General Notes: Husband - Robert Wallace


This family was among the earliest pioneers to the Conestoga Valley, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. About the middle of the eighteenth century, he and his wife emigrated from Scotland, and settled in that part of the valley that lay in Lancaster County. He became one of the organizing members of the Cedar Grove Presbyterian Church, of East Earle Township, Lancaster County, as early, probably, as 1775, and his name appears on a subscription paper, dated March 1, 1790, in which article he agrees to contribute ten pounds a year for the support of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Robert Smith. It was on his property, in the vicinity of what was called Blue Ball, that Mr. Smith first preached the Gospel to this congregation, from a platform erected under the forest trees.
