Notes about William Wallace:
"Weymouth Wallace, father of Samuel who settled
on Wallace Hill, was one of the early settlers of Sandwich. He was a Scotchman,
who came to the colonies before the Revolution, settled in Londonderry and
entered the army from Epsom where he was working. He fought and was wounded at
the battle of Bunker Hill as a private in Capt. Dearborn's company. After the
War, he came to Sandwich and settled near Squam Lake, on the farm where Samuel
was born. He received a pension for his military service from New Hampshire from
1776 to 1783, and thereafter, from the United States until his death." [Note:
This passage, drafted in the early twentieth century is not entirely accurate,
in that Weymouth Wallace was born in New Hampshire, not Scotland, as implied]

2. Samuel WALLACE Senior. Born abt 1785 in Epsom, New Hampshire. Samuel died in Holderness, New Hampshire on 25 Sep 1859, he was 74.
Samuel and Nancy
Wallace are enumerated on 19 Jul 1850 in Sandwich, Carroll, New Hampshire.
Samuel values his real estate at $1200. Interestingly, there are Wallace
families listed immediately before and after him (Joseph and Andrew). They are
probably also his sons.
"The first of the Wallace family to settle in the
Notch was Samuel, who acquired a farm of about 400 acres, and built a good set
of buildings, consisting of a house with arched shed for wood and two barns.
Pasturage was good, and the farm always had a large stock. On the farm is the
lonely grave of his eleven-year-old daughter Elizabeth, who died of scarlet
fever. Here also lived Asahel Wallace, who is said to have remained until after
his marriage to Caroline Tappan when they moved over the Sandwich line into
Thornton, there buying a farm from his older brother George, who moved to Mad
River. Probably then was about the time the farm on Wallace Hill was abandoned,
for the County Map shows no occupant in 1860.
While Asahel and Caroline
Wallace were living in Thornton, there were born to them four children. In
December of 1866 or 1867, Asahel Wallace bought from John Beede the place on the
Intervale, and moved his family down on snow. The household goods, or enough to
supply the family overnight, were packed on a sled, 25 head of cattle ran on
ahead, horses followed loose, and mother with four children, one of them
(Marcellus) a babe in her arms, came in a sleigh. After moving back to Sandwich,
seven more children were born.
Caroline (Tappan) Wallace, mother of these
eleven children, found time for much outside work. She became intensely
interested in the temperance movement which was then gaining momentum, and was
elected president of the county organization, and traveled much about the state
lecturing for the cause. At the end of her term of office she was sent as a
delegate to the National Convention held at St. Louis, Missouri. She is
remembered as a ready speaker and able writer, who spent her last years at
Concord."
