Judy,
My first cousin once removed (dad's 1st cousin), Edna Wallace Seivers,
researched our line back to Peter Wallace and published it with
documentation after John she only elaborated on our direct line, butprior
to John she delved a little into the children of each child. I have acopy
of her book am would be more than happy to share whatever I have.
Although I have seen no direct evidence, the best educated guess isthat
Samuel Wallace and Beatrix Crawford were Peter Wallace's parents. Fromthe
internet I've surmised that Samuel's parent's were Robert Wallace andJanet
Wallace and that Janet and Robert were very distant cousins. It'sdifficult
to piece together the truth since everyone seems to have their ownideas on
who the parents of whom were.
I've been studying the geography of Ayrshire Scotland and discoveredthat
the Holmstone referred to in Wallace gedcoms was probably modern-day
Holmston which is only a couple of miles east of Ayr. The Craigiereferred
to is across the river from Holmston.

is a great map site for Ayrshire locals and streets, and for Ayrshirein
general with tons of links this is a great site:

This stuff is so addicting I could spend all my waking hours at it. Mywife
however finds plenty around the house for me to spend my retirementworking
on.
Have fun.
