General Notes: Husband - William Wallace



A William Wallace and wife Alice were in Epsom by deed, 1768. Three children baptized in Epsom, two on Jan. 1, 1769 and one Aug. 9, 1770.

William4 WALLIS was baptized in 1729 [Greenland VRs, p. 73], son of William3-2 and Martha (---) Wallis. William married say 1750, Alice3 ABBOTT, daughter of Reuben2(Walter1) and Susanna (Shortridge) Abbott of Portsmouth. Alice was baptized at the South Church in Portsmouth on 28 November 1731 [NEHGR 81:419]. Both William and Alice were alive at Greenland on 13 April 1784 [Rockingham Co. Deeds 117:80].
William was quite active in land records, more so than either of his brothers, and often with his father. Rather than outline them all, I will discuss those with significance and briefly list the rest. On 13 June 1758 he received 48 acres from his father as William Wallace, Jr. of Greenland [NHPD 60:349]. He sold his pew in the meeting house to Enoch Clark on 3 October 1761 [NHPD 66:376] On 23 Feb. 1764 he and his father sell land. [NHPD 72:168]. On 7 May 1768 as William Wallis of Epsom, he sold to Ichabod Weeks of Greenland, but signed the deed William Wallis Jr. [NHPD 79:498]. He sold to Thomas Nudd of Greenland [NHPD 79:499]. He sold to Clement March of Greenland [NHPD 80:15]. He sold to Samuel and Job Chapman, with Alice releasing dower. [NHPD 89:405]. He sold with his father again to Ichabod Weeks. [NHPD 89:421]. Conversely, he bought of Eleazer and William Cate of Greenland some land "the is said Wallis's father's possession." [NHPD 91:81]. Again as William of Epsom, husbandman he sold to Ebenezer Taber, a tract in Epsom on 16 December 1768. [NHPD 97:172].
After his father's death, he is the William Wallace of Greenland, husbandman in several deeds starting on 17 April 1777 when he sold land to William Pickering of Greenland, gentleman. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 108:220]. On 11 June 1777, again to William Pickering, he sold 60 acres in Greenland it being the land I bought of William Blazo and Joseph Wallis. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 109:152] Recorded the same day, but dated 31 March 1775, is the deed from Joseph Wallace to William for 40 acres in which no relationship is stated. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 109:316] On 1 July 1771, William Wallas (his father) and William Blasdel (his brother-in-law) both of Greenland sold to William Wallis, Jr. of Greenland, 20 acres in Greenland, described in part as "to the northeast End of the farm that Mr. William Wallace gave to his Son Joseph Wallas and to this daughter Blasdel said Twenty acres to lie on the East side of the land give to Abigail Blasdel adjoining to Joseph Wallas's land. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 112:156] William bought land from Thomas and Nathaniel Marston in Portsmouth [Rockingham Co. Deeds 112:157] and sold land to them [Rockingham Co. Deeds 123:64] William sold again to William Pickering, the 40 acres "I bought of Joseph Wallis" and 12 additional acres in Portsmouth. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 116:249]
Deeds are sometimes recorded well after the date, and therefore are out of order chronologically by their volume and page number. However, in late 1783 and into 1784, William and in many cases with Alice releasing dower, sells off all his land. He trades land with Thomas Berry, Jr. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 117:80, 117:140, 117:144]. He sells and buys to William Pickering once more [Rockingham Co. Deeds 117:141, 117:143, 117:145, the last of which is the land "I bought of William Blazo and Joseph Wallis."] And then he sells land to George Lang of Greenland, cordwainer in two deeds dated 9 June 1784 and 1 May 1783, the later of which was 60 acres "it being the whole of my homestead where I now live." [Rockingham Co. Deeds 118:10 and 138:2]
And with that last deed dated 9 June 1784, both William and Alice vanish from the records. He doesn't seem to be living with his sons Reuben or William Weymouth Wallis in the 1790 census [each household has but one man over 16], nor on his own. There is no probate for either William nor Alice in the Rockingham Co. Probate files. However, given his relative age at the time (about 55) and the language of the deed, I believe he moved. I just don't know where.
There are six William Wallaces/Wallises in the 1790 census in New Hampshire. The man in Epsom is William Weymouth5 Wallace and the one in Northwood is William5-4 (Samuel3). That leaves four in Londonderry, Herkimer, Merrimac, and Cockermouth (the early name for Groton). These men seem to be from the Londonderry Scots-Irish Wallaces. One William Wallace is in Newbury, Vermont, in Orange County with a household of 15 persons including seven men over 16. Again this is not our man.

William's children are pieced together as follows: John, Jane, Simeon, and Nanny have baptisms. William Weymouth is placed here for name, age, and the fact he cannot be placed anywhere else. All the William slots in the descendants of Samuel3 are spoken for. He cannot be Samuel4 William3's child because he marries that man's daughter. Reuben is placed here for age and naming reasons (Alice's father's name was Reuben). Lastly, Benjamin is placed here due to his presence in Sandwich. Reuben moves to Sanbornton. William Weymouth moves to Sandwich. It seems likely that John also moved to Sandwich, therefore the Benjamin of Sandwich seems to fit into here as well.
The last three children are incorrectly given to Weymouth on most Internet sites. Lastly, this family is the most problematic in identification thus far, and consequently may change the most as research progresses.

General Notes: Wife - Alice Abbott



From research of Martin Hollick and online blog entry of 1/8/2010
 "Alice Abbott, wife of William Wallis of Greenland, N.H. 
On 22 January 1768, William Wallis of Epsom, yeoman and Alice my wife heretofore Alice Abbott for twenty-three pounds sold to Mark Noble of Portsmouth, "one sixth part of that Lott of Land in Portsmouth aforesaid therefore of the Estate of Susanna Pitman." [Rockingham County Deed 79:458]. This deed proves that the wife of William4-3-2 Wallis was Alice Abbott, the daughter of Reuben and Susanna (Shortridge) Abbott. Susanna (Shortridge) Abbott remarried and became the Susanna Pitman of Portsmouth and the one sixth part was Alice's share of her mother's estate. Administration to the estate of Susanna Pitman was granted on 6 August 1676 to Mark Noble. [N.H. State Papers 39:32]. Reuben Abbott left a will dated 20 March 1744/45 in which he mentions his wife Susanna, three sons: Reuben, Benjamin and Moses; and daughters Margaret Libby, Alice, Esther and Mary Abbott (all unmarried [last three unmarried, Margaret had married Libbey). So Alice was unmarried by then, but likely married soon thereafter, say 1746.
William sells land several times and Alice releases her dower on many of these deeds, the last of which was dated 13 April 1784 [Rockingham County Deeds 117:80].
