Cousins, The following message was send by Sandi Gorin to the KYRESEARCH list she hosts.

Hi There; I made my donation to Rootsweb, That was my choice.... Ancestor.com wants a $5.00 fee to access their file's, which were donated to them in the first place.. I say Ancestor . com TAKE A LEAP....... Old Pendleton Gen. Society, does a better job, and don't try to make money off the poor little genealogist....... SO Ancester.com can kiss my rosy red.............. Clifford Merck Modesto CA

I am looking for information on John Wallce born abt 1808 (Kentucky) and married 1st Susannah Palmour (July 1, 1827, Hall County Georgia) Married 2nd to Susannah's sister Margeret Palmour, Oct.24, 1854. John and Margeret lived in Sanford District of Dawson County before moving to Burnet Texas. There was a son born to the first marriage, John L. Wallace, born abt 1834, married Elizabeth C. Bond, Nov 25, 1851, in Lumpkin County, Georgia. Interested in names of other siblings or any other info. Thanks. Kay

Concerning Jeanne Scott's posting, I was interested in learning more about the documentation you may have. You list children for Matthew and Elizabeth Alexander Wallace that I have not seen. If one accepts that Matthew was born in 1640 or thereabouts, then I believe your listing of a child named Elizabeth, whom you believe to be born in 1735, would have to be incorrect. This would place Matthew at 95 years of age at Elizabeth's birth. The children I have for Matthew and Elizabeth are: David, Matthew (b. 1672), John, Cathrine, Jane, Ezekial, Dorothy and James. The children I have listed for Matthew (b. 1672) and Sarah Alexander Wallace are: Ann, Joseph, James and Ezekiel. I am descended through James' line. I've seen a lot of different information on the Wallace family and I know that my information probably has a lot of errors. I wish I had acceptable supporting documentation, but I do not. I do have a transcription of the will of James Wallace, son of Matthew Wallace, b. 1672, and a transcription of the will of Jame's son, Joseph. Your mention of the will of Matthew Wallace is exciting. However; if this is Matthew Wallace, b. 1672, then your statement that the will is dated 1761 is confusing. Perhaps my date of death for Matthew Wallace of May 3, 1751 is incorrect. I would love to communicate with you concerning this information. Eric Petty

Well, I'm back Jeff. I've just finished going through all the un-organized papers I have plus what I ascertained sometime back to be solid fact. I must say I'm still confused but maybe not as confused as before. >From the ancester file of the Mormon church I believe it's safe to say that there were two Matthew Wallaces in Dames Quarter area of MD at the same time. One of them moved to Cecil Co., MD. And to confuse matters they used the names Matthew, Richard, James, and John from generation to generation. I have not even tried to find the descendants of "my" Matthew Wallace because I'm still trying to get his ancestors in line. I don't know if this will be any help to you or not. Anyhow, right at the moment this is how things are shaping up for me -- Matthew Wallace b. between 1640/1648 in Raphoe, Donegal, Ireland; d.about 1714 in Manokin, Somerset Co., MD; m. Elizabeth Alexander. (In some records I find that he was married to Sarah Alexander. Was this the second Matthew that went to Cecil Co who was married to a Sarah Alexander?The brothers had married sisters? Or was the Elizabeth Alexander named Sarah Elizabeth or vice- versa?) Source for this Matthew being born in Ireland John Wallis, Sr. 's Will dated July 1685 states, "John Wallis, Sr. will states he is "of Ireland and Manokin River, Somerset Co., and names his nephews John Wallis, Jr., William Stephenson, Matthew Wallace, and James Wallace". The children of Matthew and Elizabeth Wallace, and this list may not be complete or correct, are Joseph, David, Richard, James, Leah, Elizabeth b. about 1735, William, and Thomas. There may have been a second marriage. My interest in this particular family is Elizabeth and from her father's will her birthdate seems to be around 1735, maybe earlier. I do have a copy of "my" Matthew's will taken from Ruth T. Dryden's Will Book of Somerset Co., MD. In his will dated 1761 he leaves to son Joseph dwelling Plantation at Rock Creek He also disinherited William who contested the will. I could maybe make some guesses with the other information I have, but I really don't like to do that. Jeanne Scott I think maybe "my" Matthew may have teen the son of Richard Wallace b. about 1673;d. 1745; m. Grace White. And Richard the son of the Matthew who came over from Ireland. I have lots of information on the Wallace family but nothing that I can tie with certainty with the ones I've mentioned. As I said, I hope this is some help to you.

Hello Fellow Listees, Have gotten not very far with the "Floyd" side of my family. Please check my Family Tree Maker "Homepage" and see if you know any of these persons and what has become of them. http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/w/a/l/Dennis-J-Wallace My father's mother was a Floyd and I am, according to my deceased uncle, somehow related to "Pretty Boy". In any case any help appreciated and anything I have is your's.

Betty- >From what part of the country is F. Calvin Wallace? Henny Carlisle

Hi Listers, Being a newby to the list, I am looking for information about F. Calvin Wallace who married Nancy Taylor Boswell (Bosswell). One of their children was John Edward Boswell Wallace who was born in 1884. If any of you have info about this family, I will certainly appreciate hearing from you. Betty g

Ima, Sounds like you have been mining Chalkley's work. Pure gold isn't it? Your references are to the line of Peter Wallace Jr's son, Samuel, if I recall correctly. I'd very much like to know more about your research and your interest in the Wallace-Patterson connection. My David Wallace line comes from the same area and same time frame. David's (and wife, Margaret whose maiden name is yet unknown) son, John married Elizabeth (Betsy) Patterson. His son, William, married Elizabeth's sister, Mary Patterson. These Pattersons were daughters of William Patterson of Wythe County. I don't know what the connection between this William Patterson and the Pattersons who lived closer to the Lexington area might be, but have a hunch that there may be a link. This William Patterson had about 18 children between his several wifes. I can send a copy of William Patterson's will if you would like.

If Ima Stephens would contact me, I may be able to help on the Bell family also. [email protected]

To Ima Stevens or whoever sent this in. My Wallaces, Campbells and Magills trace to Augusta. Please contact me. Possibly we can help each other. Scarlett [email protected] Thanks
