Wallace. Rev. James(1) Wallace was born in Error, Perthshire, Scotland 1667, and died in Elizabeth City county, Va., at his home, "Erroll," on Back River, Nov. 3, 1712. His tombstone,* bearing his coat-of- arms, is still to be seen there. He served for twenty-one years as minister of Elizabeth City, and practiced physic also. He married Anne, widow first of Quintilian Gutherick, and second of Thomas Wythe (son of Thomas Wythe, the emigrant), grandfather of George Wythe. Rev. James Wallace obtained July 11, 1695, a license to marry Anne , and their issue were, (1) Euphan, born in 1696, and died April 22, 1717, widow of Capt. Wilson Roscow, and first wife of Col. William Dandridge; (2) Anne, who married Col.

Westwood. Worlich(1) Westwood was a resident of Elizabeth City county, in 1695, and kept an ordinary in Hampton Town. He was doubtless a son of James Westwood, mentioned in the York records as deceased in 1660. His grandfather was doubtless William Woolly, or Worlich, or Worledge, or Woolritch, of Elizabeth City county, who came to Virginia in the Bona Nova in 1622, aged fifteen, and in 1625 was inthe employment of Francis Chamberlin of Elizabeth City (Hotten's List of Emigrants to America). William Worlich was a member of the House of Burgesses for Elizabeth City in 1644, 1649, 1654, and 1659, and perhaps other years. He had the title of lieutenant-colonel of the militia of Elizabeth City county. His supposed grandson, Worlich Westwood, married Elizabeth, daughter of William Naylor. He died before 1702, when the widow, Elizabeth, married Charles Jenings, Jr. Worlich Westwood had, at least, one child, (1) Mary, by this marriage, mentioned in the will of William Naylor, and two other children; (2) Elizabeth, who married Col. Anthony Armistead; (3) William Westwood. This last married Mary (mentioned in a deed in 1728), who appears to have been a daughter of Rev. James Wallace and Anne his wife, for the latter (Anne Wallace) in her will (proved in 1740) speaks of her grandchildren, Mary Westwood and James Westwood. He was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1736, 1748 and 1752. His will was proved in May 1770. He had issue, (1) William(2), who studied at William and Mary College in 1759; (2) Worlich, member of County Committee in 1775, conventions of 1774, 1775 and 1788, member House of Delegates, etc; (3) Mary, who married Col. Robert Armistead, of Louisa county; (4) Elizabeth, who married Capt. James Wallace, grandson of Rev. James Wallace, of "Erroll," on Back River; (5) Martha, (6) James, who married Elizabeth, and had Capt. Merritt Westwood, and daughters Sarah and Ann; (7) Rachel, who married Henry King. Of these William(2) Westwood married Ann Stith, daugher, it is believed, of Capt. John Stith, of Charles City, and his will was proved in 1782. He had issue, (1) William, (2) John Stith, "born in 1766, and died May 16, 1836, aged seventy-two," when W. T. Westwood, now (1900) town clerk of Hampton, was but two years old. John Stith(4) Westwood was married three times, and W. T.(5) Westwood was child of last marriage with Elizabeth Stanworth. John Stith Westwood was a member of House of Delegates in 1804-'5, and was a justice of the peace in 1802.
