The Galloway Family Reunion began in 1975 with only a few in attendance. The first meeting was held in Greenville, Mississippi, at the home of Audren Harma and Joe Dyer Galloway Garner. From that small beginning, we have grown tremendously. According to our records, Patrick Caldwell and Sarah Elizabeth have over 500 descendants. There are uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and all sorts of cousins located all over these United States and further. Family members reside in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin as well as Sardinia, an island that is part of Italy. We met every year since that first meeting in Greenville, Mississippi until we decided in July 2007 to hold the Reunion every other year. In 2009 we decided to go back to yearly reunions. We met in the Swan Lake Community Center Building at Swan Lake, Arkansas for several years, and then moved to other locations in Pine Bluff, Arkansas - a Paper Mill, a Church and a Park. When Louie A. Galloway, Jr. (our President at the time) moved to Springdale, Arkansas, we changed our Annual Meetings to the Fayetteville and Springdale areas. For our 2010 Reunion, we will be staying at the Fairfield Inn in Fayetteville beginning Thursday evening July 8th, with our Reunion Meeting all day Saturday, July 10th (9.a.m.-6 p.m.) in the Generations Room at the Jones Family Center in Springdale. We always have a great time shopping for anything and everything, eating good food, enjoying great fellowship and reminiscing with family members. Of course, everyone knows that the Galloway’s are well known as connoisseurs of good food – both preparing and eating. Please check out the entire web site on your Galloway family roots.
