General Notes: Husband - John Wallace

---

He took part in the Revolutionary war, and was present at several important engagements. He married early in life and settled in Washington County, Pennsylvania, but at a later period came to Union township, Lawrence County, and bought land which he left to his sons at his death.

He was born in County Antrim, Ireland, and came to America about 1772-73, and it is probable his next younger brother James was with him. He seems to have landed in Baltimore and to have made his way into western Pennsylvania, through Cumberland County, where he stopped a year or two at Big Cove and then on to Westmoreland County, where he bought a farm at Ligonier, the oldest settlement in the county in 1775. He seems to have had money with him and to have followed the same route as his older brother Ephraim, a few years before, and to have settled near him, and afterward his mother with the two younger brothers, Samuel and Robert, settled in the same neighborhood. He was a thrifty, money-making man, dealing in soldiers' claims and warrants, and never afraid to make investments where lands were good and cheap. He located a number of warrants on Slippery Rock in what is now Butler County, and he purchased a valuable body of land in the Mahoning valley, besides other tracts nearer home, among them the farm which became the property of his son Jacob A. He was not out in the army during the Revolution, but he served in some short enlistments against the Indians. He and his family were members of the Presbyterian Church at Mingo, but his wife always retained her membership with the more rigidly Calvinistic Seceders.
