Madam: 
I advise you the this bureau is unable to furnish 
the history of a soldier of the revolution unless a 
claim for pension or bounty land has been made on ac-
count of his services.
A careful search of the records fails to show such
a claim on file on account of the series of William
 Wallace born 1740, married 1771, Mary Tilson, Lived in 
Ivy, Virginia and who died in 1809.
Lieutenant William B, Wallace, of Virginia (s.42612),
died June 21,1833, as shown by the records of this bureau,
hence not identified with William Wallace described by you.
Respectfully,
E.W. MORGAN,
Acting commissioner.
