Zeta, have you seen this, from Ancestor Publishers (on microfilm)? Some Pioneers of Washington Co., PA; A Family History (1670-1899), by F. S. Reader, pub. 1902. This family history is about one of the pioneer families of Washington County, PA. Colonel William Wallace and Elizabeth Hopkins, his wife, who were born, reared and married in Montgomery County, MD and built their home in the wilds of Western Pennsylvania. From this central point, the history of the ancestors and descendants of all the families connected with this couple in the United States is given, as far as possible to secure the facts. Allied names include: Bentley, Greer-Gregg, Smith, Scott, White, Reader, Trumbo and James. I suspect this is the William Wallace that both our relatives are named for. Note that White is in the list of allied names. Also, there appears to be a collection of excerpts from this book up at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ahopkins/pa-book.htm (it seems to be all the excerpts that relate to the name Hopkins), and it includes some Wilsons. Anyway, I'm going to order this microfilm, as it's only $8.00, and see what I can find. The Ancestor Publishers page is at http://www.firstct.com/fv/PA.html -Alma
