General Notes: Husband - Hugh Wallace

---

The family background is Scotch, where Wallace is the name of the ancient clans of the Scottish Highlands. Many from Scotland settled in northern Ireland, and it was from here that Hugh Wallace was brought as a child to live in Mercer County, Penn-sylvania. Here he spent the long remainder of his life.

He came to America in 1835; moved to Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1871.

He was a lineal descendant of Sir William Wallace, the famous Scottish patriot, while his father was a full cousin of General Lewis Wallace, a distinguished officer in the Union Army during the Civil War and the author of a number of notable books, of which "Ben Hur" is perhaps the best known. Mr. Wallace belongs to a family well known in church history, too, being a cousin of the late Rev. Homer H. Wallace, of New York City; of Dr. Maria White, who has given more than forty years' service under the United Presbyterian Church of North America in the Province of Punjab, India; and of Miss Josephine White, who has also given an equal number of years' service as a missionary at the same place.
