Gracie,
In the McMinn Co. Book "Wills & Estate Records of McMinn Co. Tn" , there is
no mention of a Gallaher. There is one record mentioning the Sparks surname
, I don't know if it will help you or not but since your post states that
Almira/Elmira was born in 1822 or about , I am sending the information
anyway:
EDGMAN, Thomas WB F 373, 14, Aug. 1860. Comm. Robert. N. McEwen, Andrew
Hutsell and John Crews set apart year's support for widow and family. A suit
reinstated in 1869 states:
Thos. Edgman died July

Sparks born about 1822. They were married 2 Feb. 1841 In McMinn Co., Tn.
Both would have been living in parent's household in 1840 census of McMinn
Co. . . .
The 1840 Census of McMinn Co., TN might provide some clues . . .
pg. 87 - Isaac Gallaher . . . code 2101001 - 1221001
pg. 136- Thomas Gallaher . code 1200010 - 10001
