Notes:

Hi Bonnie,

I think that this may be the same family. I have been working on the
same line, but from the Virginia side. I am working off of researchdone several decades ago by my family out in Virginia. Thatinformation shows a line from Peter Wallace, Sr. to Sidney GregoryWallace (my greatgrandfather). The line I have looks more or less likethis:

1) Peter Wallace, Sr. m. Elizabeth Woods
2) Peter Wallace, Jr. m. Martha Woods (a cousin)
3) John Wallace m. Jane Miller
4) James Wallace m. Elizabeth Leach
5) Sterling Leach Wallace m. Mary Jones
6) Sterling James Wallace m. Ida Caroline Kennedy
7) Sidney Gregory Wallace m. Amarette James Pruden

I have been using the internet to try to flesh out this information.All references to John Wallace that I have found state that he wasborn in Rockbridge Co. (Augusta Co.), Virginia; that he married JaneMiller in Greenbriar, Virginia; that she died in Anderson Co.,Tennessee; and that he died later in Stillville, Indiana. I have alsofound reference to James Wallace being born in Greenbriar, Va. I don'tknow how accurate these internet sources are though.
However, I did find transcriptions for an Irwin or Wallace cemetery inAnderson Co., TN. Included were the following:
Elizabeth Wallace born 1807, died 11-20-1884
James Wallace born 1800, died 6-13-1877 "son of John and Jane Wallace"

I am looking for any information regarding the children of James andElizabeth and any information about her family.

Good luck,
Beth

From: "Robert Wallace"

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.

http://www.multimap.com/

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.

Bob
