Hello Betty,
John O. WALLACE, an older brother of my gr grandfather Edward O. WALLACE,
married Margaret KERSEY of Decatur Co in 1856. She was b. 30 Nov 1818 in
KY and died 3 Jan 1898. She is buried in the Ross Cemetery, Salt Creek
Twp. She was enumerated in the 1850 Census (Washington Twp, pg 167) with
John KERSEY, age 81, b. VA; Kisiah age 72, b. VA; Frances age 31 b. KY;
Mary Ann age 12 b. IN and John age 3 b. IN. I'm not sure who the children
belong to.
This Margaret is the right age to be a sibling of John KERSEY, Jr.,
father of Mary Elizabeth and Betsy (?) Jane. Hope this tidbit helps in
your search.
Happy holidays,
Merna Wallace McClenathen
Goleta, CA
