Note*

From John of Ireland database: Rebecca Galbraith (Robert, John, James, John), born in 1742 in Donegal ltownship, Lancaster Co., Pa.; died about 1780, in Middleton township,Cumberland county; married June 26, 1765, Ephraim Blaine, born May 26,1741, in the North of Ireland; died Feb. 16,1804, in Middleton township,Cumberland Co., Pa., son of James and Elizabeth Blaine. The elder Blaine,born of Scotch ancestry came with his family from the North of Ireland,in the vicinity of Londonderry, to America prior to 1745, and settled in Toboyne township, Cumberland county. He took up a large tract of land on the south side of the Juniata river, as did each of his children a few years later. He became an influential man on the then frontiers of the Province, and was quite prominent in affairs during the French and Indian wars, as well as toward the close of his life in the struggle for independence. He died at his residence in Toboyne township in July 1792,well advanced in years, leaving a wife, Elizabeth, and nine children. The eldest of these was Ephraim, who received a classical education at the school of Rev. Dr. Alison, in Chester county, Pa., and was recommended byhim for an ensigncy in the Provincial service as being 'a gentleman ofgood family.' He was appointed commissary sergeant, and during the Bouquet expedition to the westward, in 1763, was connected with the 2d Provincial Regiment. From 1771 to 1773 he served as sheriff of Cumberland county. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary struggle he entered early into the contest and assisted in raising a battalion of Associators, ofwhich he was commissioned lieutenant colonel, holding the position until he was appointed by the Supreme Executive Council as county lieutenant ofCumberland, April 5, 1777. This office he resigned in August following,when he entered the commissary department of the Continental establishment. He was commissioned commissary general of purchases Feb.19, 1778, a position he held over three years, including one of the most trying periods of the war-the cantonment at Valley Forge. He was a man of large fortune and recourse, so that, during the long and severe winter,with the aid of personal friends, he made an advance of $6,000,000, for use of the patriot army. Millions of dollars passed through his hands without suspicion of his personal sacrifices, however, Colonel Blaine'se state became impaired, although his fortune remained ample. While in the service he enjoyed the confidence of Washington and his fellow officers.It was at his home that the first president remained during his week's stay at Carlisle during the so-called Whiskey Insurrection of 1794.Subsequently Colonel Blaine retired to his farm in Middleton township,Cumberland Co., Pa., where he closed his eminently patriotic and honorable career in his sixty-third year. He was twice married-his secondwife being Sarah E. Duncan, widow of John Duncan, of Carlisle, and daughter of Col. Samuel Postlethwaite, and they had one son, Ephraim,d.s.p. By his first wife, Rebecca Galbraith, there was issue, six children, of whom we have only the following (surname Blaine): James(grandfather of James G. Blaine), died 1832, married first Jean ________,and secondly Margaret Lyon; Robert, died January, 1826, married Anna Susanna Metzgar, and they had issue (surname Blaine), Rebecca, married Rev. Jeremiah Chamberlain, D.D., and Anna Susanna, married Samuel Alexander; Ephraim Metzgar; Eleanor, born 1789, died Jan. 9, 1839,married first Dr. Levi Wheaton, born Sept. 6, 1796, died Sept. 24, 1824,and had issue (surname Wheaton), Ellen Blaine, d.s.p., Mary Blaine,d.s.p., and she married secondly John Hays, born 1794, died April 29,1854, and had issue (surname Hays), Robert, d.s.p., John, married Jenny Smead, and Mary Blaine, married Richard Mulligan; Mary; James, d.s.p.;David, who died in December, 1804, married Isabella Hill, and had issue,among others (surname Blaine): (1) Robert, who married and had John,David and William, and (2) Ephraim.¹
