THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
THE WALLIS FAMILY By Lucy Sessions Wallace.
The Wallis family, whose history is so closely interwoven with the founding and development of the town, has continued to the seventh generation but none of this name are now residents of Holland, though many are living in New England.
The pioneer of this family, David 1st, came to Brimfield, from Woodstock, Ct., in 1755, with wife Mary, four sons, and two negro slaves. His origin seems impossible to trace, though family tradition says he was born in Scotland.
The first record concerning him is found in the "Vital Records of Woodstock," and reads: "Marriage intention be- tween David Wallis of Woodstock, and Mary Anderson of Brim- field, entered Apr. 5, 1729.
The "Town Records" show that he served as Constable, and in other minor offices, and that he took the "Freeman's Oath" on Apr. 13, 1752. He was aetive in church affairs, and on page 32, of the "Church Records" is found an interesting account of a "Church Council" which sat in judgment upon an accusation of "scandalous speaking" brought against him by a deacon of the church. The Council found that "the charge was not substantiated" and "the church voted the sum of 2€ 5s. 0 p. to pay Wallis for a part of the expenses of the council."
The "Land Records" show him to have been a man of good- ly possessions. He recorded ten sales of lands, between the dates Oct. 10, 1744, and Jan. 10, 1759, two being for 5000€ and 3000€ respectively.
The first record connecting David 1st with Brimfield is found in the Mass. Archives, Book 94, P. 45. This shows the "Service at Crown Point, during the French and Indian war of Ensign David Wallis who enlisted in Capt. Ebenezer Moul- tons' Co. from Brimfield."
He was a member of Congregation of "The First Meeting- house of Brimfield," according to an allotment of seats, on Mar. 13, 1758.
While in Woodstock, he owned four slaves, the marriage of "Samuell" to Leah, servants of David Wallis, being recorded in 1749. This was "Sam Dearing" the negro servant, who enlisted
687
THE WALLIS FAMILY
in the same company with his master from Brimfield. Other records say that Sam'll Dearing served the family for many years, living to be 102 years old. That he occupied a place of trust is evidenced by his quoted opinion of the neighboring farm- ers, who, he claimed, "did not treat him with sufficient re- spect."
The new home of David Ist was established in what became Holland in 1755, on the Brimfield road, on the east bank of the Quinneboag just south of the bridge, where, facing the western hills and the fertile meadows watered by the slow flowing river, he built the first blacksmith shop, and later the first frame house erected in the town. The original immense, square hewn timbers of solid oak are in service today, in the former homestead of the late William S. Wallis (erected about 200 yds. north of the original site) which is now owned by James Roberts.
This farm was occupied in turn by David 1st, his elder son Jonathan, the 2nd son Thomas (Dr.) a great grandson John, and finally by the great grandson, William S., who owned it until 1894.
One of the ancient stones in the No. East corner of the Holland cemetery bears this inscription, "Mary wife of David Wallis, died june ye 18th 1776," in her 68th year.

Left a widow at 21, she removed to Holland on horse- back, through the wild unsettled country, bearing in her arms her only child David 3rd who became as a younger son in the home of his grandfather David 1st.

He was chosen a member of a local "Court of Jus- tice and Honor" in 1774, Selectman in 1777, and was the first Town Treasurer chosen July 24, 1783, just after it became the "District of Holland." He was a member of the first Congre- gational Church of Brimfield in 1758.
7. Dr. Thomas Wallis2, b. Oct. 3, 1743, in Woodstock. He became the first practising physician in 1786. He lived first in the south part of the town, and later at the old homestead.
He was a man of education, and of advanced ideas, and ac- cording to records of 1792, he advocated "innoculation for pre- vention of small pox," much to the alarm of his townsmen. He was still a resident in 1793. Probably removed. (See his biography.)
In a record of "Early Settlers" is also found the names of Ebenezer Wallis of West district, in 1728, and of Isaac of Brimfield, in 1756, but no data are found, connecting these names with the family of David, of Woodstock.

He served as Town Clerk in 1789, and as Selectman nearly 16 years in succession.

Sept. 19, 1897; both are buried in Spring- field; she was a descendant of Capt. Anthony and Fifer David Needham, who served in the Revolutionary War (See Mass. Archives Vols. 13 and 24), and was a woman of rare health and strength ; wise, self-sacrificing and devoted, her noble Christian character will ever remain an inspiration to her descendants; this family lived in Wales 8 years, where four children were born; and finally settled upon the original homestead of David 1st where also the parents, Esquire John and Lucy, spent their declining years.
Here his large family grew to an unusually vigorous matur- ity; all are living and with two exceptions, reside in New Eng- land.
William Wallace was a man of active habits, a good neigh- bor, and a public spirited citizen always earnest for the welfare of his little town. He was chosen selectman in 1873, and during the following 20 years served as Assessor, Constable, Clerk, and in other minor offices; he enlarged and improved the old farm, until failing health compelled his removal to Springfield in 1894, when the Wallis homestead passed into other hands.
