It's been awhile since I've submitted my information, so thought I would try again. I am seeking information about the following WALLACE/WALLIS families. Michael Wallace born in Tenn. married Nancy Goddard on August 12, 141 in Jefferson Co., IL. Solomon Goddard performed the wedding ceremony. Michael and Nancy had two children: Matilada Ann Wallace born 1847 and Elijah Wallace born 1850. I think both children were born in IL. Michael and Nancy also raised their nephew, George Washington Wallace born March 22, 1844 in Spring Garden, IL (Southern Illinois). William Green Wallace/Wallis born in KY married Catherine Goddard on December 17, 1841 in Jefferson Co., IL. They had one child: George Wasington Wallace born March 22, 1844 in Sothern IL. William Green Wallace died or left the family after the child was born in 1844. Catherine died in 1851 in IL. George Washington went to live with Michael and Nancy. I'm not sure of the relationship other than he was their nephew. Were Michael and William Green brothers or were Catherine and Nancy sisters? George Washington Wallace was married three times. His first wife was Mary Ann Quigly. They were married on September 13, 1866 in Jefferson Co., Missouri. Children: Amanda Cornelius Wallace born July 16, 1865 in IL, Mary C. Wallace born 1868, Nellie Wallace born July 16, 1869 in St. Clair, IL. Nellie married James Arnold and she died May 2, 1885. Elizabeth (Lizzie) Belle Wallace born January 30, 1871 in St. Clair, IL. Lizzie married Thomas Moore and she died March 30, 1959. Nancy Belle Wallace born January 30, 1871 (twin of Lizzie) in St. Clair, IL. Nancy married George Willm on January 8, 1893 and she died April 12, 1940. Mary Ann Quigly died October 20, 1875. George Washington Wallace's second wife was my great grandmother. He married Mary S. Dykes (or Darcus) on October 28, 1875 in Jefferson Co., MO. Mary was a the widow of a man named Crayton and she had one son. Mary was born in Debuque, Iowa. Children of George and Mary: William Wallace born August 28, 1879 married Rhoda Foxton, Hattie Francis Wallace born January 8, 1885 married Hamelton Evertt, Green Washington Wallace born August 21, 1887 in Jefferson Co., MO. Charles Edward Wallace known as Ed born Sept. 18, 1881 in Desota, MO. Ed married Nona Emmons and he died Dec. 24, 1936. Mary S. Dykes Wallace died Feb. 8, 1889 in Silica, Jefferson Co., MO. I can not find where she is buried. George was married the third time to Oregon Hamrick. They had no children; however, she raised my grandfather as his own mother died before he turned two years of age. George Washington Wallace died Feb. 22, 1926 in Desota, Missouri. He was a Civil War veteran having served in IL. He is buried in the Mamoth Cemetery in Desota, MO. Green Washington Wallace known as Wash was my grandfather. He married Edna May Boston on July 7, 1912 in Plato, MO. He died Dec. 22, 1955 in Rolla, MO. Linda Mondy 15395 Slab Springs Dr. Licking, Missouri 65542 [email protected]
