General Notes: Husband - [Father] Wallace


This family had a long line of ancestors in Maryland, who came from Renfrewshire and Ayrshire, Scotland. The first record of the Wallaces in Maryland was of one Matthew Wallace, who was granted a patent in 1694 for a tract of land in Somerset County, called Kirkminster. He had at least three sons, one of whom was attracted by the Scotch colony called "New Scotland," within the limits of the District of Columbia, and settled there. The first mention of James Wallace in this section was August 8, 1710, and he is believed to be the father of James and William Wallace, who founded "Brothers Industry," a plantation of 1,429 acres, in Prince George County, in 1722. This tract lies back of Cabin John bridge, about two miles from where that famous creek enters the Potomac river.
