Joseph Edmund Wallace (1835-1907) was taken to Chappell Hill, Texas, from Mississippi by his father in 1848. He and Sarah C. Landes, called Kate, married in Washington County, Texas. He was born in Morgan County, Alabama. His father was Joseph Wallis, who was born March 9, 1801, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and died March 15, 1865, in Texas. The father of the elder Joseph Wallis was Rev. James Wallis. It is said that Rev. Wallis changed his name from "Wallace," because there were so many with that name in North Carolina and because of a family dispute.
