When they came here it was spelled the way it is pronounced in Ireland which is Gallaher/Gollaher/Golliher, etc. The g is not pronounced in Ireland. Over here, when we see it spelled Gallagher, we pronounce it with a hard g which is really sort of incorrect, but it stuck. My husband's gggrandfather was Benjamin Austin Gollaher, well known for having saved Abraham Lincoln's life when they were boys. I've written 8 or 9 blogs about him. His name was rarely ever spelled "Gallagher" in any records I've found.Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.com
