     JOHN C. GALLOWAY, one of the successful farmers of Graves
county, Kentucky, was born in this county on the 13th of August,
1845, and in the paternal line is of Irish descent.  His
grandfather, John Galloway, was born in Murray county, Tennessee. 
He is a son of Samuel S. and Adaline (Gillerland) Galloway, the
former also a native of Murray county, and the latter of Alabama,
and in their family were the following children: John C.; Mamie, the
wife of Charles Humphreys, a farmer of Graves county; William T.,
also engaged in agricultural pursuits in this county; Thomas L.,
deceased; Nathan L., familiarly known as "Nick," and engaged in
farming in Graves county; Lucy, the wife of Thomas Watkins; and
Alfred B., commonly called "Bud."  All are living on farms in Graves
county.
     John C. Calloway was reared to years of maturity in his native
county, receiving his education in the public schools of the
neighborhood.  He early engaged in farming and tobacco dealing, but
is now devoting his entire time and attention to agricultural
pursuits, owning and operating a fine farm of two hundred and ninety
acres, all of which is well improved, and on which he has excellent
barns and a beautiful home.  He is justly regarded as one of the
leading farmers of his locality.  In his political affiliations he
is a stanch Democrat, and his religious connections are with the
Missionary Baptist church, to which he gives liberally towards its
support, and of which his wife is also a valued member.
     In 1876 was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Galloway and Miss
Nellie Jenkins, the latter of whom was born in Graves county,
Kentucky, July 7, 1854, a daughter of J. L. and Mary (Yandell)
Jenkins.  Her father was born and reared in Owen county, this state,
while her mother's birth occurred in Tennessee.  They took up their
abode in Graves county, near Sedalia, and there Mr. Jenkins passed
away in death in 1872, at the age of fifty-two years.  His widow
still survives and makes her home in Mayfield.  Five children have
been born to Mr. and Mrs. Galloway, namely: Robert F., Addie
(deceased), Vernon, Marshall and Brown.  The family are highly
esteemed in the neighborhood in which they reside, and are kind,
hospitable people, with a wide circle of friends.
