During the Napoleonic wars (1799-1815) each parish had to supply men for the Militia. The system was that all the eligible men in the parish had their names put in a barrel and the required number were drawn out.
The person whose name was drawn had to appear at the appointed date and time or supply a substitute. There were many 'insurance schemes', where a group would pay a sum of money to a willing volunteer who would serve as the 'substitute' if one of the names was drawn out. As you can see, the actual number required for each parish was quite low.
There are some records relating to the men who served, but with few confirming details. Most just give a name. A few parishes do have the original list that went into the ballot, but to be honest it is difficult to derive any genealogical data. Most of the eligible men were the young unmarried ones and when only the name is given it is difficult to place the family.
Wigtownshire men were mostly under the command of the Earl of Stair.

The following was transcribed from The Dumfries Weekly, Tuesday, January 1, 1799, by Phil Reed. Microfilms of this weekly can only be accessed in person through the Ewart Library.
( Whose names were drawn in the First Ballot to serve as Militiamen for the respective parishes above mentioned, but remained undrawn in the Second,) to appear before the Deputy Lieutenants and Justices of the Peace for this county, within the Courthouse of Wigton, on Wednesday the 9th day of January 1799, at twelve o'clock noon, to take and subscribe the oath of allegiance to his Majesty, and be enrolled to serve in the Militia for this county ; or to provide fit and able persons to serve in their stead, under the penalties contained in the Acts of Parliament made thereanent. And notwithstanding of repeated intimations in the Newspapers and on the Church doors, the persons in the respective parishes after mentioned have still failed to appear, and have not been apprehended nor Substitutes provided in their place, viz.
Whithorn Hugh Paterson, travelling chapman, residing in Whithorn.
Hugh M'Connell, weaver there.
Leswalt James Moffat, labourer.
Kirkmaiden Alex. Galloway, servant in Manse.
Stoneykirk William Camnock, weaver in Mye.
Therefore the Deputy Lieutenants will, time and place foresaid, ballot for others from the original sealed lists, to serve in their stead.By order of the Lieutenancy,
Ja. Fraser, Clerk. Wigton, 24th Dec. 1798.

14. Stewart GALLOWAY
John Bridgeman has him born 1785 (20.6.2004)
Mary, Jean, Christian & John show parents as Stewart Galloway and Janet (Morrison?)
A Stewart Galloway and Janet Thomson is shown on the LDS Family Search as the parents of George Galloway born 13 Jun 1814. Probably the same George who went to S. Wales. It also shows a Mary (b. 8.8.1801), Jean (b. 1.4.1804), Christian (b. 7.10.1810) and John (b. 25.9.1825) also children of a Stewart Galloway and Janet Thomson.
The 1851 Census of Registration District 463 Enumeration District 4, Page 30, Entry 117 showing George Galloway & Agnes (Barclay) has on the pervious page 29 a John Galloway (married to Mary Ann). This could be the brother of George as shown in the LDS details.
Joy has provided a reference from the Mormon page for details and from the 1813 Register of Baptisms it states:
George lawful son of Stewart GALLOWAY and Janet MORISON was born the 26 May and Bapt. 13 June"
Also believes that Stewart was born in 1785.census
This is the only stewart showing on the 1841 census according to ancestry.co.uk

Stewart Galloway 60Interestingly the GORDON family are living next door to Stewart. Is this the same GORDON family that produced Elizabeth GORDON b 1861 and second wife to George - Stewart's son.
Marriage states that Janet was living in the Parish of Falkland at the time of her marriage.
Mary, Jean, Christian & John show parents as Stewart Galloway and Janet (Morison?)
A Stewart Galloway and Janet Thomson is shown on the LDS Family Search as the parents of George Galloway born 13 Jun 1813. Probably the same George who went to S. Wales. It also shows a Mary (b. 8.8.1801), Jean (b. 1.4.1804), Christian (b. 7.10.1810) and John (b. 25.9.1825) also children of a Stewart Galloway and Janet Morison.
It is now believed that the LDS entry of THOMSON is mis-transcribed. The writing (so I have been told) is flowery and could easly be read as Morison (based on other names and letters written on the same page).
The 1851 Census of Registration District 463 Enumeration District 4, Page 30, Entry 117 showing George Galloway & Agnes (Barclay) has on the pervious page 29 a John Galloway (married to Mary Ann). This could be the brother of George as shown in the LDS details.
Consensus now agrees that the name is Morison. If the marriage is correct and in Portmoak then Janet is most likely to be from the area. IGI has 2 two possibilities on their index

This would be odd and I would expect the first child to be Alexander or Margaret. Why? Because husband Steart's parents are also supposed to be Alexander & Margaret.or
