JOHN JAMES WALLACE, farmer, was born in Trigg County, Ky., and is a son of
J. L. and Caroline (Prescott) Wallace, the former a native of Stewart
County, Tenn., and the latter a native of Kentucky.  J. L. Wallace began
life at the age of thirteen, working by the month on a farm for very small
wages.  In 1839 he came to Kentucky, and in 1854 purchased a farm in Trigg
County, which he still owns.  He spent some three years in Texas, one year
in Arkansas, then returned to Trigg County, where he now resides.  He was
married April 1, 1850.  He is a member of the Blue Loge, A. F. & A. M.,
Joppa, No. 167, and is a believe in the doctrines of the Baptist Church.
J. J. Wallace, our subject, received a good education in youth in his
native county.  He remained with his parents, engaged on the farm until
December 16, 1876, when he was married to Jane McConnell, a native of
Kentucky.  To them were born four children, of whom two sons and one
daughter are yet living.  Mr. Wallace owns a nice farm, and bids fair to
become one of the leading farmers of the county.
