General Notes: Husband - James Wallace

---

Nothing is known of his very early life except that his education was not entirely neglected, and that he had learned the trade of a weaver. It is probable he came over to America with his brother John about 1772-73, but we have no definite knowledge of him until he entered the military service, in the Revolution, as a substitute for John Higgins in the spring of 1777, under a draft made by Virginia, as that colony then claimed that all of southwestern Pennsylvania belonged to her. He was afterward drafted four times for summer campaigns of six months, and always under the authority of Yohogania County, Virginia. Circumstances seem to indicate clearly that his home during his soldiering period was in the same neighborhood in which he lived, and where he died sixty odd years afterward. His application for a pension was filed in 1832, and his examination in open court was very rigid and satisfactory. His services were wholly against the Indians on the Ohio River, and the wild story that he had been one of "Marion's Men" never had a shadow of foundation. Soon after the war he bought a little farm of a hundred acres on the waters of Peters Creek, in what is now the edge of Allegheny County.
He was a peculiar man\emdash thoroughly unprogressive, and seemed to care but little for what was going on in the world around him.
