Your index shows Matilda Galloway, wife of Covey, died in
the year 1831 and is buried in Crawford Cemetery, Adams County. She is in
the 1850 census with Covey and children. Local history of Adams County
about the Morningstars states that Covey Galloway married Mary Ann Morningstar
in 1857 after his wife died.
Could
the gravestone have been transcribed incorrectly? Is the 3 in 1831 really
a 5? is the year 1 a 7? At least 1851 makes more sense in view of the
census and the births of children in the 1840s. Thank you.Marilyn Stanton
