John Wallace was born in Virginia and reared in Kentucky. In 1811 he came to 
Wayne County, Ind., and selected land in Washington Township, which was 
settled by his father's family in 1813. He entered three quarter-sections of 
land, a part of which is now owned by Oliver Wallace. He was married in 1815 
to Mary, daughter of Adam Banks, who came from Kentucky to Wayne County, Ind., 
about 1813. To them were born twelve children, nine of whom survive---Oliver, 
Cyrus, John, William, Preston, Sarah (Wallace) Wright, Richard, Emily 
(Wallace) Williams and Allen. James, Stephen and an infant daughter are 
deceased. Mr. Wallace was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was successful in 
business and accumulated a large property. He died Sept. 23, 1842, aged sixty-
two years. His wife survived till Feb. 27, 1867, and died at the age of sixty-
eight years. Our subject’s father, John Wallace, Sr., was a native of 
Virginia, and was well advanced in years when he came to this county, where he 
died about 1820. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war and adhered to the 
doctrines of the Presbyterian church.
