- His papers are at the MHS. This is the couple which built Tulip Hill. He and his wife were birthright Friends, and first cousins (a marriage frowned upon by Friends).
See the "Samuel and John Galloway papers, 1739-1812" at the New York Public Library. Collection Description: "Selected correspondence available on microfilm; New York Public Library. Samuel and John Galloway were merchants of Annapolis and Chestertown, Maryland. Collection consists of mercantile and family correspondence, and accounts of Samuel and John Galloway relating to trade in Negro slaves, tobacco, flour, horses, and general merchandise. Also, John Galloway's account book, 1777-1780. Correspondents include Robert Morris, Thomas Ringgold, Edward Tilghman, James Tilghman, and Tench Tilghman." This is clearly the same Samuel (dates are 1720-1785); I assume that John ("fl. 1775-1783") would be his son.
Also see this collection at the Library of Congress: "Galloway-Maxcy-Markoe family papers, 1654-1888 (bulk 1750-1860)." Here is the collection description:
