Descendants of Alexander WALLACE (1660-1735)

1. Alexander Wallace,¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ son of Old Father Wallace,⁷ ⁸ was born in Jun 1660 in Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty), Scotland and died in 1735 in Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty), Scotland at age 75.

Death Notes: Donald Wallace gives his death year as "about 1740." Another source has 1735.

General Notes: Twice married, 21 children.

Donald Wallace (1816-1902) letter to his grandson Edward H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. about 1660; d. about 1740. From that letter:

"Tradition says the first Wallace came to Ross[-s]hire as a manager to George McKinrie [Mackenzie (1630-1714)], Earl of Cromerty [Cromarty], and that I am the ninth generation, him my great-great-grandfather, was Alex. Wallace. He was born about 1660; he died about 1740. He was twice married, and had 21 children. He was a very brave man. Lachlin, my great-grandfather, was his son. It was from him that most of the Wallaces in Ross-shire sprung. He [Lachlin] was born 1701, died 1756. He had two sons, three daughters. His youngest son, John, was my grandfather. He [John?] left large offspring. Since the year 1838 he [John?] had 5 sons and 4 daughters. He [John?] died in 1849. His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father."

Research Notes: Even though other sources give different approximate birthdates, I'm using the "around 1660" from the letter by Donald Wallace to Ed Wallace. Since the death date was also approximate in the letter, I'm using 1735 from the RootsWeb sources.

Donald was the "Fifth generation in Ross-shire."
---
The family tree written by Jessie (Wallace) Ross has two wives for Alexander, with four children each. She does not mention Mary Monase. According to Donald Wallace, Alexander had 21 children, quite a discrepancy. Perhaps he had three wives and many children died during childbirth?

These are the only wives and children in Jessie's family tree, source unknown:
Anne Munro or Murray
Lauchlin
Thomas
Jean, Drowned Sands of Nigg
John
Nancy Munro
Alexander
Christy
Janet
Anne

Alexander next married Mary Monase of Kiltearn ²⁴ ²⁵ about 1705. Mary was born in <Kiltearn, (Ross-shire)>, Scotland.

Second Generation

General Notes: Two sons, three daughters.

Donald Wallace (1816-?) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 1701; d. 1756. "Tradition says the first Wallace came to Ross[-s]hire as a manager to George McKinrie [Mackenzie (1630-1714), Earl of Cromerty [Cromarty], and that I am the ninth generation, him my great-great-grandfather, was Alex. Wallace. He was born about 1660; he died about 1740. He was twice married, and had 21 children. He was a very brave man. Lachlin [Lachlan?], my great-grandfather, was his son. It was from him that most of the Wallaces in Ross-shire sprung. He [Lachlin] was born 1701, died 1756. He had two sons, three daughters. His youngest son, John, was my grandfather. He [John?] left large offspring. Since the year 1838 he [John?] had 5 sons and 4 daughters. He [John?] died in 1849. His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father."

Research Notes: Eldest son of Alexander Wallace.

Source: Family records of Lorna (Wallace) Johnson. Spelled "Lachlin" in the family tree and correspondence. Geni.com has Lachlan; Jessie (Wallace) Ross has Lauchlin.

Geni.com gives his mother as Ann M. Wallace; Jessie (Wallace) Ross has "Anne Munro or Murray."
Per Donald Wallace in 4 Jun 1896 letter to Ed H. Wallace, Lachlin was born in 1701 and died in 1756. If this is so, and his father, Alexander, did not marry Mary Monase until 1705, Mary would not have been his mother.

Donald Wallace spelled his name Lachlin. Donald wrote that Lachlin had 10 children.

• Residence: Auchnacloich, 2 miles N of Nonikiln, Nonikiln, Tain, Ross-shire (Highland), Scotland. ²⁶

Lachlin married Elizabeth Ross,²⁷ daughter of <John> Ross and <Janet or Jane> < >, about 1726. Elizabeth was born about 1702.

14 M v. Alexander Wallace ³⁰ ³¹ was born in 1736 and died in 1764 at age 28.

Research Notes: At least one source (Lack Family) has his mother as Ann Munroe of Ball Ross. The family tree from Jessie (Wallace) Ross has Nancy Munro. Needs further research.

19 F ii. Anne Wallace ³⁹ was born about 1730 and died in 1823 about age 93.

+ 20 M iii. Alexander Wallace ⁴¹ was born in 1761 and died on 30 Aug 1838 at age 77.

Third Generation

General Notes: Youngest son of Lachlin Wallace. Five sons, 4 daughters.

Donald Wallace (1816-?) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896: "Tradition says the first Wallace came to Ross[-s]hire as a manager to George McKinrie [Mackenzie (1630-1714)], Earl of Cromerty [Cromarty], and that I am the ninth generation, him my great-great-grandfather, was Alex.

EXTRACTS OF MANUSCRIPT BY JOHN WALLACE (the younger)

My father, John Wallace, had the farms of Culrain and Gushack for 13 years from 1779-1792 at a rent of 140 bolls part barley part meal and duties of money, peats and hens. At that time he had no coup carts nor pick and spade. For driving the manure to the land he had a kind of cart and a basket of wicker work. The wheels of the cart were constructed of three sticks 6" in diameter which were crossed and fixed in the centre by an axle that turned with the wheels on tum'lers as they were called. Stones as well as manure were carried in these carts and they would carry a heavy load. The wicker basket cost a shilling and would last for two years. For carrying home peats and leading corn he made a very simple cart of two long shafts with cross sticks in the bottom and standing rungs with top rails. As soon as the crop was put in the carts were taken off the tum'lers and put in some shed until the peats were ready for carrying home. All the carriage of corn, meal and potatoes was done in bags on horseback. Going to the mill seven or eight horses would be tied in a row, the one to the other with halters made of horse hair. A boy had the first horse while two men were employed to keep the bags from falling. My father had three ploughs and six oxen to each plough. The ploughs were made by himself almost entirely of wood, all the iron used being a strong culter, a sock and a large hook fired at the point of the beam with a staple and a few nails which were required to fix the mouldboard of deals.. Then the oxen were strong, the ploughs would work as well as any made for years after. The harrows were made of birch, with five rungs across through the bills. He had no graips only two large forks, and in place of a mattock he had a croman or half mattock. For a spade he had a large wooden shovel mounted with iron at the point and up both sides. The thing was allowed to lie in the byres for a week and then it was carted to the midden on the wheelbarrow, or sometimes on a two handed barrow such as was used by the masons. Women took part in all the farm, except ploughing, threshing and carrying bags. Neither clover or turnips were grown, but there would be about sixteen bolls potatoes. The work in summer after sowing the barley about the 20th May was to cut the peats, and then to make middens for next year's barley. These middens were made of soil from outlying land mixed with the manure of horses and cattle. Horses and cattle got very little corn, but when any of the cattle were weak in spring they got sheaves of oats in the morning. At that time there were very few large farms. On the farm of Millcraig, (Mr. Wallace occupied Millcraig and Nonikiln till 1851) about 1760 there were eight tenants and ten ploughs with 60 animals, three ploughs are now sufficient. In my young days the large farm of Newmore was occupied by Alexander Rossor MacFinlay and his two sons, the rent being £80 and 80 bolls of grain. He and his sons were altogether of the old school. He had eight horses to carry home his peats using the rung carts with the tumblers. There was not so much as a pin of iron about the harness of the eight horses. For shoulder chains and hames birch wands were used instead of iron. I remember well seeing a pair of horses passing Nonikiln from Strathcarron to Inverness with furniture and there was not a single link or pin of iron about the horses or cart. The traces were made of deer skin and were tough and strong. The collars were made of ropes of straw twined threefold. These would last about a year but when made of loch rushes 4 ft. in length would last two years. The farmers made the harness themselves; in short they made everything. There was no need for saddlers, but weavers were numerous, and they got plenty of work to do. There was only one merchant in the parish of Rosskeen and it was from him my father bought his first spade. I wondered much at it, as it was the first spade I had ever seen.

MARRIED MEN SERVANTS WAGES

Married men for twelve months got £4, six bolls of meal, two days to cut peats, straw for a stirk, land for potatoes for their own manure land for sowing two pints of linseed. Shearers got (corn?) eighteen pecks of oatmeal by measure.

DIET OF SERVANTS

At breakfast "brochan" and pease meal bread; at dinner in Summer whey and bread; at supper sowens or "brochan". There was cabbage for dinner once a week and next day porridge made of what remained of the cabbage was taken with butter at breakfast. My father always fed a cow to be killed in winter, and as long as it lasted the servants got broth and sometimes beef. During winter and spring there was always plenty of home made ale and the servants occasionally got ale, butter and curds, but porridge was seldom seen. The servants got three feasts in the year, one on Old New Years Day, another when the barley was sown and another when the shearing was finished.

CLOTHING AND SOCIAL CUSTOMS

The clothing was very simple and plain. The men wore black knee breeches and bright blue coats made by their wives. The young men generally wore similar attire but some had kilts. Even the larger farmers wore broad blue bonnets and no hats were to be seen. About 1792 some favourite sons began to get trousers, and by 1850 breeches had almost disappeared. In my father's time no farmers' wives had prints or cotton gowns. Their gowns were of their own making, chiefly wincey. The wives wore a small tartan shoulder plaid, and it was considered decent for a farmer's wife to have a clean white towel on her head above the mutch or cap. No young ladies covered their head until married. Their hair was their pride. It was all combed down their shoulders and when at work was tied at their back with tape. At the marriage ceremony, the bride was always covered with a scarlet plaid, and if she had not one of her own got the loan of one. The gatherings at marriages were usually very large, and there was music and. dancing on four nights, on Thursday night at the feet washing; on Friday night after the marriage; on Saturday evening and part of the day and again on Tuesday at what was called the home wedding.

MEMORABLE YEARS:

Under this heading Mr. Wallace refers to the remarkably wet year of 1782 which was called the Black Year. There was scarcely a dry day during the whole Spring, while summer and autumn were also very wet. The crop was late and miserably poor, in fact the greater portion of it never ripened at all. Mr. Calder, the minister in Roskeen, was paid in grain and all he got in that year was 16 bolls of barley from my father and these 16 bolls scarcely made 8 bolls of meal. Many cattle died in the spring but none of the inhabitants succumbed to the hardships of the famine. I was told, however, that many deaths would have occurred had it not been that cargoes of white pease which had been intended for the troops engaged in the American War, but which on the announce-ment of peace, were sent North and came to Ross-shire and the pease distributed among the more needful. My father was present at the distribution. The following year was as singularly dry as 1782 was exceptionally wet. The crop was very early, some of it being stored by the end of August, but owing to the inferior quality of much of the seed of the crop of 1782, the general yield was very poor. Many farmers fell in arrears and some of them never got over it. The year 1792 was quite as remarkable in Ross-shire. A few years before this sheep farming was begun in the County of Ross and the natives believing that this innovation would compromise their comforts and privileges begun about this year to display formidable opposition to the movement. The native farmers, tradesmen and labourers resolved to gather the whole stock of sheep in Sutherland and Ross and drive them over the southern borders into Inverness-shire. Accordingly arrangements for the outrage against sheep farmers was made by proclamation at the Church doors. A mob of people met and having collected above 10,000 sheep, they were proceeding with their flock along the heights of the parish of Alness, when they learned that Colonel Sir Hector Munro of Novar was on his way from Fort George with a company of the 42nd Highlanders to suppress their depredations. The sheep gatherers dispersed immediately, but a good many were apprehended and tried in the Circuit Court at Inverness. Two were transported but the others got off with imprisonment, The commencement of this affair was as follows:

Captain Allan Cameron and his brother Alexander Cameron took the farms of Fyrish and Culcraggie along with the grazings of Gildermorrie on the heights of Alness. The Ardross tenants had previously grazed their cattle all summer on Gildermorrie, and having wandered back to their old pastures, the Camerons pounded them and enclosed them in a large fank which they had built for the purpose. That day the Ardross tenants were hearty at a wedding in Strathrushdale, but on hearing what had happened to their cattle, they proceeded in a body to Gildermorrie where an ugly fight took place between them and the Camerons. The year 1800 was a very dry year scarcely a drop of rain fell during the Summer. The crop was not half average in bulk. I got 50 shillings for barley, 48 shillings for oatmeal and 40 shillings for potatoes. The year 1811 was very wet and the greater portion of the crop dreadfully damaged. I got 54 shillings for barley that year. The crops of 1816 and 1817 were also bad while in 1836 the whole crop would scarcely pay my rent.

From Jeanine Wallace (email 12 Jan 2010): "George and Barbara have their own headstone. Originally George was buried downtown Guelph, he was the second person to be buried in that cemetary. The cemetary has since been moved to the Woodlawn cemetary were most of the family is buried now. When George passed away he and the family were living in the Scotch Block just outside of Guelph, now a little intersection called Marden. Grandpa says that he heard that Barbara and her sons were quite a burden on the neighbours after George died because they certainly didn't have much."

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):
"Another early settler was Mrs. George Wallace who with her husband and four sons, John, Alexander, Donald and Hugh, in the year 1825, left Scotland on the sailing vessel "Planet" for South America where they landed at Carracus, Venezuela. Eighteen months later they arrived in Guelph known as the LaGuayra settlers. George Wallace died August 18, 1828 and was the second body buried in the old cemetery behind Chalmers Church which is now a city parking lot. Mrs. Wallace and her four sons then settled in Pilkington where the sixth generation is still residing."

General Notes: Donald Wallace (1816-1902) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 9 Jan 1775:

"His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father. He [George] was born January 9th, 1775. He married Barbara Munro, 6th March, 1806. He was a factor for Culrain, a wealthy man, then he went as overseer for a gentleman. On the 7th Oct 1825, he and wife and 4 sons left Scotland for South America. There he tried farming, but he did not like it. He left his [son] John there. He and family went to Canada West. He arrived at Guelph 26 September 1827. He settled on a farm there. On the 19th of next August he died. His wife [Barbara] was born in Ross[-s]hire 18 Aug 1737 [sic]. She died at Woolwich, Feb. 4, 1844 He had four sons--John, Donald, Hugh, Alexander. John was born at Ross[-s]hire, 13th of April 1813. He died in South America 11th of March, 1848. Donald was born 14th of February 1845. Hugh was born in Sutherland, 8th July, 1819. Died. Alexander was born in Sutherland on the 3rd of February, 1822. Barbara Wallace and her three sons removed from near Guelph to Woolwich 20th April, 1833. On a genealogical tree of the family of Wallaces in Ross[-s]hire, by a cousin of mine, I saw 88. Some more might be added since. One of them, Lachlin, had 10 children. One of them was John, my grandfather."

Narrative by Don Wallace (Donald C. Wallace, III) on 1 July 2010, in email to Karen (Johnson) Fish:

Wallace origins in Scotland with immigration story to Canada via Colombia ca. 1815-20. It's a doozy: the entire clan worked under the Earl of Cromartie up on the Northeast coast for about 200+ years. The head Wallace was The Grange, or clan leader, and in the custom of the time that meant full employment and housing for the rest of the family.

All was going well when [George] Wallace married Barbara Munro, whose brother was a notorious cattle rustler, aka The Black Drover. Barbara got her husband to temporarily borrow the entire year's budget for the estate, about 300 pounds sterling, to finance buying (rustling, probably) cattle on the English border for sale elsewhere in Northern England. Instead, the Black Drover kept the money and said he'd been ripped off. This made [George] W an embezzler, and he and the family were forced to leave the estate.

He took them to the far north to start a Gaelic school--a revolutionary act at the time of the Enclosures, which were forcing crofters off the Highlands down into the textile mills of England or overseas as immigrants. The school failed. He petitioned the church to resettle the family, about 17 people, and they took what was offered: a missionary settlement in the highlands of Colombia, which was a vast ungoverned breakaway country, including Venezuela and Panama. The idea of introducing Protestantism in an overwhelming Catholic country didn't go over well. After a neighbor led a stray cow up to their front porch and plunged a knife into its heart, [George] petitioned the church again for resettlement. They were sent to Canada, landed in Guelph, Ontario, around 1822. And [George], totally burnt out by then, up and died [in 1828].

I gathered all of this from a box of letters handed down, the oldest dating from the 1640s. I found the box while spending the night in grandfather Don Wallace's house the night after his death. I spent a few hours reading everything and made my father open a safe deposit box to safeguard it. And then--it's so sad as to be unbelievable--at some point the deposit was closed and the box just thrown out. It just about broke my heart then, and does now, telling you. (And that's why I'm telling you. Those of us who care are few and far between.)

The family [of John D. Wallace] followed the Red River south into the Dakota territories, founding Drayton, and maybe another town or two. We still have the homestead from the 1870s--on the "bad" side of the Red River--though there is only one person left alive who has seen it, we lease it to a hay farmer. The reason all of the Wallaces headed West (or East, one brother helping to incorporate Suffolk County in New York State) was the land was in such poor condition. If we'd picked land on the other side of the river, where the sediment was, we'd probably still be there...

One final thought for today: all of the family left Colombia except for the eldest son, Alexander [John?], aged 16, who stayed, and later ended up in Costa Rica, where it is said he married a princess. I thought this story was a fable until my mother and father began reminiscing about visits from a very snotty Costa Rican lady when they were young, who insisted she was a royal. This would probably have been a Bourbon dynasty line of descent, if it wasn't a case of putting on airs.

Research Notes: Lorna Wallace family tree has "George (John?) Wallace." Was John his middle name? His brother? Father? Also has b. 8 Jan 1775. Transcription of Donald Wallace letter of 4 June 1896 to Ed Wallace has 9 Jan 1775, but his gravestone and the family Bible say 8 January 1775 in Culrain.

Has b. 1775 in Cromarty, Scotland.

Cromarty is very near to Rosskeen.

Re: Looking for George Wallace-1775 and Barbara Munro-1789 of Rosshire
1 Mar 2009
pachinkoisforlovers

I am related to George Wallace and Barbara Munro through their son Donald.

here is the information that i have:
George Wallace, his Wife and their four sons left the port in Cromarty, Scotland and sailed on the vessel "Planet" in 7 Oct 1825 for South America. they went on the promise of land and other concessions that were never realized. In Carracas (LaGuayra), Venezuela and 18 mo. (1827)later arrived in Guelph Tp. CAN and were alloted land on the Elora Road (Scotch Block)and became known as the LaGuayra settlers. George dies Aug. 18 1828 and was the second body to be buried in the old cemetary behind Chalmers church.

From what i can find i believe that George, Barbara and three of their sone (George, Alexander and Hugh) went to Canada. I have mixed reports but have come to believe that their son John stayed in Carracas where he died some years later.

Hugh Wallace (b. 1819 Scotland-5 Sept 1881 Wellington co. ON) married Margaret Metcalf. they had 9 children.

I have your relative Alexander Wallace (b. 28 Feb 1822 Scotland - 29 Sept 1892 ON) marrying Mary Ann Elizabeth Cunningham. they had 11 children.

My G-G Grandfather Donald Wallace (b.14 Feb 1816 Scotland- d.1902 Pasadena, CA) married Harriet Lasby in 1838. they had 9 children.

Alexander born in Creech Sutherland February 3, 1822 - September 29,1892

Just a side note - Alexander died in Port Elgin, Ontario - he moved there as Donald and Hugh took over the farm

Barbara died at the home of her son Hugh in what was then Woolwich Township, but was later named Pilkington Township in 1852 and has since been amalgamated to be Centre Wellington Township

General Notes: Letter from Catherine Ross (by then married to Young) about the death of her brother John

To: John Wallace
Sun Office 112 Strand London
Jan 29 1827
My dear Uncle,
I fully intended to have written to you two months ago, in the first place I was waiting to hear more satisfactory accounts from Colombia and since I received the melancholy intelligence of my poor brother's death I felt little disposed for writing.
Mr Young has sent you a paper with an account of him in it written by Mr Young which he has copied into all the newspapers here.

I saw a gentleman yesterday that has just arrived from Lagunyea who gives a most dismal account of the people's distress, but I suppose you have heard from George all the particulars. Their chief wish is to come home, or to be sent to North America, but the Association will do nothing for them. It has proved a most unfortunate course and has brought impossible misfortune on our poor family. Mrs Ross and her family are left quite destitute. She has three children, two boys and a girl. The mother and the youngest have gone to live with her father in Edinburgh and we have taken the other two. It would be rather hard that his poor children would be left friendless after what he had done for his father's family. With all his failings he had a most affectionate warm heart.

All the accounts we have had of his illness and death are in the Sun. It is strange that we should have been so long without hearing of is the heard from the consol at Philadelphia who sent an inventory of all John's things. We have written to him to get all the particulars he can relate to his illness and of course you have heard that he paid Walter a visit in Demerara. He was just after parting with him a fortnight when he died. He was very unlucky in all his undertakings but in my opinion the Association have behaved most infamously.

I had a letter from Walter am Saturday dated 1st November the poor fellow did not then hear of his loss. He will feel it the more on account of so recently having seen him. Indeed I dread the consequence upon his health. He says he expects to hear from you shortly. I saw a gentleman who came from Charles last summer. He was in the enjoyment of very excellent health but has so of riches. But we must hope for the best. I must now conclude for I do not feel disposed to enter into long particulars of my own affairs at present.

The Sun is doing wonders I believe I wrote to you time the birth of my youngest daughter who was born 9th of last October and is a fine little girl called Catherine after her mother.
Give my compliments to all my relations and friends. Mr Young writes with me in fondest regards to you and Mrs Wallace and I remain, my dear uncle, your affectionate niece
Catharine Young

I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as possible as I am going to write to Charles and he will feel interest in all the Roshkeen news. Write fully and if George says anything of John let me know. C.Y.

I shall expect your answer in a fortnight.

From geni.com (added 25 Apr 2009):

7th child of John Wallace, was a tenant of Nonikiln until 1813, when he moved to the farm of Mossfield. There he failed in 1816 owing to his becoming security of John Munro, husband of his sister Mary and lost all he had. He was factor or land agent for many years for the Estate of Culrain, for some time grieve or farm manager for Major Juniston of Criech and then became parish schoolmaster at Alness where he taught Gaelic. He went in 1826 with many others, led by his nephew Rev. John Ross, to Colombia, South America. This nephew died the same year, December 31, 1826, on passage to Philadephia. He tried farming, but that did not answer his expectations so he remained only 18 months. George soon thereafter settled on a farm in the Scotch Block in Upper Canada West in 1827 with his wife and three young sons. His eldest son, John was born in February, 1813. The other 3 sons, Donald, Hugh and Alexander are still in Upper Canada (1894), two married. George died August 19, 1828 leaving a widow who died February 1, 1849.

Above data from Rosemarie Mackenzie, Tain, Scotland gathered by Barrie Todd, sent to Patricia Wallace Norvell on 4/27/94. George died in America.

Pilkington, Aug. 13th, 1866: George Wallace was born Jan 8, 1775, at Culrain. He married Barbara Munro March 6th, 1806, first farmed at Nonikill til 1813, then became factor for Culrain, but signing a bill with he brother-in-law, John Munro, who failed in a 3,000 pounds, he lost all he had - about 600 pounds. He then went as greave to Creich, next to Ardross. Afterwards he taught a Gaelic school, and on October 7, 1825, together with his wife and 4 sons left Scotland for South America. He there tried farming, but that not answering his expectations, he only remained about 18 months, and leaving his son John there, came to Canada West, arrived at Guelph, September 26, 1827, and settled on a farm there (in Scotch Block).

He died August 19, 1828, leaving a widow whodied February 4, 1849 and 4 sons John, Donald, Hugh and Alexander.

Birth Notes: The transcription of Donald Wallace's letter has 18 August 1737, which is probably a misreading of 18 August 1787 or 1789. According to Jeanine Wallace, the family Bible of George & Barbara has b. at Arshrop, Parish of Ross-shire, Scotland on August 18, 1789. This is born out by her gravestone (b. August 18, 1789 and d.

In the 1851 census, there were many Munros in Rosskeen and several place names containing "Ardross." One was a castle, a couple were farms. A lot of individuals were born in Creich.

EXTRACTS OF MANUSCRIPT BY JOHN WALLACE (the younger)

My father, John Wallace, had the farms of Culrain and Gushack for 13 years from 1779-1792 at a rent of 140 bolls part barley part meal and duties of money, peats and hens. At that time he had no coup carts nor pick and spade. For driving the manure to the land he had a kind of cart and a basket of wicker work. The wheels of the cart were constructed of three sticks 6" in diameter which were crossed and fixed in the centre by an axle that turned with the wheels on tum'lers as they were called. Stones as well as manure were carried in these carts and they would carry a heavy load. The wicker basket cost a shilling and would last for two years. For carrying home peats and leading corn he made a very simple cart of two long shafts with cross sticks in the bottom and standing rungs with top rails. As soon as the crop was put in the carts were taken off the tum'lers and put in some shed until the peats were ready for carrying home. All the carriage of corn, meal and potatoes was done in bags on horseback. Going to the mill seven or eight horses would be tied in a row, the one to the other with halters made of horse hair. A boy had the first horse while two men were employed to keep the bags from falling. My father had three ploughs and six oxen to each plough. The ploughs were made by himself almost entirely of wood, all the iron used being a strong culter, a sock and a large hook fired at the point of the beam with a staple and a few nails which were required to fix the mouldboard of deals.. Then the oxen were strong, the ploughs would work as well as any made for years after. The harrows were made of birch, with five rungs across through the bills. He had no graips only two large forks, and in place of a mattock he had a croman or half mattock. For a spade he had a large wooden shovel mounted with iron at the point and up both sides. The thing was allowed to lie in the byres for a week and then it was carted to the midden on the wheelbarrow, or sometimes on a two handed barrow such as was used by the masons. Women took part in all the farm, except ploughing, threshing and carrying bags. Neither clover or turnips were grown, but there would be about sixteen bolls potatoes. The work in summer after sowing the barley about the 20th May was to cut the peats, and then to make middens for next year's barley. These middens were made of soil from outlying land mixed with the manure of horses and cattle. Horses and cattle got very little corn, but when any of the cattle were weak in spring they got sheaves of oats in the morning. At that time there were very few large farms. On the farm of Millcraig, (Mr. Wallace occupied Millcraig and Nonikiln till 1851) about 1760 there were eight tenants and ten ploughs with 60 animals, three ploughs are now sufficient. In my young days the large farm of Newmore was occupied by Alexander Rossor MacFinlay and his two sons, the rent being £80 and 80 bolls of grain. He and his sons were altogether of the old school. He had eight horses to carry home his peats using the rung carts with the tumblers. There was not so much as a pin of iron about the harness of the eight horses. For shoulder chains and hames birch wands were used instead of iron. I remember well seeing a pair of horses passing Nonikiln from Strathcarron to Inverness with furniture and there was not a single link or pin of iron about the horses or cart. The traces were made of deer skin and were tough and strong. The collars were made of ropes of straw twined threefold. These would last about a year but when made of loch rushes 4 ft. in length would last two years. The farmers made the harness themselves; in short they made everything. There was no need for saddlers, but weavers were numerous, and they got plenty of work to do. There was only one merchant in the parish of Rosskeen and it was from him my father bought his first spade. I wondered much at it, as it was the first spade I had ever seen.

MARRIED MEN SERVANTS WAGES

Married men for twelve months got £4, six bolls of meal, two days to cut peats, straw for a stirk, land for potatoes for their own manure land for sowing two pints of linseed. Shearers got (corn?) eighteen pecks of oatmeal by measure.

DIET OF SERVANTS

At breakfast "brochan" and pease meal bread; at dinner in Summer whey and bread; at supper sowens or "brochan". There was cabbage for dinner once a week and next day porridge made of what remained of the cabbage was taken with butter at breakfast. My father always fed a cow to be killed in winter, and as long as it lasted the servants got broth and sometimes beef. During winter and spring there was always plenty of home made ale and the servants occasionally got ale, butter and curds, but porridge was seldom seen. The servants got three feasts in the year, one on Old New Years Day, another when the barley was sown and another when the shearing was finished.

CLOTHING AND SOCIAL CUSTOMS

The clothing was very simple and plain. The men wore black knee breeches and bright blue coats made by their wives. The young men generally wore similar attire but some had kilts. Even the larger farmers wore broad blue bonnets and no hats were to be seen. About 1792 some favourite sons began to get trousers, and by 1850 breeches had almost disappeared. In my father's time no farmers' wives had prints or cotton gowns. Their gowns were of their own making, chiefly wincey. The wives wore a small tartan shoulder plaid, and it was considered decent for a farmer's wife to have a clean white towel on her head above the mutch or cap. No young ladies covered their head until married. Their hair was their pride. It was all combed down their shoulders and when at work was tied at their back with tape. At the marriage ceremony, the bride was always covered with a scarlet plaid, and if she had not one of her own got the loan of one. The gatherings at marriages were usually very large, and there was music and. dancing on four nights, on Thursday night at the feet washing; on Friday night after the marriage; on Saturday evening and part of the day and again on Tuesday at what was called the home wedding.

MEMORABLE YEARS:

Under this heading Mr. Wallace refers to the remarkably wet year of 1782 which was called the Black Year. There was scarcely a dry day during the whole Spring, while summer and autumn were also very wet. The crop was late and miserably poor, in fact the greater portion of it never ripened at all. Mr. Calder, the minister in Roskeen, was paid in grain and all he got in that year was 16 bolls of barley from my father and these 16 bolls scarcely made 8 bolls of meal. Many cattle died in the spring but none of the inhabitants succumbed to the hardships of the famine. I was told, however, that many deaths would have occurred had it not been that cargoes of white pease which had been intended for the troops engaged in the American War, but which on the announce-ment of peace, were sent North and came to Ross-shire and the pease distributed among the more needful. My father was present at the distribution. The following year was as singularly dry as 1782 was exceptionally wet. The crop was very early, some of it being stored by the end of August, but owing to the inferior quality of much of the seed of the crop of 1782, the general yield was very poor. Many farmers fell in arrears and some of them never got over it. The year 1792 was quite as remarkable in Ross-shire. A few years before this sheep farming was begun in the County of Ross and the natives believing that this innovation would compromise their comforts and privileges begun about this year to display formidable opposition to the movement. The native farmers, tradesmen and labourers resolved to gather the whole stock of sheep in Sutherland and Ross and drive them over the southern borders into Inverness-shire. Accordingly arrangements for the outrage against sheep farmers was made by proclamation at the Church doors. A mob of people met and having collected above 10,000 sheep, they were proceeding with their flock along the heights of the parish of Alness, when they learned that Colonel Sir Hector Munro of Novar was on his way from Fort George with a company of the 42nd Highlanders to suppress their depredations. The sheep gatherers dispersed immediately, but a good many were apprehended and tried in the Circuit Court at Inverness. Two were transported but the others got off with imprisonment, The commencement of this affair was as follows:

Captain Allan Cameron and his brother Alexander Cameron took the farms of Fyrish and Culcraggie along with the grazings of Gildermorrie on the heights of Alness. The Ardross tenants had previously grazed their cattle all summer on Gildermorrie, and having wandered back to their old pastures, the Camerons pounded them and enclosed them in a large fank which they had built for the purpose. That day the Ardross tenants were hearty at a wedding in Strathrushdale, but on hearing what had happened to their cattle, they proceeded in a body to Gildermorrie where an ugly fight took place between them and the Camerons. The year 1800 was a very dry year scarcely a drop of rain fell during the Summer. The crop was not half average in bulk. I got 50 shillings for barley, 48 shillings for oatmeal and 40 shillings for potatoes. The year 1811 was very wet and the greater portion of the crop dreadfully damaged. I got 54 shillings for barley that year. The crops of 1816 and 1817 were also bad while in 1836 the whole crop would scarcely pay my rent.

Death Notes: Died of apoplexy at sea aboard the 'Eclipse,' an American vessel sailing from La Guayra, Colombia, to Philadelphia.

Note: According to Geni.com, he died on 31 December 1826 "on passage to Philadelphia."

Research Notes: Eldest child of Walter Ross and Elizabeth Wallace and nephew of George A. Wallace. Died at sea (see below), leaving a widow and three children (2 boys and 1 girl). After his death his widow and youngest child went to live with the widow's father in Edinburgh. The other two children were cared for by Catherine Ross and her husband, Mr. Young, probably in London.

The following obituary was penned by Mr. Young, husband of John's sister, Catharine Ross, editor of "The Sun" newspaper in London.

From Lack Family Genealogy (http://www.lackfamily.net/genealogy/names/wallace_name/d1.htm#i620):

General Notes: From: "The Sun" Dec 21 1826

Died at sea, on 27 July, on board the 'Eclipse', an American vessel bound from La Gunya to Philadelphia, the Rev. John Ross. He left this country last year as leader and pastor of an English colony which the Colombian Agricultural Association have planted in the Vale of Test(?) near La Gunya and on his return for England was sudenly carried off by an attack of apoplexy. Few men have led a more ... varied life. When at college, and in other situations, there were differences of opinion as to the propriety of some parts of his conduct. All agreed however in ascribing to him abilities of the very first class. He was a man of strong passions, capable of undergoing any fatigue of body or mind, of a noble and generous character, and ever more ready to serve his friends rather than himself. His uncompromising and fearless disposition raised him some bitter enemies. His goodness of heart and social qualities procured him the most sincere friends. A little more worldly prudence alone was wanting to have raised him to the first rank in any situation. In early years he was left by the death of his father and mother the only support of a young family. By his individual exertion he gave his brothers and sisters a liberal education, and got them respectably settled in life. His widow and three children are now left to trust to the same generosity and brotherly affection which the father so eminently displayed.

To the above correct description of character, little can be added; the portrait may, indeed, be enlarged, but cannot be improved. Of all men, Mr Ross was the best for depicting the character of others, while his own presents no ordinary difficulty, from its near approach to the extremes of passion in all its waywardness and fascinating influence over the mind. His abilities were as varied as the occasions which called them into action, and he was always superior to the task, whether it demanded personal exertions or mental energy - he was in both pre-eminent, and possessed the rare faculty of communicating his own enthusiasm to his compeers, while he excited the emulation of less gifted individuals, and commanded the applause of all. But we are not portraying an ordinary character - the public must recollect the Reporter of the Times at the far-famed inquest at Oldham. The stern integrity and fearless intrepidity displayed on that occasion were not more conspicuous than the singular ability and surprising memory with which the proceedings were reported, although the Coroner prohibited the reporter from taking any notes, and would scarcely allow him to be a passive spectator at the inquest, for he could not help betraying his alarm at Mr Ross's presence, and even designated him "a dangerous man". But his fame was not circumscribed to Oldham - the Northern circuit, and many public bodies, will bear ample testimony to his extraordinary talents and superior attainments.
In reporting the proceedings of Parliament he was deservedly conspicuous. His faithful adherence to the speaker, was not more felicitous than, from his extensive reading and ready apprehension, he was remarkable for catching the meaning of the orator when his ideas were obscurely expressed, and thereby clothed them, as if by intuition, in the speaker's own phraseology. On other occasions if a profuse orator required condensation, no man could do him more justice than Mr Ross, whose comprehensive genius would not give disjointed parts, but a luminous miniature of the original, and such as the speaker himself would be proud to admire.
One circumstance will do credit to Mr. Ross's accuracy in reporting, and reflect honour upon the first orator in the House of Commons. Some few years ago when a ticklish subject was agitated, and the conduct of Ministers was called into question, Mr. Canning in explaining the point said "that Ministers did not contemplate such an intention for a quarter of an hour," and as this unlucky word "contemplate" seemed to imply that Ministers had really entertained the idea, the Courier, in the plenitude of its official wisdom, at once denounced the correctness of the report, and charged the Times with a wilful misrepresentation. The Times felt indignant at the charge, and after referring to the reporter of the speech, flung back the accusation, with scorn, in the teeth of its sage assailant. Public attention was naturally directed at the circumstance, and the Courier, secure in its infallibility, reiterated the original charge with aggravated malignity - backing its assertion by the presumptive proof that no other paper had used the word contemplate in reporting the passage. Things had gone so far that the gentlemen of the stock exchange took up the question and betted freely upon the result of the dispute. In the meantime, Mr. Ross proceeded to Gloucester Lodge - his character was at stake, and though it was a delicate point on the other side, he requested an audience of Mr Canning. His reception was most flattering. He said that he differed in politics to the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he was an ardent admirer of his transcendant talents, and threw himself upon his justice, but asked for no favour - he had reported his speech in the Times, and might have misunderstood one word, which had unfortunately given rise to so much observation, but he felt almost certain it was contemplate. "Why", said the Right Honourable Gentleman, with a frankness peculiar to great minds, "I remember it perfectly - the word was unfortunate, but in the fervour of the debate, it rushed upon my mind, and feeling its import, I paused a moment, seeking for a correspondent but less significant epithet, and finding none, contemplate hung upon my tongue all the while, like a torrent on the brink of a precipice, and I gave it utterance, unconscious of the event." The Right Hon. Gentleman then complimented Mr Ross upon the fidelity of his report, and expressed his astonishment how, under all the difficulties of the occasion, reporters were able to do half the justice they did to the debates in Parliament. Mr Ross departed with tearful gratitude at the magnanimity of his illustrious host, who entertained him for upwards of an hour.
But he had scarcely reached home when an express arrived from Gloucester Lodge, bearing a letter from Mr. Canning, who said , that so great was the impression produced on his mind by the extraordinary abilities of his visitor, that he could not rest contented with the oral expression of his testimony to the correctness of Mr. Ross's report, and begged to confirm it by his own hand. The letter was couched in the most flattering terms. On the same evening the Courier appeared, adding personal insult to infallible assertion - its staunch supporters were in the zenith of their glory - and the proprietors of the Times were musing in their "doubts," when Mr Ross entered and confirmed the correctness of his report by the applauding letter of Mr. Canning, which Mr. Walter retains to this day as a trophy - not less creditable to the reporter than honourable to the distinguished orator.
No man had suffered more the vicissitudes of fortune than Mr. Ross, and no man could more patiently endure them. The temperament of his mind was always in the ascendant, and though adversity could not humble the elevation of his spirits, prosperity whirled them to a delirious ecstasy, that still threatened his destruction. He was imperiously happy - diffusing all his intoxicating joy around, and blind to all consequence but the exhilarating impulse of the moment. Yet no man could be more sedate on the proper occasion, or more learned in argument, or more happy in illustrating his own views, or more keen in defending particular points, or more provoking in shifting his position if the ice was too weak to support his argument, for such was the elasticity of his mind, that
"E'en tho' vanquish'd he could argue still;"
the ground was not lost while he could stand upon it.
He was for some time Editor of the British Press, after which he was connected with the Globe and Traveller, and subsequently with the Morning Herald, before his departure for America. In the latter journal his characters of the most distinguished men in both Houses of Parliament, signed Jonathan, were struck off with a masterly hand - displaying a graphic fidelity of expression, with an irresistible similitude to the original - at once elegant and striking.
He was the author of several works, emanating from the spur of the moment, and consequently tinged with the predominating bias of his mind, which did not often wait to weigh matters in the scales of prudence; if they ensured éclat, or conveyed the unquenchable hostility of his passion for the time being - it was sufficient. At College he was not more conspicuous for a certain waywardness of opinion, than for an enviable ability in maintaining the absurdity of his position. Of him it might be said, that
--------------- if himself deceived
He argued till his fees believed.
He was eminently learned in various languages, and deeply read, but dogmatic to a fault. His style was terse but elegant. His epithets were occasionally strained, but the effect of his writing was forcible - conclusive. He delighted in satire; - his sarcastic irony was unsparingly vehement and pointed - his tirade in print resembled Mr Brougham's in the Senate. But his mind was imbued with kindly sentiments, and enriched with storied beauty from the best authors. His imagination was wild, original and romantic, still best pleased with indulging the tender association of his youth, while roaming amid the varied and sublime scenery of his native mountains. His feelings were keenly alive to the beauties of composition, and he delighted in dreams of public good, till his sensibility frequently ran away with his judgement. Tacitus was his favourite author, and Cowper his holiday recreation. He was honoured with the friendship of Mr. Brougham, Sir James Mackintosh, the late Mr. Ricardo - and he enjoyed the confidence of other perhaps equally worthy, though less distinguished individuals. The goodness of his heart knew no bounds, his revenge no limit. Generous to profusion, he took to fits of prudence when economy was bankrupt. He was most eager to serve a friend and more eager to retaliate a supposed insult. The impetuosity of his passions frequently hurried him beyond the line of decorum - but his unruly temper was to blame, not his heart, which overflowed with kindness, and melted in being able to communicate to others a portion of that transporting joy which mocked utterance. His precipitate temper often defeated the best aim of his ardent ambition.
But there might be good reason for its acerbity - one false step in early life embittered his future destiny and destroyed the hope of comfortable or even respectable retirement, which, to a man of his sensibility, was worse than death. This secret feeling preyed upon his mind, and often urged him to drown his sorrows with more congenial spirits, but the elevation frequently consequent on this partiality for company occasioned him much grief when the excitement had subsided. He is gone! - let us not scan too harshly the failings of a man who might have been the first ornament as he was the master spirit of whatever society he honoured with his presence. Those who have known him, will bear testimony to the truth of this feeble delineation of his character; but perhaps the best proof of its sincerity will be found in the circumstances that the writer of this article, though glowing with brotherly affection, has laboured under the ban of his unaccountable displeasure for three years. As it is, he sincerely laments in having to perform an act of justice to the memory of a man whom he, for a time, so exclusively esteemed , and the generous qualities of whose heart so transcendently eclipsed the common failings of our nature.

General Notes: Letter from Catherine Ross (by then married to Young) about the death of her brother John

To: John Wallace
Sun Office 112 Strand London
Jan 29 1827

My dear Uncle,

I fully intended to have written to you two months ago, in the first place I was waiting to hear more satisfactory accounts from Colombia and since I received the melancholy intelligence of my poor brother's death I felt little disposed for writing.
Mr Young has sent you a paper with an account of him in it written by Mr Young which he has copied into all the newspapers here.

I saw a gentleman yesterday that has just arrived from Lagunyea who gives a most dismal account of the people's distress, but I suppose you have heard from George all the particulars. Their chief wish is to come home, or to be sent to North America, but the Association will do nothing for them. It has proved a most unfortunate course and has brought impossible misfortune on our poor family. Mrs Ross and her family are left quite destitute. She has three children, two boys and a girl. The mother and the youngest have gone to live with her father in Edinburgh and we have taken the other two. It would be rather hard that his poor children would be left friendless after what he had done for his father's family. With all his failings he had a most affectionate warm heart.

All the accounts we have had of his illness and death are in the Sun. It is strange that we should have been so long without hearing of is the heard from the consol at Philadelphia who sent an inventory of all John's things. We have written to him to get all the particulars he can relate to his illness and of course you have heard that he paid Walter a visit in Demerara. He was just after parting with him a fortnight when he died. He was very unlucky in all his undertakings but in my opinion the Association have behaved most infamously.

I had a letter from Walter am Saturday dated 1st November the poor fellow did not then hear of his loss. He will feel it the more on account of so recently having seen him. Indeed I dread the consequence upon his health. He says he expects to hear from you shortly. I saw a gentleman who came from Charles last summer. He was in the enjoyment of very excellent health but has so of riches. But we must hope for the best. I must now conclude for I do not feel disposed to enter into long particulars of my own affairs at present.

The Sun is doing wonders I believe I wrote to you time the birth of my youngest daughter who was born 9th of last October and is a fine little girl called Catherine after her mother.

Give my compliments to all my relations and friends. Mr Young writes with me in fondest regards to you and Mrs Wallace and I remain, my dear uncle, your affectionate niece

Catharine Young

I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as possible as I am going to write to Charles and he will feel interest in all the Roshkeen news. Write fully and if George says anything of John let me know. C.Y.

I shall expect your answer in a fortnight.

His father, Donald Wallace, a native of Scotland, born in 1816, recently died in California, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He reared a family of nine children, all but one of whom are living and occupying excellent business and social positions. The youngest son, a member of Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders' regiment, lost his life in the Spanish-American war. The eldest, John D., has long been a prominent business man and a leader in Republican councils in North Dakota, and is now the county judge of Pembina county; Charles L. is editor of the leading Republican newspaper in Nassau county, at Rockville Center, also a promient operator in real estate. Albert J. and Frank S., as the firm of Wallace Bros., are at the head of large business enterprises at Los Angeles, Pasadena and elsewhere in California. Lavinia M. is the wife of R. H. Young, editor of the 'Methodist Herald,' of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Matilda H. is the wife of the Rev. James Healy, a Methodist Episcopal clergyman filling a pastorate in Southern California; and Mary A. is wife of S. Frank Johnson, a banker at Pasadena, California."

From History of Long Island, vol. III, pp. 95-96:

"Charles L. Wallace, editor of the 'South Side Observer' of Rockville Center, Long Island, was born in Ponsonby, Ontario, December 13, 1855, a son of Donald and Harriet (Lasby) Wallace. His paternal grandparents were George and Margaret Wallace, who were natives of Scotland, and his maternal grandparents were Charles and Mary Lasby, natives of England. Donald Wallace, father of Charles L. Wallace, was born in Ross-shire, Scotland, February 14, 1816, from whence he emigrated to Caracas, South America, and thence to Ontario, and he subsequently removed to Pasadena, California. He was a farmer by occupation, but was also engaged for a time as a manufacturing chemist. In 1838 he was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Lasby, who was born in London, England, in 1822; nine children were born to them, namely: John D., Lavinia M., George, Charles L., Albert J., Francis S., Matilda H., Alexander H. and Mary A. Wallace."

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):

Our first record of Bethany Church, then Methodist, was for the purchase of the lot for the Cemetery at Ponsonby. This was bought on October 3, 1843 from Oliver and Mary Lasby for 2 pounds and was three-quarters of an acre. The church trustees at that time were Hugh and Donald Wallace, Samuel Cunningham, Robert Fasken and Thomas Moore. On the tombstones in this cemetery we find names of some of the pioneer families. These include John Allen - died 1875; Joseph Hall - d 1861 aged 41 years; Thomas Howse - d 1874; Mary Peckover (Howse) - d 1855; Ann Howse (sister of Thomas) - d 1881 at 93 years,Levi Patmore-d 1872; Mary, wife of Joseph Lasby --d 1876; Joseph Lasby -d 1876, and many others. This cemetery was used until about 1888.
At that time, the Bethany Church belonged to the Elora Circuit and services were held in a log school house that was situated on the farm now owned by Stanley Steen, Lot 9, Con. 2, Pilkington Township.
The first church was built of stone and was situated on Lot 9, Con. 2 Pilkington Township on the farm now owned by Kenneth Barton (Alvin Skerritt). This property was seventy feet square and was bought from Joseph Lasby on the 13th day of February 1863 for twenty dollars. The trustees at this time were Donald and Hugh Wallace, Joseph Lasby, Thomas and Edmund Hall, Gilgian Bettchen and William Bye. The minister was Rev. R. Forman.

Owing to the nature of the land, a good foundation had not been built under this church and a new site soon had to be chosen. On the 9th of December, 1875, three-eights of an acre of land was purchased for Fifty Dollars from William Thacker and his mother Catherine, widow of John Thacker. The present church was built of red brick in 1876 with Rev. Thomas Cobb as minister and the trustees were Gilgian and Joseph Bettchen, Hugh and John D. Wallace, Donald McKay, William Bye, Charles Nicklin, William Martin, Edward and Henry Patmore Benjamin Fyfe, Henry Hall and Joseph Lasby. The corner stone of the new church was laid by Col. Charles Clarke, member of the Provincial Legislature.

SISTER OF A. J. WALLACE DIES
LONG BEACH, July 21 -- Funeral services for Mrs. Lavina Margaret Wallace Young, wife of R. H. Young, 1855 East Ocean boulevard, and a sister of A. J. Wallace, former lieutenant governor, will be held at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon from the First M. E. church. A resident of Long Beach sixteen years, Mrs. Young formerly aided her husband at Minneapolis, Minn., in editing the Midland Christian Advocate, and after coming to Southern California was in charge of the Alaska Mission. The "Lavina Wallace Young Mission for Eskimos" in Nome was named in her honor. Besides her husband she leaves a son, Attorney W. W. Young of New York City; two brothers, A. J. Wallace of Los Angeles and Frank S. Wallace of Pasadena, and two sisters, Mrs. J. C. Healy of Long Beach and Mrs. S. E. Johnson of Pasadena. She was 72 years old.

Research Notes: Her gravestone, in Sunnyside Cemetery, has her first name spelled "Lavina." The marriage record has her name "Lavinia Margret." The following book has it spelled "Lavinia." However, since her nickname was "Vinie," her first name was probably Lavina.

Research Notes: From The Record, March, 1897, Vol. 2, No. 9, p. 1:

"Hon. John D. Wallace, representative from Pembina county was among half a dozen of the best members of the house judged from every possible standpoint. He was true, active, earnest, voting with the best element of his party, voting for the best interests of the state, as he saw those interests, under all circumstances. He was in no combinations to defeat good legislation, in none to promote bad, but was honest, earnest, practical and effective in support of everything that was good and in opposition to everything that was bad. Mr. Wallace was born in Ponsonby, Wellington county, Onatio, Feb. 24, 1845, of Anglo-Scotch parentage, and was educated in the Canadian common schools. He came to the United States in 1880, and located at Drayton, Pembina county, in 1881, where he has since been engaged in farming and stock growing. He has a farm of 800 acres, mostly devoted to wheat and feeds live stock on a small scale. He was elected county commissioner in 1884 and held two successive terms, and was a member of the state board of equalization in 1895. He was elected to the legislature in 1896. His committee assignments appear elsewhere."

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):

Our first record of Bethany Church, then Methodist, was for the purchase of the lot for the Cemetery at Ponsonby. This was bought on October 3, 1843 from Oliver and Mary Lasby for 2 pounds and was three-quarters of an acre. The church trustees at that time were Hugh and Donald Wallace, Samuel Cunningham, Robert Fasken and Thomas Moore. On the tombstones in this cemetery we find names of some of the pioneer families. These include John Allen - died 1875; Joseph Hall - d 1861 aged 41 years; Thomas Howse - d 1874; Mary Peckover (Howse) - d 1855; Ann Howse (sister of Thomas) - d 1881 at 93 years,Levi Patmore-d 1872; Mary, wife of Joseph Lasby --d 1876; Joseph Lasby -d 1876, and many others. This cemetery was used until about 1888.

At that time, the Bethany Church belonged to the Elora Circuit and services were held in a log school house that was situated on the farm now owned by Stanley Steen, Lot 9, Con. 2, Pilkington Township.

The first church was built of stone and was situated on Lot 9, Con. 2 Pilkington Township on the farm now owned by Kenneth Barton (Alvin Skerritt). This property was seventy feet square and was bought from Joseph Lasby on the 13th day of February 1863 for twenty dollars. The trustees at this time were Donald and Hugh Wallace, Joseph Lasby, Thomas and Edmund Hall, Gilgian Bettchen and William Bye. The minister was Rev. R. Forman.

Owing to the nature of the land, a good foundation had not been built under this church and a new site soon had to be chosen. On the 9th of December, 1875, three-eights of an acre of land was purchased for Fifty Dollars from William Thacker and his mother Catherine, widow of John Thacker. The present church was built of red brick in 1876 with Rev. Thomas Cobb as minister and the trustees were Gilgian and Joseph Bettchen, Hugh and John D. Wallace, Donald McKay, William Bye, Charles Nicklin, William Martin, Edward and Henry Patmore Benjamin Fyfe, Henry Hall and Joseph Lasby. The corner stone of the new church was laid by Col. Charles Clarke, member of the Provincial Legislature.

Research Notes: From History of Long Island, 1903, vol. III, pp. 114-115 :

"In the modern history of Long Island is no more interesting incident than the creation of Nassau county... When the plan was first proposed it met with strenuous opposition in the territory now comprising the new county, as well as in that from which it was separated... The burden of its advocacy and of its management, from the moment of its introduction [in the legislature] to that of its enactment, devolved upon George Wallace, then a member of the legislature from the district including this county's territory. He was industrious, resourceful and tactful, and gradually he disarmed opposition, converting antagonism into friendliness, and finally accomplished success... Mr. Wallace has been bestowed, by common consent, the designation of 'Father of the County of Nassau.' He is not only conspicuous for this and other public services, but for his eminent ability as a lawyer and for the importance of the causes which have been committed to him.

"George Wallace is descended from a Scotch family which has contributed members to every honorable and useful walk of life. His father, Donald Wallace, a native of Scotland, born in 1816, recently died in California, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He reared a family of nine children, all but one of whom are living and occupying excellent business and social positions. The youngest son, a member of Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders' regiment, lost his life in the Spanish-American war. The eldest, John D., has long been a promient business man and a leader in Republican councils in North Dakota, and is now the county judge of Pembina county; Charles L. is editor of the leading Republican newspaper in Nassau county, at Rockville Center, also a promient operator in real estate. Albert J. and Frank S., as the firm of Wallace Bros., are at the head of large business enterprises at Los Angeles, Pasadena and elsewhere in California. Lavinia M. is the wife of R. H. Young, editor of the 'Methodist Herald,' of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Matilda H. is the wife of the Rev. James Healy, a Methodist Episcopal clergyman filling a pastorate in Southern California; and Mary A. is wife of S. Frank Johnson, a banker at Pasadena, California.

"George Wallace, son of Donald Wallace, passed his early boyhood upon a farm in Ontario, and later in the town of Hempstead, Long Island, where he arrived at the age of manhood. He was an ardent student from the first and supplemented his school instruction with an ample fund of general knowledge derived from persistent private reading. Before he had faIrly entered upon manhood, his scholarly attainments enabled him to acquit himself most creditably as a teacher in the schools in Lawrence, Rockville Center and Freeport. He completed a course in the law department of the University of New York, from which he was graduated with honors. He at once entered upon practice in the courts of Queens and adjoining counties, following all branches of civil law, but developing special aptitude for real estate and minicipal law, and establishing a reputation as one of the very ablest of his profession at the various bars where he appears. He has frequently served as counsel for various official boards, and in 1895 was appointed attorney of the board of supervisors of Queens county, a most responsible position, wherein his duties were weighty and exacting. He has appeared in several notable cases which are reported in volumes of decisions by higher courts, and are important as precedent cases. He carried to a successful conclusion, after it has been in the court of appears for threee and one-half years, the case of Smith vs. City of Brooklyn, which as a cause celebre is quoted in all the alw schools in the state of New York. The decision in this case, supporting the contention of Mr. Wallace, renders inoperative all previous water right legislation in New York and other states in so far as it relates to the diversion of fresh water that would otherwise flow through navigable streams.

"...He has offices at Jamaica in Queens county and at Rockville Center in Nassau county, with residence at Freeport in the new county... He is president of the Queens County Title Company, and years ago he served acceptably as justice of the peace of the town of Hempstead.

"Mr. Wallace is an enthusiastic fireman and organized the well known Ever Ready Hook and Ladder Company, of which he was foreman for many years. He is a charter member and past grand of Freeport Lodge, I. O. O. F., and also past master of Massapequa Lodge, F. & A. M. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His political affiliations are with the Republican Party, in which he is an acknowledged leader, his influence extending throughout Nassau and adjoining counties.

"Mr. Wallace was married to Miss Mariana Raynor, daughter of the late Benjamin R. Raynor, whose ancestors were the original settlers at Freeport. Two children were born of the marriage, Harriet R. and Archer B. Wallace."

Research Notes: One of the original 12 settlers who immigrated from Drayton, Ontario, Canada to the present location of Drayton, North Dakota.

From the "History of Drayton, ND" (http://draytonnd.com/living-in-drayton/history-of-drayton-nd/):
In late March 1878 a group of individuals met in Drayton, Ontario, Canada, for the purpose of planning their migration to the newly explored lands of the province of Manitoba. The decision was made to leave Drayton on April 10. The original party consisted of J. Walter Fawcett, his wife and child, Ezra Healy, his wife and child, Albert Wallace, Wesley Patmore, James Healy, Harry Wallace, and George W. Healy. This small group was joined enroute by Alexancer McCrea, and they traveled by rail to a point 12 miles east of Grand Forks, ND. They had their baggage shipped to Fisher's Landing (then the northermost end of the railway), from which they traveled on foot and wagon through the Red River Valley to Pembina, ND. Impressed with the area, they decided to stay, and A. W. McCrea, as eldest man in the company was given the right to choose the spot for a new settlement. He chose the present location of Drayton, which was eventurally named for the settlers' Canadian hometown.
Within weeks of the first settlers' arrival, at least three cabins had been erected, and prairie was broken to begin farming on each of the claims selected by members of the little colony. The population was augmented by the arrival of other individuals attracted by letters from their settler friends, including Henry Healy, Frank Wallace, Rev. Almon Healy and his wife, A. W. McCrea's family, William Mills, Frank Healy, Robert Tweedlie, Nathan Upham, James Bellamy, T. U. Henry,l Ambrose Smith, Joseph Smith and his son D. K. Smith, R. B. Richardson, Isaac Mussel, and Charles, Frank, and Richard Edwards and their mother.

"George Wallace is descended from a Scotch family which has contributed members to every honorable and useful walk of life. His father, Donald Wallace, a native of Scotland, born in 1816, recently died in California, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He reared a family of nine children, all but one of whom are living and occupying excellent business and social positions. The youngest son, a member of Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders' regiment, lost his life in the Spanish-American war. The eldest, John D., has long been a prominent business man and a leader in Republican councils in North Dakota, and is now the county judge of Pembina county; Charles L. is editor of the leading Republican newspaper in Nassau county, at Rockville Center, also a prominent operator in real estate. Albert J. and Frank S., as the firm of Wallace Bros., are at the head of large business enterprises at Los Angeles, Pasadena and elsewhere in California. Lavinia M. is the wife of R. H.

About "El Nido," the house in La Canada, from Chandlerpedia.org:
Medieval castle designed by Arthur B. Benton in 1911 for Albert Joseph Wallace (1853 '96 1939), the 25th Lieutenant Governor of California from 1911 to 1915. The house is a replica of Skibo Castle located in the highlands of Scotland and originally served as a summer retreat for Wallace, who served on the Los Angeles City Council between 1907 and 1909. He achieved great financial success through investments in real estate and oil, and was one of the prime movers in the development of the affluent West Adams district of Los Angeles at the turn of the century. As President of the Anti-Saloon League of California and a devout Methodist and teetotaler, he was selected by Hiram Wallace to be his running mate as lieutenant governor on the reform-minded Republican ticket in 1910. Wallace died at the age of 86 on 23 February, 1939 in Los Angeles, California. His burial was held at the Angelus Rosedale Cemetery located in Los Angeles, California.
The house is known locally as the "Pink Castle". It is situated behind private gates at 5455 Castle Knoll Road in La Canada-Flintridge, California.

From History of Long Island, vol. III, , pp. 95-96:

"Charles L. Wallace, editor of the 'South Side Observer' of Rockville Center, Long Island, was born in Ponsonby, Ontario, December 13, 1855, a son of Donald and Harriet (Lasby) Wallace. His paternal grandparents were George and Margaret Wallace, who were natives of Scotland, and his maternal grandparents were Charles and Mary Lasby, natives of England. Donald Wallace, father of Charles L. Wallace, was born in Ross-shire, Scotland, February 14, 1816, from whence he emigrated to Caracas, South America, and thence to Ontario, and he subsequently removed to Pasadena, California. He was a farmer by occupation, but was also engaged for a time as a manufacturing chemist. In 1838 he was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Lasby, who was born in London, England, in 1822; nine children were born to them, namely: John D., Lavinia M., George, Charles L., Albert J. Francis S., Matilda H., Alexander H. and Mary A. Wallace.

"Charles L. Wallace, third son of Donald and Harriet Wallace, acquired his education in the public schools of his native place, and at Rockwood Academy. In 1873 he came to Rockville Center, where he learned the trade of printer, and soon possessed a thorough knowledge of the art. In 1875 he bought an interest in and became the editor of the 'Sourh Side Observer,' being then but nineteen years of age, the youngest editor in New York state. He and his brother George still own the paper. In addition to this work, he began about twenty years ago in the real estate business in Rockville Center, Freeport and vicinity; this has proven very succewssful, and he has been instrumental in locating hundreds of families in the south side villages between Rockaway and Babylon. He has also sold many large tracts of land to companies, and it wsa through his efforts that Randall & Miller, who have built up Freeport, came to invest there. He established the first bank at Far Rockaway, under the name of Wallace, Smith & Company, and was also one of the organizers and is one of the directors of the Rockville Center Bank and the Freeport Bank. He assisted in the organization of the Freeport Land Company, and has served as a director and as one of the executive committee from its beginning.

"Fraternally Mr. Wallace is a Mason and Odd Fellow. He was a charter member and acted as the first treasurer of the Odd Fellows lodge of Freeport, is also a member of the Legion of Honor, of the Foresters, and the Lincoln Club; he is also a member of the Fire Department. Politically he is an adherent of the Republican party; he has never sought public favor, but has served for a number of years on the school board, and has been an examiner of the state regents school. He was selected as one of the building committee of the Methodit Episcopal Church, of Freeport, in which he and his family attend divine worship.

"October 1, 1879, at Merrick, Long Island, Mr. Wallace was united in marriage to Miss Emily E. Smith, daughter of Carman Smith, who was born on the ancestral homestead settled by the 'Rock' Smith family, whose first representatives in this country came from England to Stamford, Connecticut, and thence to Merrick in 1654. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace are the parents of two sons, Roy Smith, who is a student in Harvard, and Clyde Carman, who is attending Pratt's Institute, Brooklyn."

Frank was likely one of the early settlers in Drayton, North Dakota, after the original 12 settlers had erected some cabins and begun to farm there.

From the "History of Drayton, ND" (http://draytonnd.com/living-in-drayton/history-of-drayton-nd/):
In late March 1878 a group of individuals met in Drayton, Ontario, Canada, for the purpose of planning their migration to the newly explored lands of the province of Manitoba. The decision was made to leave Drayton on April 10. The original party consisted of J. Walter Fawcett, his wife and child, Ezra Healy, his wife and child, Albert Wallace, Wesley Patmore, James Healy, Harry Wallace, and George W. Healy. This small group was joined enroute by Alexander McCrea, and they traveled by rail to a point 12 miles east of Grand Forks, ND. They had their baggage shipped to Fisher's Landing (then the northermost end of the railway), from which they traveled on foot and wagon through the Red River Valley to Pembina, ND. Impressed with the area, they decided to stay, and A. W. McCrea, as eldest man in the company was given the right to choose the spot for a new settlement. He chose the present location of Drayton, which was eventurally named for the settlers' Canadian hometown.
Within weeks of the first settlers' arrival, at least three cabins had been erected, and prairie was broken to begin farming on each of the claims selected by members of the little colony. The population was augmented by the arrival of other individuals attracted by letters from their settler friends, including Henry Healy, Frank Wallace, Rev. Almon Healy and his wife, A. W. McCrea's family, William Mills, Frank Healy, Robert Tweedlie, Nathan Upham, James Bellamy, T. U. Henry,l Ambrose Smith, Joseph Smith and his son D. K. Smith, R. B. Richardson, Isaac Mussel, and Charles, Frank, and Richard Edwards and their mother.

Excerpts from short autobiography by Edward H. Wallace dated 4 May 1920:

"Born in a log house on a rented farm, near Ponsonby, P.O., Pilkington Tp., Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada, April 16, 1872. Children preceding, Maud, now wife of Dr. H. H. Healy, Grand Forks, North Dakota; William Havelock, executive secretary Y.M.C.A., Los Angeles. Following, Ernest Hazlewood, Attorney, New Orleans, Lewis Herbert, President First National Bank, Newport Beach, California; Charles Horace, Cashier same bank at time of death, February, 1914. In 1879 family removed to Elora [Wellington Tp, Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada], five miles distant. November 1880 to Lincoln, Nebraska residing on a farm ten miles distant until February , 1881 when removed to Drayton, North Dakota, the family exchequer consisting of $2.40. Father filed on pre-emption one mile from town to which family removed in April and mother died the next month. Three years later father returned to Canada and married Mary Larter, mother's particular friend. To this union came Gertrude, who died at the age of two years Ella Irene, in 1887 and Maxwell Raymond, 1890.

"The railroad came to Drayton in 1887. In September, 1887 went with older brother [William H. Wallace] to Hamline University, St. Paul [Minnesota], where brother had been a short time the previous year. In December father sold his land and other property at Drayton to go to Pasadena, California and go into business with his brothers Albert and Frank who had preceded him. Will and Ed joined the party in Minneapolis. Father, after arriving, decided otherwise, bought other farms at Drayton and returned in March, 1888. Will and Ed helped with the farm work and returned to Hamline in the fall. Thus they continued until they finished the preparatory course, Ed working for the Nebraska Telephone Company in Lincoln, Nebraska, for fifteen months. Both returned to Hamline and were graduated together in 1895. Both worked hard throughout the course supplementing the assistance their father could give them. The summer of [18]93 Will was conductor on street-car line in St. Paul and Ed sold papers and collected and distributed laundry at the race-track of the State Fair Grounds. In December 1895 Ed took an office position with the Amenia and Sharon Land Co. at Amenia, North Dakota, setting about diligently to learn the grain business. In 1898 he enlisted in the North Dakota regiment for Philippine service but was disqualified because of physical defect and returned to his work at Amenia. That summer he went to Prescott, Wisconsin to ask Eleanor Dill to marry him. When they were in college together he thought he loved her but went out to get started in business and learn for sure. When they found that love was mutual, things took the usual course. They became engaged July 28th and were married the following July 27th. Eleanor's Uncle, M. T. Dill, had grown old in the grain business at Prescott and, to be relieved of some of the burden, invited Wallace to join with him and two of his old-time Employees in the M. T. Dill Grain Company. This partnership was effected August 1, 1900 and continued for eight years. Here four children were born to the couple-Jean, July 10, 1900;' John Donald, July 8, 1903; Marjorie, March 23, 1905 and William Dill January 5, 1907...

"To Long Beach, California the family removed in July, 1908 where he took a position in the Exchange National Bank which had been organized by his brother Will. He was soon made Assistant Cashier and Director. From this position he went to the Marine Commercial and Savings Bank as Vice President in January, 1916. This bank was then about two years old, had deposits of $300,000, and was paying no dividends. Now it has deposits of two and a half millions, is paying ten percent and earning much more.

"Another child, Eleanor Thompson, was born into this family January 16, 1914."

Birth Notes: From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunenburg_District%2C_Ontario):
Eastern District was one of four districts of Upper Canada created in 1788 . It comprised the St. Lawrence-Quebec border area, now eastern Ontario. It was originally named Lunenburg District, likely for the Brunswick-Lüneburg , but was renamed in 1792. It was abolished in 1849.
The district was originally bounded to the west by a line running north from the mouth of the Gananoque River and to the east by Lower Canada . The district town was New Johnstown, later renamed Cornwall . In 1798, the district was reorganized to consist of the counties of:
Dundas
Glengarry
Ontario (abolished in 1800)
Prescott
Russell
Stormont
In 1849, the district was replaced by the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry .

Three years later father returned to Canada and married Mary Larter, mother's particular friend. To this union came Gertrude, who died at the age of two years; Ella Irene, in 1887 and Maxwell Raymond, 1890.

The railroad came to Drayton in 1887. In September, 1887 went with older brother [William H. Wallace] to Hamline University, St. Paul [Minnesota], where brother had been a short time the previous year. In December father sold his land and other property at Drayton to go to Pasadena, California and go into business with his brothers Albert and Frank who had preceded him. Will and Ed joined the party in Minneapolis. Father, after arriving, decided otherwise, bought other farms at Drayton and returned in March, 1888. Will and Ed helped with the farm work and returned to Hamline in the fall. Thus they continued until they finished the preparatory course, Ed working for the Nebraska Telephone Company in Lincoln, Nebraska, for fifteen months. Both returned to Hamline and were graduated together in 1895. Both worked hard throughout the course supplementing the assistance their father could give them. The summer of [18]93 Will was conductor on street-car line in St. Paul and Ed sold papers and collected and distributed laundry at the race-track of the State Fair Grounds. In December 1895 Ed took an office position with the Amenia and Sharon Land Co. at Amenia, North Dakota, setting about diligently to learn the grain business. In 1898 he enlisted in the North Dakota regiment for Philippine service but was disqualified because of physical defect and returned to his work at Amenia. That summer he went to Prescott, Wisconsin to ask Eleanor Dill to marry him. When they were in college together he thought he loved her but went out to get started in business and learn for sure. When they found that love was mutual, things took the usual course. They became engaged July 28th and were married the following July 27th. Eleanor's Uncle, M. T. Dill, had grown old in the grain business at Prescott and, to be relieved of some of the burden, invited Wallace to join with him and two of his old-time Employees in the M. T. Dill Grain Company. This partnership was effected August 1, 1900 and continued for eight years. Here four children were born to the couple-Jean, July 10, 1900; John Donald, July 8, 1903; Marjorie, March 23, 1905 and William Dill January 5, 1907.

In Prescott Wallace took an active part in civic matters, having been the first public librarian of the City, the first Secretary of the Commercial Club, Alderman for his ward and, being President of the Council, acting mayor for some weeks on the resignation of the mayor. He was active as Trustee in the Methodist Church and kept up an active interest in alumni circles of his Alma Mater. He was President of the Alumni Association for a term, the first member of the Hamline University Board of turstees [sic] to be selected by the Alumni. At the insistence of the President he held this office after his removal to the Pacific Coast.

To Long Beach, California the family removed in July, 1908 where he took a position in the Exchange National Bank which had been organized by his brother Will. He was soon made Assistant Cashier and Director. From this position he went to the Marine Commercial and Savings Bank as Vice President in January, 1916. This bank was then about two years old, had deposits of $300,000, and was paying no dividends. Now it has deposits of two and a half millions, is paying ten percent and earning much more.

Another child, Eleanor Thompson, was born into this family January 16, 1914.

Wallace has taken a lively interest in civic affairs in Long Beach. He was a member of the East Side Improvement Association Committee that put through the purchase by the City of the two existing water companies that were giving very inferior service; he was elected to the freeholders' Committee which framed the City Charter of 1914, was four years a member of the School Board serving as Vice President and President. In Long Beach he has continued his activities in church work and several benevolent organizations. During the war he was successively private and corporal in the home-guards resigning when ordered by the surgeon to do so.
