I believe these surname spellings all come from the same family. Mine is Caleb O'Gallaher, born ca 1739 in Ballyshannon and emigrated to America abt 1750. Married a Martha JONES in Welmington, New Castle, DE in 1757. His father was John O'Gallaher and mother Margaret, with siblings JAMES, HUGH, WILLIAM, ANNA, BRIDGETT, JOHN, THOMAS, PATRICK.
Caleb evidently changed the spelling of the surname to GOLLAHER, perhaps in an effort to get Americans to pronounce it correctly.
