Pretty good family tree. Has b. 28 FEB 1822 in Rosskeen Scotland (Cruch Sutherland) with comment that might be 3 Feb 1822; d. 29 SEP 1892 in Port Elgin, Ontario

From http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.britisles.scotland.general/8532/mb.ashx - Merrill Maxwell:

I am a descendent of George Wallace b. 2 Jan 1775 and Barbara Munro b.18 Aug 1789. They had 4 children: John, Donald, Alexander and Hugh all born in Scotland.

Alexander moved to Ontario, Canada before 1852 where he married Mary Ann Elizabeth Cunningham (b. 16 Apr 1826 in Milbrook, Ireland). They had 11 children all born in Ontario, Canada.

  Birth Notes:

Donald Wallace (letter 4 Jun 1896) gives Alexander's birthdate as 3 February 1822 in Sutherland.

According to Jeanine Wallace, the family Bible of George & Barbara Wallace has "born in Creech Sutherland February 3, 1822 - September 29, 1892"

Another source has 28 Feb 1822 in Rosskeen. That appears to be in error.
