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.

He describes the early living conditions and occupations as well as giving names of many of the early settlers he knew.
