Bill, Your e-mail certainly opened up lots of possibilities for the Delaware Wallaces. Not living around Delaware it's sometimes hard to imagine how close MD, DE and PA are -- in fact they all come together at one spot. According to the map, Muddy Creek, I assume Chanceford Twp, PA, where a John Wallace owned land in 1751, is only about 40 miles from that point where all three states come together - Cecil Co., MD; Lancaster (previously York) Co., PA, and NewCastle Co, DE. As you said: "John Wallace purchased land in New Munster Tract, Cecil Co., MD in 1714 with Matthew Wallace and Elias Alexander Witnesses." There is much association with the Wallaces and the Alexander's in this area. It is just west of Newark, DE. Connie Stovall's web site: www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/t/o/Connie-R-Stovall/index.html gives her report on the descendants of Matthew Wallace of Cecil Co.,MD who went to TN and NC. It would be nice to know how John Wallace was related. Also am wondering if Mathias might be another way of saying Matthew in those days. Also Lodowich is a great first name to research--haven't heard of too many (e.g. any) Lodowick Wallaces!! Hopefully more people will help us figure all this out. I will try to research the book you mentioned: >>For further information see William Wallace Barton & Jean Wallace Gayle, "Six Wallace Brothers & their Descendants from Chanceford Twp., York Co., PA, in the mid-18th Century" (1996). This book is out of print but can be rented from the Family History Library, microfilm #2055299, item #9)>>> Thanks for the input.

They all settled in Chanceford Twp., York Co., PA, ca. 1747. Daniel settled in nearby Fawn Twp. The names of their parents are unknown but they probably didn't died before 1755. From where the six brothers came is also unknown but circumstantial evidence indicates the New Munster Tract, Cecil Co., MD. Furthermore, the progenitor may have been the JOHN WALLACE who in 1751 owned land in Chanceford Twp. and was listed along with Moses and William Wallace ........ >>
