General Notes: Husband - John Wallace

---

His boyhood was engaged in agricultural and mercantile employments. Among the earliest associations of his childhood, was the preaching of the Gospel by the Rev. Robert Smith, D.D., at the run beside his father's house. When a youth of seventeen, in 1786, he assisted in hauling the stones for the erection of the first edifice for the Cedar Grove Church. Shortly afterwards, under the preaching of Dr. Smith, he embraced the Christian religion, and dedicated himself to the Lord by uniting with the church, in which he lived as a shining light for a period of nearly seventy years. In 1822, he was elected to the office of ruling elder, which position he filled with honor for thirty-two years.
