry fortified his residence on the Congaree River, near the mouth of Congaree Creek, as Gallman’s Fort in order to provide shelter for local residents during Indian attacks. He was deputized to collect and ship food and military supplies—including swivel-guns—to the forces stationed to the west at Fort Prince George. He also certified claims for reimbursement of goods requisitioned from local residents as military supplies. The records of the Commons House of Assembly during the war years show that several of his expense claims were questioned—and, in fact, that they certainly should have been!9 His two youngest sons, John Conrad and Gasper, fought at the Battle of Stono on 20 June 1779 in Capt. John Ryan’s (Edgefield) Company under Gen. Williamson. Henry Gallman’s military ranks are uncertain. The 1769 wedding announcement of his widow stated that she was the “relict of Maj. Henry Gallman, deceased”. A 1771 land transaction between sons John and John Conrad states that their property was inherited from “Capt. Henry Gallman, deceased.”
