The name Galligan comes from the Irish word geal, which means white or bright. (The name Biggins  comes from the Irish word beag, which means little.)

Ancestors of Donald Galligan were early English settlers of Connecticut.

• Richard Goodrich, was a founder of Guilford in 1639. He was one of 25 English colonists who signed the Plantation Covenant of Guilford during their Atlantic crossing.
• Joseph Baldwin, was a founder of Milford in 1639. He was one of 44 English colonists who are on the First List of Planters of Milford.

There are two famous brothers descended from Richard Baldwin III. They are 4th cousins of Daniel Baldwin, born in 1759.
