Wallace.
A muster roll of Capt. McClellan's company of Col. Wells' regiment of nine months' reeruits, 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.
