Notes:

From the book by Edna Wallace Seivers
"Peter, Jr., was the last born child of Peter, Sr. and Elisabeth WoodsWallace. He came to America from Ireland in 1724 when his widowedmother brought the family along with her four brothers and theirfamilies. The group settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
In 1738 Peter, Jr., married his cousin, Martha Woods. Three of hissiblings also married children of Michael Woods: William Wallacemarried Hannah Woods; Andrew Wallace married Margaret Woods; andSusanna Wallace married William Woods. In 1739 PePeter Jr., and hiswife Martah and Peter Jr's mother, Elisabeth were in Virginia. Theysettled in the part of Augusta County which in 1769 was known asBotetourt County and then in 1788 became Rockbridge Co. Their home wasonly a few miles southwest of what is now known as Lexington. Thename Rockbridge was named for the famed natural bridge.
Adjoining neighbors of Peter, Jr. and Martha were two of her sistersand one brother: Magdalen Woods McDowell-Bordon-Boyer. Sarah WoodsLapsley, and Richard Woods.
This was part of the Great Valley of Virginia, west of the Blue Ridge.Peter Jr's father-in-law and brothers William and Andrew Wallace livedabout 55 miles northeast in an area from the eastern base of theBlueRidge eastword toward Charlottesville.
Deed records from 1750 to 1768 show that Peter Jr. bought over 500acres of land, all near or bordering the James River. He owned 150.5acres on Whistle Creek and later had 315 acres on a branch of BuffaloCree, all coming from the James River. When Peter Jr's descendantscame into East Tennessee, they named the creek on their Anderson Co.farm Buffalo Creek. In 1988 this name stillo shows on road signs,both in Virginia and Tennessee.
The Wallaces and their Woods cousins were Scotch Presbyterians. PeterJr. and Martha helped their relatives, the McDowells, Lapsleys, Woods,found the Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church. Peter Jr's father-in-lawand brothers William and Andrew Wallace had founded the MountainPalisn Presbyterian Church near their homes.
Virginia Court recoreds show that in 1750 a suit was filed for 1738debt in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Records of Possessions, or taxes,were assessed in 1760 and 1765. In 1768 Peter, Jr., was issued a hempcertificate. On one of the property deeds, Peter Jr. is listed asfarmer of Albermarle. In 1768 he was appointed to view a road. Heserved as appraiser for serveral estates and witnessed numerous deeds,wills, and other official papers."

Judy note: This last paragraph indicates his respectable status, hisleadership, and is an indication of wealth.

She was born May 24, 1858 and died December 07,1914 in Anderson Co.TN.
Betty

Betty, I've not kept up to date on the anderson co. line but I didnotice
your John W. Wallace. In the book Tennessee 200 "History of AndersonCo.,
1796-1996 on pg.466 there is a story about J.K.P. Wallace, & more onpg.
467 and on page 469 a story of Rutherford Baxter Wallace. It states
Wallace's g.g. grandfather was John Wallace who came to Anderson Co.,in
1803 having just married a Virginia girl and he fought in the Rev.War. He
would begin a long line of promimnent Wallaces in the county.There are3
picture's and Wallace Crossroads was once Andersonville. I don't evenknow
if this will help you but hope so. Phyllis

In Reply to: Carroll WALLACE -Born 1852 prob. in Tennessee by CharlesKemp of 9507

Dear Charles;

From my own, Mrs. Virgil Keith's, Mrs. Mildred Bailey's and Mrs. RuthLamar Petracek's documented research (we all come out of this family):

Samuel Carroll Wallace son of Joseph Franklin Miller Wallace (aka"Mint" Wallace--see below) and (2nd) wife Eliza Jane Kirkpatrick wasborn in 1854 in Nodaway County, Missouri. He married Jennie MalindaDavis. He died in 1911. Jennie's dates are: 1856-1919. Both are buriedin a cemetery in Clearmont, Nodaway County, MO.

I see you have inquiries about Brice, Pharoah, etc. also.

Brice was born in 1849 Nodaway County, MO d. 1922. Married March 31,1869 to Ona Adkins (1850-1912). He was on the 1880 census in HenryCounty, MO.

Pharoah Wallace was born 1846, either Anderson County, TN or NodawayCounty, TN (there are conflicting reports as to when the family movedand if it did so in stages). He married Rachel Serelda Rutherford andmoved back to Tennessee. He died Octobeber 27, 1935. I'd have to doublecheck my files, but I believe he's buried in the old family cemeterythat's ringed with 3 barbed wire fences (and no gate) and overgrownwith white roses (old Jacobite rose) at the juncture of old Longmireand Wallace properties, east of Clinton, Tennessee. I know Mercelliusis buried there. Mercellius was born in 1861, Nodaway County, MO,returned to Tennessee and married Sarah Loy.

Alexander Wallace was born in 1863,in Nodaway County, MO married RosaEdwards, and in the 1970's descendants of his still lived in and nearMarysville, Nodaway County, MO.

William Wallace was born December 5, 1858, Nodaway County, andreturned to Tennessee. He died September 30, 1926. He was married to(1) Sarah Longmire, November 15, 1877 and then to (2) Arizona Graham.Grahams and Wallaces have earlier marriage connections also inVirginia.

Enoch was born in 1853, Nodaway County, MO, also returned toTennessee. He was married 3x (1) ____Irwin; (2)____ Loy; (3) Parlie(or Pearlie) Sharp. He died February 21, 1918 in the influenzaepidemic.

Joseph Franklin Miller Wallace, nicknamed "Mint" was born inApril,1792 (the year and month the Franklin Mint (now just called thePhiladelphia Mint) opened--for which the people in Ohio, Kentucky andTennessee had lobbied for a long time). Joseph's first wife was AmeliaVirginia Landrum b. 1795, SC, whom he married November 9, 1818 inAnderson County, TN. Amelia was a daughter of Thomas Landrum (b. 1771SC) and Lydia or Lydia Mary Aldridge (b. 1776 SC). Amelia died in 1840in childbirth. There were 9 children by the first marriage. Josephthen married Eliza Jane Kirkpatrick, November 6, 1841, AndersonCounty, TN. She was born September 27, 1819 in Anderson County, TN.I'm pretty sure I have the name of at least Eliza's father, but I'mgoing to have to dig through a thick file for it. Joseph died in 1871in Nodaway County, Missouri and is buried at the old Lamar Cemetery(more correctly called Lamar-Wallace), there, near what used to be thevillage town of Lamar Junction (aka "Possum Walk") (just a few strayhouses and ruins of a couple of house and buildings, now).

Joseph was the third son of John Wallace b. 1748 in Augusta (nowRockbridge) County, VA and wife (1) Jane Miller. John Wallace died onApril 8, 1832 in Hendrick County, Indiana, where he had settled withhis second wife Rebecca Norton and his younggest children. He was aRevolutionary War veteran (an officer--Ensign, which is now 2ndLieut.), had served in the frontier militia and the Continental Army,was at Yorktown. He is buried in the old Walnut Grove (aka Snoddy)Cemetery. He married Jane Miller May 11, 1780 in Greenbrier County, VA(now WVA)--marriage performed by Rev. John Alderson. Jane was struckby lightning and killed by it in the late spring of 1819 in AndersonCounty, TN, and John married Rebecca September 7, 1821 in AndersonCounty. There is some evidence (not fully proved yet) that Jane Millerwas the youngest daughter of a John Miller (there were at least 3 thatwere contemporary) and his wife Jane Delaney. We're still trying tofind wills for all the possible John Millers, or other evidence thatabsolutely proves her parentage.

John Wallace was the 3rd son of Peter Wallace and Martha Woods--afirst cousin of Peter's. Peter was born in the disputed border area ofPennsylvania and Maryland, probably actually Cecil County, MD in 1717.He was the youngest son (or child) of _SSamuel_ Wallace and ElizabethWoods. _There is absolutely _no_ Peter Wallace Sr. in this direct linedown through Peter Wallace and Elizabeth Woods! The George SeldenWallace book and McAfee Woods Memorial books are dead wrong. Theydidn't check this out thoroughly enough and didn't understand,research and appreciate the lawsuit records in Augusta County or thenaming tradition used by this family and nearly 90% of all Scots,Welsh, Scots-Irish and English families at this time. Also the birthyear of 1719 is wrong. Crown laws and church traditions for all majorchurches required both parties to be at least 21 when married. It wasa 50 pound bond refundable under normal circumstances to marry, and a100 pound _fine_ (darned near a year's average income) andnullification and loss of clerical license for marriages with underageparties. This was not cheap--therefore there were very few violationsof the law. Peter Wallace and Martha Woods were married in 1739 inCecil County, Maryland. Peter died and left a will in RockbridgeCounty, VA in 1784. John was the principal executor, as the onlysurviving and healthy son after the Revolution. (His oldest brother,_Samuel_ had been wounded and died in 1785.)

There has long been a tradition that Samuel Wallace (so often wronglynamed Peter Sr.), Peter's father had either died at sea or just afterhis last trip bringing the family to America, which was just afterPeter was born. There are records of one Samuel Wallace who isprobably (not yet fully proved) the father of Peter and his oldersiblings. This Samuel was an owner of one or more ships and a merchantwho transported people and goods both ways between Newcastle,Charleston and Glasgow, annd Northern Ireland. There are severalrecords of voyages in which he was on various ships (one at least 3times, though) and going back and forth between about 1710 and 1725.His last recorded voyage is about 1725. He was listed as havingbrought an unnamed wife and unnamed children on a voyage, in I thinkit was, 1720 (I'd have to double check my thick files again.) This isconsistent with a very large number of family tradition stories goingback to the late 1700's. Thus this merchant is probably--but notabsolutely certainly--the father of Peter Wallace and several oldersiblings. Note: according to Scottish records, most Wallace familymerchants from Glasgow were descendants of younger sons of the Earlsof Craigie and the cadet hououses of Ellerslie, Cairnhill, etc..--whichis how they had the money to go into the mercantile businesses and hadconnections to make it generally a success. There are Wallacedescendants now in the Netherlands whose ancestry has been there forover 300 years because of this family tradition. This is probably why,Adam Wallace, an older brother of Peter went to sea under AdmiralVernon and died at the siege of Cartagena (Colombia) in 1738. His willis in Lancaster County, PA--but the index was found in Cecil County,MD. (This was part of the famous Mason-Dixon border dispute, provokedby the Penn family.)

Finally, Martha Woods was a daughter of _Samuel Woods_ (notMichael--as per Augusta County, VA records) and Elizabeth Campbell(sister of Michael Woods' wife, Mary) as per James Campbell, 3rd Baronof Auchinbreck's 1752 will and Augusta County records. Michael Woodsand Samuel Woods were brothers to each other and to Elizabeth Woods,Peter Wallace's mother. Mary and Elizabeth were sisters to each otherand sisters to James, William, Gilbert and Alexander Campbell who allemigrated and eventually settled in Augusta and Albemarle Counties, VAon both the Borden and Beverly Grants (and had received a few in theirown names from the Earl of Gooch, then Governor of Virginia). Theywere also sisters to Susannah who married a Stuart and of the Stuartline that also settled in the same area.

Michael, Samuel, James, William, Andrew, etc. Woods were the childrenof Sir John Woods and his wife--and cousin--Elizabeth Woods. ElizabethWoods was the oldest (possibly only) daughter--there were no sons--ofSir Thomas Woods and his wife, Elizabeth Parsons, who ownedDunshaughlin Castle (spoils of Cromwell's campaign in which Thomas andother Woods served). Elizabeth Woods was the heiress of Dunshaughlinand brought it to her husband--and cousin--to keep valuable propertyin the family. There were at least two other contemporary John Woods,and a John Woods about one generation later.

One contemporary John Woods was an innkeeper (owner) of an inn inDunshaughlin and a small farm. This appears to be the one who was thefather of the John Woods who married Elizabeth Worsop. That John Woods(who married Elizabeth Worsop) married afafter 1695. He and ElizabethWorsop had _NO_ children--as proved by their own two wills in Ireland.Her father's will and a later letter from her brother in Irishrecords, prove she was an unmarried young girl in the early 1690's.She and her husband ended up leaving their property to a nephew by oneof his sisters, who ended up changing his surname to Woods to inherit.

Another John Woods married an Anne Bedlow and had children at Rossmeadin Westmeath. This is apparently a cousin of our John, probably theson of a brother of John's father. There were at least 4 recordedWoods in Cromwell's campaign, closely related as they were all fromnear Halifax in Yorkshire. They all acquired lands in Ireland fortheir services. Our John had Dunshaughlin, Winter Lodge (both inMeath) and the descendants of his oldest son, acquired Milverton Hallat Skerries, on the coaoast between Dublin and Drogheda. Descendantslive there to this day. Dunshaughlin Castle is now a ruin. It washeavily damaged in the late 1800's and early 1900's. DunshaughlinCastle, County Meath, is identified as the birth place of MichaelWoods, his brothers and sisters, and some of their children, in atleast 4 Bible records set down by Michael's and his siblings children.Therefore this is consistent with the McClenaghan compilation andtranscription (he was Parish rector in the very early 1900's forDunshaughlin Parish) of original parish and family records that theWoods siblings who settled in Virginia in the 1730's and early 1740'swere the children of Sir John Woods and Elizabeth Woods-Woods ofDunshaughlin Castle.

Please feel free to forward this as often as you would like. There arefar too many Wallaces and Woods Wallaces who are uploading to FamilyTree Maker and the forums the same two large bits of very erroneousinformation on the early Wallaces and Woods. The result is that thecirculation of these errors keeps growing, and too few people aredoing any serious research any further on these lines. It's getting tobe as bad as the old myth that the Christopher Columbus who discoveredAmerica was the poor illiterate son of Genoese, Italian weaver, whenall the records and serious research say he was a Catalan Spaniardfrom Barcelona--the wrong side of the blanket of a noble family with amercantile sideline.
