It would appear that most Golladay's in the South were in favor of keeping the Union.. In Mississippi, even though Robert H. Golladay was a Democrat, he was affiliated with unionists in the early 1850's. In Tennessee, Edward Isaac Golladay was elected as a presidential elector for the Union party in 1860. In Augusta County, Virginia, Jonathan Golladay was one of the names listed on a petition signed by a number of prominent citizens in an effort to mobilize in the South in order to save the Union after the election of Abraham Lincoln. However, once the battle lines were drawn in 1861, the Golladay family in the South fought to defend their homeland.

Golladay's in 1860 Census

The links below show households from the census listings that have at least one Golladay in the household. If a married woman's maiden name was Golladay, an effort has been made to include her household as well.

In the future, the goal for this site is to be able to allow you  to select a person in the 1860 census and then click “Go to 1870” to the right of each name. This will direct you to the location and census information of that person after the war had ended. This feature is only in the early stages of development.
