    3. My Wallace ancestors came from Perthshire, Scotland and settled in Hopewell Twp, York Co. PA around 1734. Have info to share and always need more. Here is a sample Alexander (1699-1767) married Agnes Campbell; both born in Scotland Wilbur Wallace. Christiana Wallace, married William Wilson. Margaret Wallace, married Archibald Thompson. Elizabeth Wallace, married Thomas Grove. Ebrium Wallace, married Janet McCullough. Sarah Wallace, married Andrew Proudfit. 1. James W Wallace, (1722-1777); married Janet Hamilton. Jean Wallace, (1731-1811); married (1) Guian (Gavin) Allison 1755; married (2) Samuel Martin in 1785. 1. Children of James W Wallace (b 1722) and Janet Hamilton are: 2.1 Alexander Wallace, born 1766; married Ann Collins 2.2 David Wallace, born 1768; married Mary Manifold Elizabeth Wallace, born March 30, 1774 2.1 Children of Alexander Wallace (b 1766) and Ann Collins are: 3. James Wallace, born October 26, 1788, married Catherine Gemmill Janet Wallace, born May 21, 1791 William Wallace, born October 29, 1792 Alexander Wallace, born September 04, 1796 Andrew Wallace, born March 28, 1799; married Margaret Gemmill Ann Wallace, born December 02, 1801. 3. Children of James Wallace (b 1788) and Catherine Gemmill Robert G Wallace, born 1817, married Agnes Gemmill William Wallace, born 1822, married Jeanette Gemmill James W Wallace, born 1825, married Jane Cross John T Wallace, born 1826, married Millie Ann Gibson 2.2 Children of David Wallace (b 1768) and Mary Manifold Janet Wallace, born 1795 Ellenore Wallace, born 1796 Eliza Wallace, born 1798 Joseph Wallace, born 1800 James Wallace, born 1801 James (b 1801) son of David and Mary was a minister in the Presbyterian Church. In 1832 he was called to preach in Logan Co, Ohio from the Carolinas. He married Jane Pollock of Washington Co, PA in 1833. They had 5 children but I only know the names of two: William P Wallace, the eldest was killed at Knoxville, TN during the war and David G Wallace (b 1839) became a farmer in Logan Co, Ohio. I have no more info on this branch but mentioned it because they migrated outside of York Co, PA. Others probably moved also, but I have no info on them. I am a direct descendant of James W (born 1825) and Jane Cross. Jane died during childbirth of my great-grandfather, James Gemmill Wallace who was born in 1851. James W married again to Abby Jordon. James W. was a doctor but died young in 1855. Abby died in 1859 which left James G to be raised by two aunts. James G. married Rebecca Elizabeth Murphy. They had 6 children and lived in York, PA. One son, George Murphy Wallace married Gertrude Lydia Hibner (my grandparents). They had 12 children. I'll be glad to go into more detail with anyone who has a connection. I tried to stay with just the Wallace surnames but I do have some descendant info on the female side. Also there are several sets of twins in the family in case that "rings any bells".
