Dr. William M. McGalliard of Burke County,
North Carolina, was born in February 1838, to William and Jane
McGalliard. He attended medical school in New Orleans, La. from
1860-1861. After enlisting as a private in June 1861 in the Eighth
Louisiana Infantry, McGalliard reached the rank of Lieutenant in Company
E of the regiment. At the Battle of Gettysburg, McGalliard lost his
right leg and was taken as a prisoner of war by the Union forces for
over a year until his exchange in 1864. He finished the conflict in the
medical department in Richmond, Virginia.
McGalliard returned to New Orleans after the war and completed his
medical education in 1866. He began his practice in Tensas
Parish, and then moved in 1870 to Donaldsonville, La., where he became a
prominent member of the community. In addition to his medical practice,
McGalliard
served as the president of the school board, the director of the
Donaldsonville Bridge Company and the Vice President of both the
Donaldsonville Bank and the local Ice Company. He was also a member of
the Army of Northern Virginia and the Knights of Honor.
Dr. McGalliard married Maria Garrett, originally of South Carolina, ca.
1874. They had five daughters: Alberta Lee, Jennie Erwin, Lizzie Wilson,
Mittie, and Eunice. He died ca. 1921.
…
Fred Meyer (the man overseeing White Castle Plantation for McGalliard)
sent frequent updates on the property and his workers.
