DB> Dwight (Wallace) Booth I thought I would post this to the Wallace List because it may be of interest to others . I have a book " The Wallace Family in America" written by James A. Phelps and published in 1914 by William M. Clemens. In this book, it gives an account of a Peter Wallace that is very simular to the family that Dwight Booth speaks of. Dwight, I don't know if this will make any connections for you or not, but here is what I have, as follows; "About 1730, a company of Scotch-Irish immigrants were landed at Philadelphia, and after a brief sojourn went out to Landcaster. Amoung them were the brothers Peter and William Wallace, whose wives were sisters named respectively, Elizabeth and Hannah Woods. "Peter Woods, the patriarch of the family, was an enterprising individual restless and loquacious, bent on the acquisition of an extended domain. He fell in with one John Lewis, who was about to remove his family to a location he had selected for preemption, in the valley of Virginia, west of the Blue Ridge. Determining to accompany him, Peter Woods placed his family and affairs in charge of his three sons-in-laws, and departed with the Lewis family early in 1734, passing southwestward across the Susquehanna, throught the country bordering the Potomac, and crossing stream, they went down the Valley east of the Alleghenies, to the vicinity of what is now Staunton, VA. where Lewis proposed to settle." " Early in the spring of 1735, two of the young men journeyed to Albemarle county, VA, one of whom remained and raised a crop of corn; the other returning to forward the preparations for the transfer of their entire connection to that section---later; and that was accomplished the following spring." " The old people settled on the site selected by the father; Peter Wallace, a little farther south; William next; and John MCdowell, third of the son-in-laws, at Meacham's river: there they lived and reared their children." " The children of Peter and Elizabeth (Woods) Wallace, were: Andrew, Adam, Samuel, and Peter; all of whom are supposed to have been born in Ireland; and little is known of their subsequent history, except,-- that Andrew married Cathrine Parks, and settled near the Allegheny mountains; and that the children of Peter, Jr., were: Joseph, Samuel, Janet, and Rachel; while Samuel married Esther, daughter of Caleb Baker, of Prince Edward county, settling in Charlotte county, where their children were born; removing later to Kentucky." " The children of Samuel and Esther (Baker) Wallace were; Caleb, born 1742, Elizabeth, born in 1745, Andrew, born September 25, 1748, and Samuel, unrecorded and unheard of after he returned to Scotland." The history goes on to tell about the descendants of Caleb Wallace, who did have a son named Samuel, born in 1780. Judge Caleb Wallace died in 1814 in Woodford county Kentucky. Hope this helps.
