General Notes: Husband - Samuel Wallace


He was reared on a farm in the beautiful valley of the Braid, in County Antrim, Ireland. The two younger brothers of this family, Samuel and Robert, had been preparing to come to America for some years, and just as soon as the British Government issued an order opening communication with the United States, they embarked for Baltimore with their wives and widowed mother. When they landed in 1783 their brother John met them with a led horse for his aged mother, leaving the younger people to come on over the mountains at their leisure. They all reached the residence of John on Peters Creek in western Pennsylvania in safety, and the two younger brothers settled at a locality that became known as Irishtown, although there was no town there; they remained there several years and the four brothers were then in the same neighborhood. Irishtown was in bounds of Bethel Presbyterian Church in what is now Allegheny County. In 1799 Samuel bought a farm on Street's Run, not far from Pittsburgh, to which he added some small tracts afterward. He was an industrious and thrifty farmer. He was a man of deep religious feeling and worshipped at Lebanon Presbyterian Church, where he was buried. He was, perhaps, a little below the average size, of light complexion and light hair and light blue eyes.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Barton


She was probably a daughter of William Barton, of Skerry, in County Antrim, Ireland.

She was of a larger feminine mold and darker complexion, with strong features and evidently a strong will. She claimed that she was a lineal descendant of the Great Scottish reformer, John Knox.
