For all who were interested in the book "The Wallace Family in America by Jaames A. Phelps, published in 1914. The Clan Wallace Socity bought the rights to reprint this little book. Their add ress is Clan Wallace Society, Charles B. Wallace, President, PO Box 900, Dallas , Texas 75221. I hope that is still a good address.. The book list different Wallace families of Colonial times ( but by no means all of them). It also has an official list of the heads of families of the resident in the United States in 1790, I also bought some years ago, 7 vol. of a quarterly magazine called the "Wallace Connections" Some of these contain info such as deeds, land records, vestry records and a lot of it refers to Peter Wallace and the Woods families. I got a number of request from Wallace listers and if you just bare with me , I will get to each request as my time premits. Here is what I have on Peter Wallace from the Book:: " Aboout 1730, a company of Scotch-Irish immigrants were landed at Philadelphia, and after a brief sojourn went out to Lancaster. Amoung them were the brothers Peter and William Wallace, and whos wives were sisters named respectively, Elizabeth and Hannah Woods. Peter Woods, the patriarch of the family, was an enterprising individual, restless and lonquacious, bent on the acquistion 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 thither, Peter Woods placed his family and affairs in charge of his three sons-in-law, and departed with the Lewis family early in 1734, passing southwestward across the Susquehanna, through the country bordering the Potomac and crossing the stream, they went down the Valley east ward to 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 Albemarie county, Va. one of whom remained and raised a crop of corn: the other returning to forward the preprations 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 father south: William next:: and John McDowell, third of thesons -in-law, at Meccham'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 Catherine 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 in September 25 1738.and Samuel , unrecorded and unheard of after he returned to Scotland. All that is known of this entire family comes through Caleb Wallace, whose biographer relates the career of a remarkable citizen and United States Judge, who throughout a busy and strenuous life was ever a leader amon the men of his time: active in shaping the legislation of Birginia , before the Revolution and of Kentucky after her admission as a State in 1792. H e was a graduate of Prineston as was also President Madison, with whom he maintained relations of friendship. He studied for and entered the Presbyterian ministry in which he held a distinguished place util the troublous times preceding the breaking out of war, emancipation from the tyranny of King and Parliamemnt;and the separation of Church and State including entire freedom of conscience. He married firsst, his cousin, Sarah McDowell, born October 10, 1755, who died early in 1776, leaving no issue: and second, in 1779, Rosanna daughter of Captian Isreal Christian, born in 1754, by whom he had nine children, born as follows: Samuel McDowell, April 16,1780, William C, October 16, 1781, who died young, Pricellia C., March 12 1785, Calab baker, May 22, 1787, John, October 13, 1789, Henry, March 24, 1792; William Christian, April 15,1794; Charles, 1794.Charles, September 9.1796And Christian, Nov. 21,1800.
