Elizabeth Kerr was the daughter of William Kerr and Mary Ann Grove. She married Moses Wallace on 4 Jan 1819 in Augusta Co., Virginia.

They had 6 known Wallace children:
Mary Ellen, unk
Hettie Jane, 21 Mar 1821 (Alex. Walker), below
William Kerr, 10 Feb 1822 - 1880 (Margaret Armstrong)
Samuel Boyd, 18 May 1824 -10 Oct 1888 (Eliz. Snider), below
Amanda E, abt 1826-aft 1880 (James C Brown, 1814-1881)*
John Marshall, 29 Feb 1828 - 20 Sep 1886 (Margaret Hensley), below

On the 1850 Augusta Co., Virginia census, I found farmer William Wallace, 25; Samuel Wallace, 24; John Wallace, 20; ELIZABETH Wallace, 50 plus Elizabeth Steve (or similar), 30; John Steve?, 4 and Benjamin Steve?, 2, all Virginia born.

On the 1860 Dist. 1, Augusta Co., Virginia census, I found farmer John M Wallace, 32; ELISABETH Wallace, 62 and domestic Betsey Keller, 42 and her 7 children ages 5/12 to 15, all Virginia born.

The 4 Feb 1862 Staunton Spectator & General Advertiser reports VA: At rules held at the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court for Augusta County, the 3d day of February, 1862. John N Wallace, plaintiff against Samuel B. Wallace, Elizabeth Wallace and Hettie J Walker, defendants. John paid for debts for the defendant, Saml B Wallace for a 2/6 share of 246 acres in Augusta county. Samuel does not live in VA and is requested to appear. See notice on right (same appears on Feb 18th and 25th).

She last appears on the 1870 Summerdean, Pastures, Augusta Co., Virginia census, residing with son Samuel B. Wallace, 45, Elizabeth Wallace, 30 and ELIZABETH Wallace, 73, all Virginia born. They lived next door to son John M. Wallace and his family.

Another notice appears in the Staunton Spectator dated 27 Feb 1877 in a column of sales in the Pastures District "Elizabeth Wallace to W K Wallace, 247 1/8 a." Check the deeds in the Augusta Co. Court House and check for Wallace in the Index as well.

Her burial location is undocumented, but I suspect she was also buried at the Old Lebanon Cemetery in Craigsville, Augusta County, Virginia. It has been in bad shape for years, and many markers were below the soil line. Kin, Diane Parker wrote: "Moses Wallacer is buried near his parents and close to many of his family members in the Old Lebanon Cemetery."

*Daughter Amanda E Wallace was born in about 1826 and married James C Brown before 1848. She appears on the 1850 to 1880 Augusta Co. census with James and various Brown children (Preston W, abt 1848; Frances Fannie V, , abt 1850-51; Amanda E, abt 1855; Sarah Sallie J, abt 1856-1857; Isadora Hoge, 7 May 1859 and Lucretia, abt 1863). James C Brown died in 1881 and she died between the 1880 census and before the 1900 census. Logic suspects she was buried at Hebron, like her husband and 2 kids.
