About this person

Alongside his partner Thomas Ringgold, Galloway became one of Maryland's most prolific slave traders, responsible for contracting the ship that brought one of the last shipments of slaves from Angola to Maryland during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. From his plantation Tulip Hill, Galloway was also a prominent member of Maryland's horse racing gentry, where he was an early member of the Maryland Jockey Club and known for owning Selim, one of the foundation sires of Thoroughbred racehorses in the United States.
