Revercomb and his wife Elizabeth (or Eliza) Ann Jenkins. As of 1860, Galen was growing up on his father's farm in Sperryville, Rappahannock County, Virginia. By 1870, the family had grown, and they lived on a farm in Scott, Fauquier County. Galen's siblings included John L (born around 1851), Caroline H (born around 1852), Virginia (born around 1861), Mary F (born around 1863), and Elnora A (born around 1869). They were enumerated next to the Thomas Sampsell household. On 22 January 1879, in Fauquier County, Galen Revercomb married Georgia (or Georgianna) Elizabeth Woodward, born in 1861 in Fauquier County. Her parents were James Woodward and Virginia Jeffries Woodward. The marriage register lists Galen as a farmer. In the 1880 census, Galen is listed as a "Bar Keeper." It seems likely that he is living on the same property as in the 1870 census, as the Revercombs are again enumerated next to the Thomas Sampsell family. Galen and Georgia Revercomb had six children: Edgar Worth Revercomb (1880-1952) James Herman Revercomb, Sr. (1881-1949) Annie Revercomb Sampsell (1885-1979) Luke Woodward Revercomb (1886-1971) Jacob Randolph Revercomb (1887-1950) Irving Forrest Revercomb (1891-1973) Note: During the 1990s, for unknown reasons, Galen Worth Revercomb's marker was removed from the Woodward Family Cemetery. It ended up eighty miles away, as a feature in a garden behind an old house owned by someone not related to the Woodward and Revercomb families. The homeowner died, and the reason for the stone's removal was lost. Two successive owners purchased the property, moving the stone to a sheltered spot but not knowing how to return a headstone to a grave that was surely unmarked. In 2017, the current owner kindly accepted help from researchers from the Kate Waller Barrett Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The DAR members researched Galen Revercomb's life and analyzed readings of the Woodward Family Cemetery to confirm findings. The chapter financed the stone's transportation, cleaning, repair, and placement at its original location. The Fauquier County Cemetery Foundation, Inc., and the owner of property near the Woodward Family Cemetery, gave crucial help.
