Caroline A Reeves married James Duane Galloway October 19, 1843 in Oakland County, Michagan. They were parents of eight children, 3 sons, Jerome N, George Reeves, Franklin L, and 5 daughters, Julia A, Celia Ann, Mary S, Caroline and Jane, who died at the age of 3 months.
Caroline was buried in a plot of land set aside by her husband James, according to the following excerpt, as referenced in his will:
"I give and devise to my grand-son Septimius S.Galloway, son of George R. Galloway, the farm on which I now live containing about ninety-seven (97) acres of land, exclusive of railroad lands and lands appropriated by the State for canal purposes, expecting and reserving from the said farm a plot of land seventy-five(75) feet in width, the west line of which is seventy-five feet in length and parallel to and twenty (20) feet west of the west face of the base of the monument now in place on said plot, and the north and south lines of which extend easterly from the extremities of said westline parallel to and equi-distant from the north and south faces of the base of the monument respectively to east line of said farm; said plot being the piece or parcel of land on which I have built a family tomb or vault. I give and bequeath to Septimius S. Galloway the sum of four-hundred dollars ($400.00) in trust to keep the same safely and productively invested and to apply the income thereof, or so much of said income as may be necessary,from time to time to the care of the plot of ground upon which stand the monument and family tomb or vault afore said and to the care,reparation and maintenance of the structures thereon".
There is some confusion on the middle name for James. One written transcription says James C, another researcher has James G and my research shows James Duane. I do wish there was a marker, perhaps it would clear up the confusion.
