> >> I am searching for information on a William Green Wallace born in Kentucky. >>He may have had a brother or cousin named Michael. William moved to Illinois sometime before 1841. His last name on his wedding certificate is spelled Wallis. >> William was married in Illinois in Dec. of 1841 to a Catherine Goddard. Micael was also married in Illinois in Aug. of 1841 to a Nancy Goddard. I believe Catherine and Nancy to be sisters or cousins, perhaps they were related to a Solomon Goddard, as he is the one who performed these marriages. >> William and Catherine had a son named George Washington Wallace/Wallis born in 1844. William died or left the family around 1846-47. Catherine died soon after, and George was raised by his Aunt Nancy and Uncle Michael. >> Any information on the Wallace/Wallis family of KY and IL will be greatly appreciated. >> >>Linda >>
