Ruth Annie Wallace

Ruth PORTER - b. about 1756; d. 1849, prior to Oct. 1, Rutherford Co., NC. Daughter of Samuel PORTER and Sarah BYERS. An affidavit of Jun. 5, 1846 states that William WALLACE "was married to his wife Ruth, whose maiden name was Porter, the second or 3d. year after the landing in America." Ruth is apparently in household 636 of son Josira WALLACE (listed as Joseph S. WALLIS) in the 1830 Census of Rutherford Co., NC as the female age 70-80. A letter, apparently written as a transfer of church membership from the Beersheba Presbyterian Church, York District, SC to Brittain Presbyterian Church, Rutherford Co., NC, reads as follows:

These are to certify that William Wallace and Ruth his Wife, hath resided in Beersheba congregation for many years bypast previous to the end of the Year 1795 and hath behaved themselves in a sober Christian manner clear of Church Censure or publick Scandal and obtaining the Ordinance of Baptism for their Children without having the opportunity of the other Seal of the Covenant by reason of the want of a stated Ministry in the Congregation and as such we recommend them to any Christian Society where Providence may order their Lot. Certified by us this 14th Day of February 1800.
