CENSUS: 1850 census of Sangamon,Illinois shows: children: Susan and George Torrence living wi th the Josiah Waddell family.

BIOGRAPHY: From JoAnn Schmidt: Jschm21735@aol.com : I have a little information on the Wadde ll Family and thought it might be of some help to those of you researching this family: In Se ptember of 1849 Sarah DONNER TORRENCE died and following her in death on 24 November 1849 wa s her husband John TORRENCE. They left 5 small children orphans. At the time of the 1850 U . S. Census you will find Josiah WADDELL and his wife Elizabeth HALL WADDELL with two of th e TORRENCE children living with them. They were Susan age 10 and George age 6. Josiah WADDE LL was born 26 September 1804, in Ohio county, W. Va. He was there md. 11 Jan. 1831 to Eliza beth HALL of West Alexander, Washington county, Pa. She was also a native of Virginia. The y moved to Sangamon county, Illinois, arriving 1 March 1835, in what is now Cotton Hill towns hip. He spent 20 years in farming there. They have no children. They have since 1855, an d now live in Springfield, Sangamon county, Illinois. George TORRENCE was my mothers grandfather and I always wondered how he happened to settle i n Taylorville, Christian, Illinoisand start out working for Rheuben WILKINSON. That questio n was pretty well answered when I found the following: 1880 History of Christian County and 1918 History of Christian County: A neighbor and frien d of Josiah WADDLE by the name of WILKINSON, and his wife, died very close together. They le ft their only child, Rheuben WILKINSON a boy in his teens. He was without known relatives . Uncle Josiah took him in and gave him work. About the time he was of age, Rheuben WILKINS ON came to Christian County from Great Uncle Josiah's place near Rochester. He lived with an d worked for my grandfather John WADDLE for several years. Rheuben saved his money and bega n to buy land in May Township. When older he moved to Taylorville and helped build the town . He always said he had a great affection for the WADDLE people who raisedhim from teenage t o manhood. He lived 90 years or more. Hope this helps someone - makes me think maybe you all should look in Christian County whic h is next to Sangamon county. Jo Ann Schmidt

BIOGRAPHY: The 1912 History of Sangamon County, vol 2 is:pg 1690-91: William W. WALLACE, a venerable resident of Springfield who has many interesting recolle ctions of early days there, when present conditions were not even dreamed of, was born in Pri nce Edward county, VA, June 19, 1830, a son of Julian C. and Eveline Fl (Godsey) Wallace, nat ives of Virginia. The former was born Jan. 3, 1816, and hte latter, Apr 12, 1812. The fathe r was a shoemaker by trade, who looking for better conditions, left Virginia in 1836, for Fra nklin county, KY, making the trip by wagon. This State continued his home until his death o n March 16, 1881. His wife survived him only until Nov. 6, of the same year. One son of Julia n C., Charles R. Wallace, enlisted in 1862, in the Union Army, and fought bravely until the c lose of the war. Edward A. Wallace, another son, enlisted the same year as his brother, was t aken prisoner at the battle of Shiloh, and incarcerated at Libby Prison and Andersonville, sp ending nine months in all in these two prisons. William W. Wallace attended the subscription schools of Kentucky, at the same time helpi ng his father until he was twenty-one years of age. He continued farming until 1858, in his n ative state, but in that year came to Riverton, Illinois, where he took a contract to cut 10 0 cords of timber. For a year he worked in the timber, and in a saw-mill, and then for fiv e months worked on a farm, when he returned to the timber, to engage with Amos GRUBB. His ass ociation with him continued until 1860. Mr. Wallace was married in Franklin county, KY, July 18, 1855 to Ann C. Woodruff, born i n Franklin county, daughter of John and Mary A. (Petty) Woodruff, natives of Kentucky, wher e the father was a wagon- maker. The following children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wallace: Ja ne C. BASHAW, Isabelle DICKERSON, John W. a farmer near Bissell, Illinois, Charles H. a farme r, Sarah C. GLOSE, Nettie JOHNSON ona farm near Ransom, Kansas, Louis A. in the Racine Sattle ry Plow Works; Frank E. also at the plow works, Mary DRENDEL and A.O. who died 7 feb 1906. M r Wallace is a Republican and belongs to the Christian Church, living out, in his simple, ste adfast life, the faither he professes in his religious connections. He is a kindly man, who h as made manyfriends during his residence in the communnity, and his childrenhave made their m ark whereever they have located.
