Research Notes
This family needs valid records such as wills added.
Many things thought to be true during the 1900s and earlier concerning Peter Wallace were proved wrong because there were two men named Peter Wallace and their data was entwined. Peter Wallace was not Peter Wallace junior, son of Peter Wallace senior and Elizabeth Woods of York Co, VA and was never listed as "Peter junior" in his Maryland, Pennsylvania or Virginia records.
Most of what is in online trees is actually about the Peter Wallace of York Co and was based on either George Selden Wallace's book about the descendants of Peter Wallace and Martha Woods or on the earlier Woods lines' histories published by cousins Neander and Edgar Woods. George Selden Wallace, Worth Ray in "Tennessee Cousins," and other authors seized on the less common name of Peter and linked Peter Wallace of Augusta Co, VA with the line of the unrelated Peter Wallace who emigrated from eastern Scotland to York Co, VA in 1650 and who did have a son Peter.
George Selden Wallace's son found no documentation in his father's records for his father's claim of Peter Wallace being the son of a Peter. Thus, Wilma Maie Wallace-Fabos (1922-1987) employed a British research organization in the mid-1970s to confirm or change the earliest Wallace generations as George Selden Wallace had noted them; the report indicated Peter Wallace and his brothers were not children of another Peter Wallace. Thus the Find a Grave data is incorrect.
