General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Culbertson Wallace

---

He was the first resident physician in Erie County, Pennsylvania, and was the only one until within a short time before his death. He graduated at Philadelphia under Dr. Rush and other celebrated medical men. He was appointed Surgeon in the United States army, and in 1794 accompanied Gen. Wayne in the Indian war. During the war he visited Erie for a short time. Some years later he resigned his position in the army, and after residing in Franklin, Pennsylvania, for three years, came to Erie with his family in 1803. Professionally he was identified with the entire county, in fact, his professional calls often took him far beyond its bounds. In 1806 he was elected the first Burgess of Erie and also held the offices of Justice of the Peace, County Commissioner and Coroner. At the beginning of the war of 1812, he commanded an Erie County regiment, and after the battle on Lake Erie assisted Dr. Parsons, of the navy, in attending the wounded.
