CEMETERY: Granny's Hill, Webster Co CORRECTION

Nancy,

I just thought that I would drop you a note regarding the article you
posted on the Ky-Footsteps yesterday.  The family buried at Granny's Hill
Cemetery are my ancestors.  In fact, the Capt. James Wallace talked about
below is my 3rd great grandfather; his son, Benjamin P. Wallace, also
listed below, is my 2nd great grandfather.

This article was written by a cousin, Marjorie (Jenkins) Wallace, now
deceased back in 1965.  In her article below, she relates the story of "Old
Granny Wallace", the Granny on the hill, hence "Granny's Hill Cemetery".
In the article, she attributed the Granny on the hill to being the widow of
Capt. James Wallace, his 2nd wife, "Kesiah Wallace".  This is an error that
Marjorie corrected in later writings.  After Capt. James Wallace died, his
widow and 2nd wife moved to Caldwell Co.

There was another "Kesiah Wallace" who was the actual "Granny on the hill".
 She was Keziah D. (Curry) Wallace, wife of Abraham Cook Wallace.  Abraham
Cook Wallace was one of the sons of Capt. James Wallace & Nancy (Curry)
Wallace.  Abraham Cook Wallace and his wife, Keziah D. (Curry) Wallace
lived on the property, and after Abraham's death in 1871, Keziah continued
to live there on the property and thus developed the legend on the Granny
on the hill.
