WALLACE


My Wallace connection begins with Robert Wallace, born in Newbern, North Carolina, in 1814.  Robert migrated to Choctaw County, Alabama, in 1832 where he met and married his first wife, Madeline Hall.  They had three children: Hannah, Elizabeth and Madeline.  Hannah Wallace married John Wesley Drew in June 1859.  In 1873 the Wallaces and Drews migrated from Mobile, Alabama, to Clearwater, Florida.

Wallace > Drew > Nash

Madeline Drew, born 1860 in Mobile, Alabama, and eldest child of John Wesley Drew and Hannah Wallace, married Captain John Parks Nash in Clearwater, Florida, on January 14, 1883.  Their children were:

  • Lynch Monterey Nash, born 1883, married Joseph Walter Collins in 1906 in Alachua County, Florida
  • Fred Ash Nash, born 1885, married Pearl (?) about 1914.
  • Hannah Elizabeth "Bessie" Nash, born 1887, married Pike Lewis Thomas in 1904 in Alachua County, Florida (my line)
  • Nellie Nash, born 1889, married Andrew Frazier Berry in 1908 in Alachua County, Florida
  • John Wesley Nash, born 1893, married Mary Louise Newman in 1929 in Hillsborough County
  • Josie Nash, married Joseph Pope Whittlesey, II, probably in Duval County.
