With regard to the wife, Francis Catherine REESE, I don't locate her at all or Rebecca SWAIN. For a large number of years, Wesley/West WALLACE was married to a Mattie Catherine or C. TAYLOR not REESE. It may be these or at least one of these marriages occurred much later in life. Don't really know. Here are the records I found for you to come to your own conclusions: 1900 Whitley Co., KY Mountain Ash Prec. Dwelling 113-114 WALLACE, Albert, head, b. 3-1869, 31, mar. 10 yrs; b. KY; parents b. TN - coal miner . .Mary J., wife, b. Dec. 1872, 27, mar. 10 yrs, 4 born; 4 living, b. OH; father b. KY; mother b. OH . .Wesley, son, b. Oct 1890, 9, b. KY * * . .Luther R.?, (microfilm says a daughter), b. Sept 1893, 6, b. KY . .Lilly M., dau, b. Mar 1896, 3, b. KY . .Francis, son, b. Jul 1898, l, b. KY 1920 Whitley Co., KY - Wofford Prec. Dwelling 34-35 WALLACE, Wesley L., 29, b. KY; father b. KY; mother b. OH - rents - coal mine laborer . .Mattie C., wife, 23, b. KY; father b. KY; mother b. TN . .Annie M., dau, 7, b.

KY . .James M., son, 2 yrs one month (per KBI b. 7-2-1928 in Harlan ; middle name was Marion) Here is another birth which may be this Mattie TAYLOR and perhaps the child died early. Catharine TAYLOR had Gloria WALLACE in Harlan Co. on 4-27-1924. From the 1900 Whitley Co. at Rockhold Prec., this "might" be the same Mattie TAYLOR. Dwelling 159-159 TAYLOR, Henry, head, b.
