History of Maries County, Missouri by Everett Marshall King, 1963; courtesy Judi Rupe:
p.671-673
"William C. Wallace, who seems to have been the only son of the Wallace family to come to this county, was born in Tennessee. His parents were early day settlers in the north part of Crawford County, where he grew to manhood and where he was married on May 2, 1839, to Elizabeth Ridenhour by Mark D. Spain, Justice of the Peace of Gasconade County. His wife, born August 1, 1813, was a sister of the John Sartain Ridenhour elsewhere mentioned in this chapter, but their relationship to the other Ridenhours who settled here is not known. The generally accepted legend is that they were cousins to John Ridenhour, and also cousins to Elizabeth Bell; the latter may have been a sister of John Ridenhour, and, again, may have been his cousin. We do not know.

The young Wallaces lived for a time on Wallace Creek in present Crawford County, but moved to this county in early life and spent the rest of their lives here. His activities included lumbering on Piney and conducting a store in the east end of this county, his partner being E. J. Sorrell, later of Bloomington. He and Sorrell also served as First and Second Lieutenants in Captain Matthews' company of Home Guards during the Civil War, but they saw little service outside of a few miles from home. Mrs. Wallace died some years before her husband, who later married Laura, widow of John C. Wallace of Lanes Prairie (no relation). All have been dead many years, as have also all of the eight children born of this marriage who lived to maturity. They were: Martelia, Julia, Melcena, Sarah, Barney, James, John, and David Wallace.

Martelia married Thomas Willoughby; both are dead, as one of their sons, Lawrence, who married Lennie Thompson, and is survived by one son, Ava, who now lives in Ohio. The living children are: William, George, and John Willoughby in the state of Washington; Sally, wife of Ed Pohl of near St. James; and Jacob Willoughby of this County.

Julia married George Baster(Baxter-Judi Rupe); both are dead, as well as one of their sons, Emmett, who married Laura Palmer and died leaving four children, two sons and two daughters, whose names have not been received. The other two sons, Albert and William, live near Belle; the only daughter, Vinie, wife of Robert McGillis, lives at Kirkwood.

Melcena married Stephen R. Atkins, and only one of their four children, Rilda, wife of Sen Palmer, lives in this state, having lived in Shannon County for a number of years. James C. Atkins lives at Mammoth Springs, Arkansas, and the other two children, Charlotte and Alfred, also live in that state, the latter having long been identified with college work.

Sarah Wallace married John B. Sewell, and her descendants are noted under that name.

James Wallace married Jane Romine and lived in Shannon County for some years. One of his sons, Roy, now lives at Ink, and a daughter, Zella, in(sic) the wife of the present county Collecter there. The other four children are: Walter in Oklahoma, Clarence and William, both in Idaho, and John in California.

David Wallace married Alice Wideman. He lived near Red Bird after his marriage until his death early in manhood, after which the widow and children lived in St. Louis for many years. It is thought there were three children, Bernice and Angeline, whose married names are not known here, and a son, Roy, who married Ophelia Moore and died in St. Louis leaving one daughter, Ruth Ray Wallace, now in Gary, Indiana.

John Wallace married Hannah Backues, nee Keeney, and both have been dead several years. Their two sons, Charles and Frank, live at Belle; a daughter, Belle, married Virgil Ousley and lives at Eldon. The other daughter, Blanche, wife of Jack Wills, lives at Burbank, California.

F. B. (Barney) [Barnabas--Judi Rupe] Wallace, the remaining child of William C. and Elizabeth Wallace, married Josephine Dessieux of Linn and was the father of twelve children, of whom one died in infancy and Claude died single. Another son, Thomas, is also dead leaving one son, Herbert, now in Kansas City. The living children are: E. A. (Gus), present Representative of the county; Laura L., widow of Jasper Love of Kansas City; Garrett; Lewis; Robert; Ony W.; and May, wife of Amos Shockley, under which name her descendants are listed.

The only known brother of William G.(sic) Wallace, Frank, lived in Phelps County but has not been heard from in something like fifty years.
[who is Frank?? William C.'s brothers were Richard H. and James A.; his father was Francis but he died in Gasconade County in 1846--rjs]
