Thomas Wallace came from Delaware in 1781, purchased the upper half of the 
McCreery homestead, and died on it in 1799.  His children were Matthew, David, 
Josiah, John, Benjamin, Joseph, Thomas, Polly and Nancy.  This was originally 
the old Wallace burying ground.  The Wallaces originally owned 3,500 acres of 
the land here.  In later years when this land was sold off it was turned into a 
public cemetery.
