It is possible that her father could have also given her land
inEdgecombe Co.
about 1805 when she and John married, although I haven't found
arecord to
back that up. (He did that for sister Frances Taylor and William
B.Cherry.)

John & Delilah moved to Stewart Co, TN abt 1818 to be near his family.
According to the family records of Donald M. Wallace, Marion, IN,
shewas

Next John and Delilah moved to Trigg Co, KY, abt 1830.
There is one land record in Trigg Co, KY for John Wallace, in Book
H,p. 274, a
Mortgage from John Wallace to his older son William Wallace,

owed William $100. with interest from the 1st day of Sep 1841 and
duethe
6th day of Jan 1843, so John sold William 50 barrels of corn to
begathered and
cribbed, one cow and calf and 15 head of hogs. Witness by son Caswell
Wallace.
Note: According to direct desc. Edgar Wallace of Riverside, CA,
JohnWallace
was probably a blacksmith by trade, as well as a farmer.
It is not known where John Wallace died or when. Some members of

thesmallpox in
