The following excerpt from a story printed June 7, 1992 in the York Observer column, "Nearby History," column by Louise Pettus is about the family of Capt. George D. Wallace (subject of John Mackintosh's article above). Alexander S. Wallace was Capt. George Wallace's father and Robert M., his older brother.
Alexander S. Wallace was born in 1810 in York District, the son of McCaslan Wallace who had been born on the Atlantic ocean in 1772.The Wallaces were immigrants from County Antrim, Ireland and, though late-comers, were part of the great Scots-Irish immigration that populated so much of York, Lancaster and Chester counties. McCaslan had two older brothers to die fighting the English in the American Revolution.
The Wallaces settled on Turkey Creek in York District. Alexander became a planter like his father. He married Nancy Ratchford in 1833 and they had 6 children,4 daughters and 2 sons.
In the 1850s Wallace served six years in the South Carolina legislature. As talk of secession increased, Wallace spoke vigorously against the folly of it all. Nevertheless, he was a slave-holder (the 1850 census showed him owning 4). When the war broke out, Wallace retired to his farm.
The oldest son, Robert M., born in 1837, graduated from Erskine College in 1858 and went to work as an apprentice lawyer for Melton & Melton of Yorkville. He was admitted to the bar in 1860 but never practiced. When the Civil War broke out, Robert Wallace joined Confederate forces, but unlike the typical enlistee, he did not join any of the local companies that were being formed. Instead, he went to Texas and enlisted as a private in Terry's Texas rangers.
Robert Wallace was in numerous battles and skirmishes in Tennessee and Kentucky, wounded twice, and taken prisoner by Federal forces in January 1864.
In 1865 Alexander S. Wallace was again elected to the South Carolina legislature and served about one year until he was appointed by the United States government as collector of internal revenue. He held that office until 1869 and resigned after his election to the U.S. Congress as a Republican in 1868. Robert M. Wallace, the ex-Confederate, was appointed to fill his father's vacancy. It was almost unheard of to have a Confederate appointed to a federal office. In 1872 Robert was appointed U.S. Marshall for the district of South Carolina and remained in that position until 1881.

Later, Robert M. Wallace moved to Sumter and became the vice-president of Sumter Cotton Mills. Next, he was president of the Sumter Electric Light Co. He died in 1902.. . .
Alexander S. Wallace died June 27, 1893. The lengthy inscription on his tombstone tells of his public service and concludes: "... .He filled these positions with marked ability and left to his family the proud heritage of an unsullied name. A good citizen, a consistent Christian, a friend of the poor, his deeds will not be forgotten."
Family lore recounted by Lt. Col. Charles C. McAliley has it that Robert's employees from one of his companies brought wire to lay the telephone connection to his sister's rural farm. As Mary Rebecca Wallace McAliley shows as a listing in the first Chester County, SC telephone book this story is partially confirmed.
His son was by another woman.
