My line is William Wallace b. 1802 in TN, lived in Lincoln Co, TN m. Mahala Satterfield. A Samuel Wallace (not sure if and how related to William) m Mahala's sister Hannah. William and Mahala had several children, but after Mahala died William remarried to Charlotte Smith and they had several more (including one named after his first wife Mahala). William moved on to Lauderdale Co,. AL, but some of his children stayed in Lincoln Co. and some moved on to TX. The only thing I have to go on in researching William's ancestors is that he is listed as b. in TN, the poss. family name of Samuel (let's face it, every line has a William, maybe 10, LOL) and the family story that he was related to "Bigfoot Wallace" of the TX rangers ( a cousin's g. aunt remembers him visiting when she was little ) Is it poss that my William is from the line of Andrew who m. Margaret Calbreath? the time, family names, and place all fit. William and Mahala's children were: 1) Josiah Preston 2) William, Jr 3) Samuel Marion 4) Thomas Yeatman 5) Mary E. 6) Hannah 7) Sarah 8) Hessey L. 9) Franklin R. Children w/ Charlotte Smith 10) Mahala 11) Sampson Houston 12) Lushion Holden 13) Adie Eugene 14) Ethel 15) Curtis Thanks for any help Susan
