• Notes

  Per Source: John Wallace, the elder brother, was born in 1732 and lived six miles from Monticello, Virginia. He came from there to Kentucky in the spring of 1783, and stopped at Crab Orchard one year. From there he, with his wife, (whose name was Whorrre marriage), and children went to the north side of the Kentucky river and settled in Jessamine County, about ten miles from Lexington. His wife died there and was buried at Pisgah "Meeting House," In Woodford County. Their family consisted of seven children, viz: Hannah, Rosanna, Polly, John, Patsy, Thomas and Betsy. About the year 1800 he moved from Kentucky to Monroe, Ohio. In 1812, the family, under the leadership of the eldest brother, John, moved to Wayne County, Indiana, where John had entered land in the fall of 1811. The family at that time consisted of the father, two sons, John and Thomas, and one daughter Betsy, all single. The war broke out, and being only two miles from the Indian boundary lines, they were in danger from Indian raids. The first surtsy was sent into the older settlement on what was called the East Fork of Whitewater, and lived in the family of a Mr. Hunt. The father lived until about the year 1820. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and a soldier of the Revolutionary War. The powder horn carried by him through the war is now in the possession of his grandson, John Wallace.
