Elon Galusha (June 18, 1790-January 6, 1856) was a lawyer and Baptist preacher who was active in reform activities of the early 19th century in New York. He was the son of Jonas Galusha, the 6th and 8th governor of Vermont. He also adopted and promoted the teachings of William Miller.
Biography
Elon Galush was born June 18, 1790 in Shaftsbury, VT.[1] His father was Jonas Galusha, the governor of Vermont. Galusha graduated with a B. A. from the University of Vermont in 1816, and an M. A. from Brown University in 1820.[1]
Galusha died January 6, 1856 in Lockport, NY.[2]
Abolitionist Activities

[4] Following His withdrawal from the Baptist denomination, he hosted abolitionist meetings at his church in Lockport. [5]
Millerite Connection

Galusha served as president of the Albany Conference on April 29, 1845, following the Great Disappointment.[7]
