Nancy, Thank you so much for your response. However, I don't think this is our Wallace, although the geography is the same. Our info shows John Wallace came from Glasgow prior to 1750 with his brothers Robert Henry Wallace, William Wallace, and James Wallace. John traveled around Pennsylvania and finally settled in area around Fredericksburg, VA. His first wife was Mary Hyatt and his second wife was NAncy MAtilda de Saussure of Charleston. Their son, John Wallace (Rev. John) was born in 1754 in Fredericksburg and he served in the Rev.War. After the War, Rev. John led an extended family group of Wallace and Horrals etc. from N. Carolina to area around WAshington, IN, which he helped to found. He started the Bethel Methodist Church, still active in Washington, IN. He was the first Methodist Circuit Rider in S. Indiana.

Thanks again for your info. If you know any one from this branch of the Wallace family, I'd like to be in touch with them.

Jim Wallace
