According to Lydia Gallatin Evan's book, Jeremiah's daughter Francena's obituary reported her birthplace to be Waynesburg, Green County, PA. in 1825.The obit also reported that the family moved to Guernsey [Lydia spelled it Quernesey, presumably because that was the spelling in the obit] County, OH. No date was given for this move but Francena's younger brother was born in 1827.The three sons of Jeremiah and Jerusha, Francis B., Albert, and Jeremiah Jr. purchased land jointly in Morgan County OH in April 1840.In May of the same year Jeremiah and Jerusha also purchased a tract there.In August 1843 Jeremiah and Jerusha split their property and sold half to the two of their boys (Francis B. and Jeremiah Jr.) and half to their daughters (Jerusha Ann and Francena). In 1845 Francis B. sold his part of the land back to his mother.On 11 January 1846 Jeremiah married Tabitha Winfreyin Livingston Co MO. Jerusha died in 1859.Tabitha died in 1863. Jeremiah married Susan Todd 22 March 1864. Francena Gallatin Wiley visited her father in Missouri shortly before his death and took my 6 or 7 yr old great grandfather, John Quincy Adams Gallatin, back to OH to raise.
