General Notes: Husband - Robert Wallace

---

He died at the age of seventy-two years, and at the time of his death owned two hundred acres of land.
He and his wife had a family of six children [another source: seven children], four of whom were still living in 1889.

He was born at Irishtown, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. His opportunities for obtaining even a common-school education were very limited, and he commenced life as a farmer, with his hands as his capital. Possessed of an unusually strong will and an industry that was untiring, he became a thrifty and successful farmer. In April, 1828, he removed a farm situated in North Fayette Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, three miles from Raccoon Church. In the latter years of his life he was afflicted with paralysis, which impaired his powers of locomotion and speech to some extent. He was never much of a reader, but his intellect was far above the average in clearness and force. Early in life he became a member of the Presbyterian Church of Lebanon, Allegheny County, and not long after was ordained a ruling elder of that church. Upon his removal to the bounds of Raccoon Church he was chosen to the same office, and he never tired nor lagged in the discharge of its duties, so long as his health enabled him to perform them. His religious duties, whether in the church or in the family, never were neglected. While he was in vigorous health and able to have personal care and control of farming operations, there was one fact for which he was distinguished far and near. The fields not only had careful and thorough tillage, but the fences surrounding them and the passageways into them were kept in perfect repair, so that there never was such a thing as a breachy animal on the farm. In his improvements he never seemed to study the beautiful, but only the convenient, the strong, and the enduring.
