Lewis Wallace married a Helen Morse in Marblehead we think. but can't find any record he died in 1862 at sea. presumably in the war. He was either a merchantman or a whaler my ggrandfather was born after he left so he never saw his father. He was probably born 1820's to 1835 any info gratefully received. -- BByam5 >>
