Marcia,
While trying to find my Gallaher/Gallagher link in Belmont Co., OH, I came across another line (first thought it was mine, but it is not).The Edmund and children you are looking for were included in the information I found.Unfortunately, I do not have all of it right here.You may have this already, but if you do not, it might give you an extra boost.

I can access the book easily when I go visit my parents.
