Samuel P. Wallace was the son of Andrew and Rachel Jane Ann (Blair) Wallace of Lexington, Rockbridge County, Virginia.
Samuel P. Wallace was 3rd. Sgt. in Wadworth's Company. Many records indicated he escaped the massacre on March 27, 1836 (Palm Sunday). His younger brother Wlliam Alexander Anderson "Big Foot" Wallace showed up to collect his past pay and get the land owed him for losing his life in the fight for Texas Indpendence on Dec. 29, 1837. Two sources said Samuel escaped but it was later determined that Joseph Tatem was mistaken in entering the notation on the log.
