WALLACE. WALLIS.
1. JAMES WALLIS, by occupation a weaver and a farmer, was one of the colony of Scotch-Irish emigrants who gathered at Worcester, Mass., 1718, and a few years following. His homestead of forty acres was in the adjoining town of Leicester, and in an ancient deed " it bounds on Worcester." In 1758, while in the possession of a son, the little farm was annexed to Worcester. James Wallis had a brother, Oliver, a wheelwright, who probably died about 1735, and an unmarried sister, Sarah. He d. in Leicester in 1746, or early in 1747. The widow, Mary, declined administration on the estate, and alleged that he had then no relatives in this country. She requested the appointment of Hugh Thompson. She subsequently had a home with her son James, and d. in Colrain, Mass., in Feb. 1769, aged 70 years.

At this date he removed to the paternal homestead, which on his petition, dated 1757, was annexed to Worcester, 1758. In 1760 he removed to Colrain, Mass. He was a deacon, a prominent man in town affairs, and a soldier in the Revolution, serving several enlistments. In a de- scriptive roll dated 1780, he is described : " Age, 46 years ; stature, 5 ft. 5 in. ; complexion, light." A record of his death is not acces- sible. His wife d. in Colrain, June 12, 1800, aged 66. So far as known his children were, -

A muster roll of Capt. Mcclellan's company of Col. Wells' regiment of nine months' recruits, in 1777, designates John, the father, as fol- lows : " John Wallis, Colrain, stature, 5 ft. 6 in. ; hair, gray ; age, 41." There is a tradition cherished by his descendants that at the age of sixty years he came to New Hampshire with four of his children, and subsequently died in Franconia. The records of Franconia neither deny nor confirm the tradition. The records of Colrain are defective. It is possible there were other children, and if so, it remains to be proven. Four children came to New Hampshire, and are named in order. Later generations have written the name Wallace.
