I am not sure if I ever got back with you. If not I apologize. My Agnes Neilson was b. 1749 in Bathgate, West Lothian-I think. She was m. 1774 in Inch to Thomas Wallace b. 1746 in New Luce. Their son Alexander was b. 1776 in New Luce-don't know who he was m. to. I believe his younger bro was Robert Wallace who was a Dr of Divinity graduated from U of Edinburgh & was pastor for many yrs at St Michael's Church in Dumfries. Alexander's son Thomas b. 1811 New Luce was m. to Jane Wield. don't know any of his siblings but he started a business in Dumfries. His son Alexander b. 1844 in Newton-Stewart took over the business but became deaf. In 1887 Alexander immigrated to US with wife & grown children. The connection to Old Luce goes back before 1746. Does any of this make any connection with you? Bonnie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
