John Gally owned quite an estate on both sides of Hale street including portions of the Bancroft estate, part of the common with the Harris estate and a large
part of the cemetery, to Gally's bridge, and his Giles heirs had most of his estate. A daughter of his was Dorcas widow of Sexton William Hoar and she was one of those who was imprisoned on account of witchcraft, but released after several months confinement there, on account of which her heirs received some indemnity from the State for expenses incurredon that account. Jane Wallis the mother of the deceased was a daughter of Ebenezer and Jane Carrico Wallis of Wallis street. His earliest ancestor
of the Wallis race was Nathaniel from Cornwall, England, and his other ancestors were of Stone, Cressy and other honored Beverly names.
