General Notes: Husband - Robert Wallace
He migrated from County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1819.
The first authentic account that we have of this gentleman is that he was a schoolteacher in what is now Juniata County, Pennsylvania, and that he was afterwards admitted to the bar at Huntingdon on the 12th of January, 1826. He had previously been admitted to the Mifflin County bar. He appears to have acquired a good share of the business in court in a short time after his admission in Huntingdon. He married and reared a family in Huntingdon. Some time after 1836 he moved to Clearfield County, where he resided till the time of his death. His wife died there also.
He was a man of small stature, below medium size, of an honest, open countenance, and of a cordial and sincere disposition. He was proud of his social and political standing, and frank and unreserved in the ordinary intercourse of life. He was also a man of some consequence as a politician in the Democratic party. For a while he owned and edited a newspaper, and editors were generally looked upon as leaders. He was appointed prosecuting attorney under Attorney-General George M. Dallas, during the administration of Governor Wolf.
He was born in the barony of Omagh, county Tyrone, Ireland. He emigrated to America in 1819 and, having received a liberal education, engaged in teaching school in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. He subsequently studied law with Hon. Ephraim Banks at Lewistown, and was there admitted to practice in 1824. He then removed to Huntingdon County, but remained there only a short time, moving to Clearfield County in 1825 and remaining there until the following year. Returning again to Huntingdon County, he was there married. He practiced law in Huntingdon, was district attorney of the county, and for a portion of the time edited a newspaper there until 1836. He then removed with his family to Clearfield, where he was engaged in the active practice of the law from 1836 to 1847, when he removed to Hollidaysburg, Blair County. He remained there until 1854, at which time he returned to Clearfield County, and he resided in that county subsequently until his death.
