Biography

John Lewis Wallace was born on 11 May 1836 in Tennessee; he was the son of Abraham McClellen Wallace and Mary Ann Heartsill.[1] Note: the death certificate for John Lewis Wallace incorrectly states his birth year as "1847", rather than 1836. However, the death certificate states that, at his time of death (22 Mar 1919), he was aged 82 years, 10 months, 11 days. This corresponds to a birth date of 11 May 1836.

In 1840,[2] John Wallace's father, Abraham Wallace, was enumerated in the 1840 census with the following persons in his household (age range in years): a) males - 2 (<5), 1 (30 - 40); b) females - 1 (5 - 10), 1 (15 - 20), 1 (30 - 40). Based on John Wallace's enumeration in the 1850 census,[3], then John and his younger brother Hiram would have been in the 1840 census[2] the 2 males under 5 years of age.

In 1850,[3] John McClellen [sic] (age 13, born Tennessee) was living in Blount County, Tennessee in the household of his father, Abraham McClellen (age 40, born Tennessee), with his mother, Mary McClellen (age 37, born Tennessee), and his McClellen siblings, all born in Tennessee (age, sex): i) Hyram (11, M), ii) Mary (9, F), iii) Nancy (6, F), iv) Hannah (4, F). Note: the surname "Wallace" is not recorded in this 1850 census enumeration, but all the other details are consistent with this record being for the family of Abraham McClellen Wallace.

On 19 Apr 1858 in Knox County, Tennessee,[4] John L. Lewis posted a marriage bond $1250 for his intended marriage to Mary C. Williams, which marriage presumably occurred on or about 19 Apr 1858.[5]

In 1860,[6] John L. Wallace (age 23, born Tennessee) was living in Anderson County, Tennessee as head of household with his wife, Mary C. Wallace (age 22, born Tennessee), and their sole child, Martha E. Wallace (age 1, born Tennessee). John's occupation was a farmer. Immediately preceding the enumeration of John L. Wallace & family was the enumeration for his father, A. M. Wallace, with his mother, Mary A. Wallace, and his Wallace siblings. Hence, John L. Wallace & his family were living near, if not next to, John's parents & siblings.

In 1870,[7] John Wallace (age 33, born Tennessee) was living in Anderson County, Tennessee in the household of his father, McCLealen [sic] Wallace (age 60, born Tennessee), and his mother, Mary A. Wallace (age 56, born Tennessee), and John's wife, Mary C. Wallace (age32, born Tennessee), and John & Mary's Wallace children, all born in Tennessee (age, sex): i) Martha E. (10, F), ii) William (8, M), iii) Sarah A. (6, F), iv) Deliah (5, F), v) Columbus (3, M). Also, in the household was John's brother, Abraham A. Wallace (19, M), and Louiza Wallace (21, F); also in the household were Elizabeth Perry (49, F) and Eliza Perry (7, F).

In 1880,[8] John L. Wallace (age 43, born Tennessee) was living in Anderson County, Tennessee as head of household with his wife, Mary C. Wallace (age 41, born Tennessee), and his Wallace children, all born in Tennessee (age, sex): i) Martha E. (20, F), ii) William A. (19, M), iii) Sarah A. (17, F), iv) Deliah J. (14, F), v) Columbus L. (12, M), vi) Hiram H. (9, M), vii) Joseph M. (6, M), viii) Mary A. (3, F), ix) John (1/12, M); and his widowed mother, Mary A. Wallace (age 66). John's occupation was a farmer.

In 1900,[9] John L. Wallace (age 63, born Mar 1837, Tennessee) was living in Anderson County, Tennessee as head of household with his wife of 42 years, Mary C. Wallace (age 61, born Aug 1838, Tennessee), and their son, Columbus L. Wallace (age 32, born Jul 1867, Tenn.). John's occupation was a farmer; he owned his home free of a mortgage. John and Mary had had 10 children, 7 of whom were currently living.

In 1910,[10] John Wallace (age 72, born Tennessee, widowed) was living on 1507 Marion Street, 8th District, Knox County, Tennessee as head of household. Living next to John on 1509 Marion Street was his son, Columbus Wallace (age 42, born Tennessee, widowed), with Columbus' son, Marshall Wallace (age 2, born Tennessee) and Columbus' niece, Katherine SCruggs (18, single). John Wallace had no occupation listed; Columbus Marshall's occupation was a clerk in a grocery store.

John Lewis Wallace died on 22 Mar 1919 in Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee.[1] The cause of death was chronic nephritis. His death certificate states that his parents were Abraham Wallace and Mary Ann Heartsill. The informant for the death certificate was W. A. Wallace, who was probably his son.
