-------------------- Mary Ann Wallace was a descendant to the family of Sir William Wallace, and it was her property by birth, and transferred to her husband upon marriage, that the British Crown confiscated in Renfrewshire, Scotland.

When the family property was confiscated by the English Crown, John and Mary Ann took refuge in Ireland. They left Renfrew County, Scotland, in 1748, and lived in Ireland until 1752, at which time they arrived in America and settled in Frederick County, Virginia. They stayed in Frederick County until 1776, when they went to Orange County, Virginia. In 1770, they moved to Hacker's Creek, Harrison County, Virginia (a portion of that county is now Lewis County, West Virginia), to be near their oldest daughter, Margaret Hacker (Sleeth ) and her family.

John Sleeth was a lieutenant on the Ohio-West Virginian Frontier during the Revolutionary War.
