Just found your list after looking for Wallaces for the past six months. I am a direct descendant of Alexander Wallace (1699-1767) from Scotland who settled in Hopewell Twp, York Co, PA around 1734. I have quite a bit on the family but I also have some puzzles. Very brief background for my puzzle which follows Alexander (1699-1767) James W. (1743-1777) Alexander (1766-1842) James (1788-1863), m Catherine Gemmill Andrew (1799-1873), m Margaret Gemmill Recently I was sent info that Andrew, b 1799, and Margaret Gemmill Wallace had no children. My branch thought they were the parents of James W Wallace who fathered James Gemmill Wallace who is my great-grandfather. Andrew's brother James and Catherine Gemmill Wallace had a son James W Wallace also. My data and others show James W being born in 1825 and that he was a doctor. The puzzle is that other sources have a death date for James W, son of James in 1851, whereas I have James W, son of Andrew died in 1855. I found James W and his wife Jane Cross (mother of James Gemmill Wallace) on the 1850 census and his occupation was listed as manufacturer, not a doctor. Jane died during childbirth in 1851 and James W married Abbie Jordan. James W. died in 1855 and Abbie died in 1859. James G was supposedly raised by two aunts but I could not find him on the 1860 census. Can anyone shed some light on my dilema so I know whether or not to switch branches on the family tree. James G Wallace as an adult was not highly thought of. He left his wife and family after spending his inheritance on drinking and gambling or so says my uncle, James G's grandson who will be 90 this summer. So there may be a will somewhere but I live in NC - need some help. Thanks - Ann Wallace Palmer
