Was born in Pennsylvania, September 18, 1818.  Here he followed farming and 
boat-building until 1842, when he went to Illinois.  After spending two years 
there he returned to Pennsylvania, where he resumed his former business until 
1852, at which time he came to California via New Orleans and Panama.  We find 
him at once in the mines, where he remained until 1868.  He then made a trip 
East and traveled in several of the different States for about two years, but 
finally settled in Napa City, Napa County.  Here he resided until 1874, when he 
moved to Pope Valley, where he resided until December, 1878, when he moved to 
Lake County and settled on his present place, consisting of three thousand 
acres, located in Coyote Valley.  Here he is engaged in farming and stock 
raising.  Mr. Gallatin married, October 18, 1870, Mrs. Slonecker, a native of 
Pennsylvania.
