Jennet Wallace m. Thomas Willson 1786 Rockbridge
I am having trouble placing a Wallace-Jennet-into the proper family. I have always read that Peter Wallace Jr. and Martha Woods had a daughter Janet who married John Beard Jan.1, 1769 in Augusta County, Virginia. Janet and John both died in Greenbrier, West Virginia. All of this checks out nicely. John died in 1808. My problem comes in with ANOTHER Jennet Wallace who has her father listed as Peter Wallace deceased on her Aug. 2, 1786 marriage bonds. She had a guardian John Wallace. Now, not only would Janet #1 be committing bigamy, but at 38 I think she was a wee bit long in the tooth for a guardian. So who was this Peter Wallace and who was this Jennet? The marriage in question is between Thomas Willson and Jennet Wallace on 8-2-1786 in Rockbridge. Edward Crawford was the minister. The groom's parents were not listed.
I appreciate any help. I think there are several unaccounted for families of Wallaces inthat time period in Rockbridge.Christine
