Mary Sarah Greene was the daughter of Allen Green(e) and Sarah Gillespie. She married Presbyterian minister Thomas Gallaher in Washington County, TN, on the 8th or 9th of October of 1787.

Mary and her husband moved from Tennessee to the New Berlin / Island Grove area near Springfield, IL, in Sangamon County, Central Illinois, in 1833. Mary died in 1842 in Sangamon County, IL, and her husband Thomas passed away in early 1843, also in Sangamon County.

One of their daughters, Mary Miller Gallaher Lansden, died a few months after her father, in September 1843. The fallen headstone of this daughter was just located at the very run-down Pisgah Cemetery, in Morgan County, IL, on the grounds of a now-defunct church where her brother, William Greene Gallaher, was the pastor. Three of William's children were later buried there - Thomas, his grandfather's namesake (1838-1852), James, who died in the Civil War (1843-1862), and an infant son, un-named, who lived only three days, year unknown. Thomas Gallaher and Mary Sarah Greene Gallaher are believed to be buried in this cemetery as well.
