I am looking for information pertaining to Addie (Cameron) Wallace. She was the daughter of John J. Cameron and Millie (Lyons) Cameron. Addie was born abt. 1874 in MN. I last find her mentioned in her brothers obit as "Mrs. Addie Wallace of Redwood, CA. This was in 1942. Any information would be helpful. Thank you, Dean Cameron

Hi! Bill, As an aside: Seems to me you may be connected with the first lady governor of Texas, i.e., MAW Ferguson, whose husband had been governor before her. I was always told that they were called MAW and Paw Ferguson. Only later did I learn that her MAW stood for Miriam Amanda Wallace, born 13 June 1875 in Texas, the daughter of Joseph Lapsley Wallace, b. 11 July 1833 in Kentucky, and Eliza Garrison, b.1840 in Panola County, east Texas. She was the widow of Wesley Ferguson, and married Joseph Lapsley Wallace 4 July 1869. The Wallace farmland was in Bell County, Texas, and had been settled in about 1845 by Joseph Lapsley's father,Warner Wallace and his wife Miriam McKee Lapsley. Warner Wallace is said to be a great great grandson of the Michael Woods, Sr., b. 1680 in Ireland, and his wife Lady Mary Campbell, who emigrated to America in 1720 with their 8 children and were granted lands in Virginia. This information I CANNOT document. It comes from some pages I have been given of a book on the Fergusons of Texas. My interest is in Eliza Garrison Wallace's mother, Ellender Twomey Garrison. a member of my Twomey family. Hope this helps a little or at least doesn't confuse too much. Cheers, Wallace Smith My Wallace line is a brick wall thus far!

I am searching for info on a SAMUEL G. WALLACE, born Scotland, came to the Perham, Minnesota area. He was an engineer on Canadian railway. Bud and Colleen

Bill, I dont know if you have your infomation yet, but I have this. The Wallace line we are descended from is pretty well documented. They are the Wallace/Woods/Campbell line that came from PA to Augusta VA to Rockbridge (Lexington) VA. Andrew Wallace (b. 1748, d. 1829) and Catharine Parks (no dates) Andrew was the son of Samuel Wallace (B. 1709) and Ester Baker. Samuel and Ester had 4 Children: Caleb 1742 Elizabeth 1745 Samuel Andrew (yours) The parents of Samuel (married to Ester) was Peter Wallace Sr. (b.1680, d. bef. 1724) and Elizabeth Woods (b. 1682, d. 1747) they were married in 1702 in Ireland. The others on the list have much more info than I, but I hope this helps. Richard Beckman This is the first time I have entered a query on Rootsweb-L. I have been reading messages for some time. I am wondering if some of you people who are and have been researching ANDREW WALLACE of ROCKBRIDGE/AUGUSTA CO., VA can provide any help. My gg Grandfather married Sarah Lapsley Wallace December 6, 1820, Rockbridge Co., VA. Her death record is recorded in Rockbridge Co., VA Register of Deaths as February 16, 1853 which shows her parents as Andrew and Catherine Wallace. Can anyone help in identifying Andrew and Catherine Wallace.

Looking for any info on the following Craven Co NC marriages: Solomon Wallace m. Alice Griffin on 6 Dec 1792 Soloman Wallis m. Sally Wallace on 4 Aug 1798 Solomon Wallis m. Esther Phelps on 12 Jul 1806 Also, if anyone has an ancestor who went by Simon or Simeon Wallace / Wallis please contact me. Looking for my ancestor Simeon Wallace (b. abt 1772 in NC?) who married Elizabeth (Unknown Maiden Name) abt 1813, possibly in NC or in Logan Co WV. They settled in Logan Co WV abt 1813 and Simeon died before 1830. His two known sons were Solomon and Hiram Wallace....other possible sons who haven't been proven yet could be Henry and Thomas. Simeon's descendants went on to settle Logan, Mingo and Wyoming counties in WV and Pike, Floyd, and Lawrence counties in Kentucky. Tara Wallace-Maggard

Does anyone have any information on Matthew WALLACE or Sara WALLACE? Sara was born a WALLACE and was the wife of William WALLACE who lived in Blount County, Tennessee. Matthew was supposed to have been Sara's father and was from North Carolina. Also, if you have any information on the Matthew or Mathias WALLACE from Cecil Co.,Maryland, please let me know. I want to see if he ties in with Sara. It is thought that the Matthew from Maryland may have gone to Buncombe Co.,NC. Please give me your wisdom and insight. Thanks. Ima J.

Thanks you so very much Frances Peoples Frances, One of my Berwick relatives, Cecilia Berwick Smith in Texas recently forwarded me some correspondence she had with a Bryan/Berwick/Lyons/Hayes relative in Crowley, Louisiana in the 70s. The name of Helena's father is in their correspondence. I've spoken with him (he is now quite elderly) and have asked him if he would through his documents to see if he has any original source material to document the information. He has spent many years working on the various lines, so I'm hopeful that he'll be able to provide some more leads and hopefully primary documentation. Helena and Thomas are my 4th great grandparents and I really want to find out about where Helena came from. She had to have been a remarkable character. Catharine Vinson [email protected]

OLIVER WALLACE of Deer Park obtained a letter of recommendation from the Ministers, Justices of the Peace and Churchwardens of Aroustraw (Ardstraw?) in County Tyrone in February 1763. On May 21, 1773 he received a passport allowing him and his family "to pass and repass, in, and to Carolina by land and water". His youngest child MCCASLAND was born at sea. Mothers name, as yet, unknown. McCasland Wallace m. CATHERINE STUART. Hedied 30 Mar 1862 Yorkville Co, SC. Other children for this Oliver Wallace: JANIE b. abt 1760 County Tyrone d. after 1847 York Dist SC.married McCULLOUGH In an affidavit she states she came "over to this country from Ireland in the year 1773". THOMAS Wallace b. bef 1773 JOSEPH Wallace b. bef 1773 JAMES Wallace b. bef 1773 WILLIAM Wallace b. 1754 County Tyrone, d. 3 Mar 1800 Rutherford Co. m. RUTH PORTER >From an Apr 7, 1847 affidavit it is evident that all these listed above are siblings. Henny Carlisle

My biggest brick wall: Helena Eleanor Birgitta WALLACE born 14 Aug 1748 Father: A. Dornell WALLACE Mother: LYON/LYONS (given name unknown) Father's birthplace given as Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland in family records but not confirmed with primary documentation. Helena and her parents are reported to have returned to Scotland soon after her birth and then to have arrived in what is now Pensacola, Florida in 1754 (age of four years). I have not found any listing of WALLACE in the Spanish records for this area, and there were few settlers in Pensacola at that time. It was basically a small fort manned by no more than a 100 military types. I did find that a massive hurricane hit the Pensacola area that year, so possibly Helena and her parents (and siblings?) were headed for New Orleans and came ashore in Pensacola as a result of the hurricane. I don't find any Wallace that fits the timeframe in other Spanish records I have checked for the Natchez district. Family records note that Helena married Thomas BERWICK April 14, 1768 (her 20th birthday) in Charleston, South Carolina. But there is no documentation. A petition filed by BERWICK for a land grant in the Natchez District about the time of the wedding states that he's waiting for family to arrive from Charleston, including family members of Helena in his petition. After their marriage, Thomas and Helena were in the Attakapas and Opelousas Districts of Louisiana for the rest of their lives. The only reference I find to any possible family member of Helena is to a Joshua Wallace relating to a land sale between the two men that required Joshua Wallace to build a fairly substantial house on the piece of property with the further restriction that Wallace would have to leave the property at the end of three years if Berwick asked him to. Dornell is an unusual given name; I am assuming it may be his mother's maiden name. I have no clue about what the "A" stands for (and it would be a whole lot easier to identify him if I knew!) Help, suggestions, would be very much welcomed. Helena is my 4th great grandmother; more importantly, she was a fascinating woman and I'd like to learn more about where she came from.

I am sure when I put all the info on the net, it has the line of Oliver Wallace and wife and he is one whose wife was a McNabb. He left a will in CLarke Co., Ga. I wondered if the McNabb in Augusta Co., Va. was the father of the McNabb girl md. Oliver Wallace. I believe you are correct about that he is assoc. with the Wallace-York Co., SC & think the Wallace in York Co., SC might have had an association with a Paul Carrington. That just popped into my head...so perhaps when I find this source, it might help. Did it ring a bell with you? Go into the online Augusta Co., Va. records--especially the Augusta Co., Va. Chalkley's records...as Carrington there too.

Is there anybody out there researching WALLACEs in St Andrew's, Fife, in the 18th & early 19th centuries? Sara

Howdy, Thought I'd try posting this again to see if it sounds familiar to anyone... Ruth WALLACE married ? LEWIS in the 1830s or 1840s. They had Julia Florence LEWIS b.1840s in KY. Julia married James PRYOR in St. Joseph MO on 5 May 1866. I suspect that both families lived around IA, MO or KY but have no proof. I'd love to hear back from anyone that might have a connection. Thanks, Jody
