That could be true since there are many unrelated St Clair families in Scotland as well as there are many unrelated Wallace families in Scotland. Let face it, Scotland is full of unrelated Wallace and St Clair families.
But just in case, here is the DAR record
General Arthur St Clair married Phoeby Bayard
Their daughter Elizabeth St Clair married Captain Sam Vance
Their daughter Margaret Vance married Lazarus Nobel
Their Daughter Margaret Nobel married Lew Wallace Jr
son of Union General Lew Wallace and Susan Arnold Elstor.
Small World
General Arthur St Clair is buried in Greensburg PA which is about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh.The Wallace family is buried with Col John Gibson who's grandmother was Anne St Clair the great aunt of General Arthur St Clair. Col Gibson's daughter married George Wallace.
The Gibson and Wallace families are buried in Sec 2 lots 1 and 2 at Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh and connected to George Croghan if you can believe the Horn Papers.That would make them related to or connected to Christopher Gist and the Gratz family of Philadelphia.
Then anohter Wallace family is buried with Reade Washington married to Elizabeth Crawford.The Washington and Wallace families of Reade Washington are buried about 100 yards from Col John Gibson at Allegheny Cemetery. Reade Washington was blood related to George Washington and Meriwether Lewis.That is about as Virginia Families as you can get.
Pittsburgh was part of Augusta County VA in the 1700's.Again lots of unrelated Gibson, Wallace, St Clair, Lewis and Washington families in Pittsburgh all buried together because of the lack of space in Pittsburgh in the mid 1700's.
