William Edward Chute lists his birthdate as October 27, 1844; other sources give his birthdate as 1843. He identified himself as "William Wallace" on the 1890 census.

The story behind the divorce and remarriage of Wallace and Julia was explained by descendant Nan Curtis in 2001: "Julia E. Lobdell-Armstrong fell in love with a traveling salesman, Kenneth L. McClellan. Sometime between 1884, and 1885, she took the youngest three daughters, Lillie Mae Armstrong/b. 1878, Iva Maude Armstrong/b. 1881, and Celia Gertrude Armstrong, b. 1883, and left Wallace W. Armstrong, and the older four children, Minnie Armstrong, b. 1872, Edward D. Armstrong, b. 1883, Arthur F. Armstrong/b. 1885, and Erbin Armstrong/b. 1877 with him in MN. Julia travelled with Kenneth L. McClellan to Zillah, Yakima Co., WA. She divorced Wallace, and married Kenneth Mc Clellan in 1889. They had a daughter Kate Helen McClellan, b 1890 in MN. Julia E. Mc Clellan is buried beside Kenneth L. Mc Clellan in Zillah, Yakima, WA. Her daughter Lillie Mae Armstrong, is buried beside her second husband Frank Jackson Smith, in the same cemetery, in Zillah, Yakima, WA." Source: Nan Curtis, Bishop, California, Jan 2001.
