MARGARET "PEG" SCHORFHEIDE

whose web site we raided the other week and the other year before that and who descends from Hannah Porter Wallace daughter of Lt. William and Ruth Porter Wallace, and her husband and first cousin once removed William D. Porter, which ultimately makes this line of closer kin to the Porter-Wallace descendants than other lines without the second Porter lineage.



I have sent Peg a copy of the links I sent to Blanche Wallace copied from links I sent to the member before that. If anyone wants this set of links just post below or write Oliver.Wall(XXXXX@XXXX.XXX) where most of my Wallace material is meant to be archived, as well as at our two sites.

Msg from Blanche Wallace 9 Jul 2009:
I found indication of a will in William Wallace's Rev War Pension File (#8980) via Heritage Quest. There is an "Application for a New Certificate" dated 14 Nov 1849 where this statement appears: "Joseph Wallace the qualified administrator of the estate of Ruth Wallace, dec'd, Pensioner of the United States ....". I've requested a complete copy of the Pension File from the United States Archives, but that can take up to 6 months to receive.
