Since the list seems to be quite active right now, I thought I would post this information that I found in the courthouse in Zanesville Ohio about 14 years ago while researching my Wallace family. I took down the information because I didn't know if there was any relationship with my Wallaces or not. Still don't know of any connection but thought someone on the list might see a connection to their family. There are many blanks as it was very difficult to read. Seems to be in the 1860s. Let me know if anyone makes a connection. Otherwise, this is all the information I have on this family.
