====== Wallace Family ======
Patrick Wallace (1755-1840) and his wife Nancy Tull (1758-1854) owned property in the [[big_bone|Big Bone]] area of [[Boone County]], as well as, [[petersburg|Petersburg]]. Some descendants claim Wallace and Tull were from Ireland, but early Kentucky military records show a Patrick Wallace serving in Price's Battalion of Kentucky Mounted Volunteers in 1794. According to Kentucky Tax Records, by [[1800]], a Patrick Wallace is living in Woodford County, Kentucky. Subsequent census records show Patrick Wallace living in Boone County from 1810 to 1840 when he died.
A History of [[big_bone_baptist_church|Big Bone Baptist Church]] states that "General Wallace" sold five acres and donated an additional two acres for the establishment of the church in [[1843]].((History of Big Bone Baptist Church 1843-1943, page 4.)) In his [[1840]] will, Patrick Wallace left his 200 acres, plus Petersburg lots to his son John, his youngest daughter Mary M. [[Garrison family|Garrison]] and a dower for his wife Nancy. Since Patrick was deceased in 1943, presumably General Wallace refers to Patrick's son John.
