Revision of Wallace's Genealogy from Tue, 2010-12-14 11:40

By George Beccaloni 

Below is the most detailed account so far published of the dates of the births and deaths of all of Wallace's close relatives. Most of the information was taken from three pages of hand-written notes in a 1723 prayer-book, which had been owned by Wallace's grandfather, and which has been passed down through the Wallace family and is still owned by them. The original pages can be seen HERE, HERE and HERE.
