WALLACE family of Logan Co VA
Posted by: Tara (Wallace) Maggard (ID *****3045) Date: September 03, 2006 at 07:25:38

Here's my brick wall...the Simeon and Elizabeth Wallace family. Hiram and Solomon are proven sons of Simeon and Elizabeth through marriage records, and the others are, at this point, assumed children due to there being only the one Wallace family in Logan Co VA from it's formation up until 1840. Does anyone out there connect with any of the people mentioned below?


Name: Simeon WALLACE
----------------------------------------
Birth: abt 1772 NC [1,2]
Death: bef 1823 Logan Co VA [3]
Father: Unknown WALLACE (<1750-)
Mother: Unknown
Marriage: bef 1800 NC or TN or VA?
(NOTE: Supposed children Sarah Wallace and Henry T. Wallace are listed in several census' as being born in Tennessee, so it's highly likely that this couple married in NC or TN instead of VA - Tara.)

Spouse: Elizabeth (unknown maiden name)
----------------------------------------
