  Misc	Notes from Dean Wallace: 1960's James Cosby, son of David Oliver and Ellen Turner Wallace was born on 26 August 1840 in Ray County at Crab Orchard, Missouri ( now known as Elkhorn). James enlisted in the Union Army at Richmond, Missouri in January 1863 and served as a Private in Co. K, 6th Regimental Calvary. He was discharged in July 1865 at St. Louis, Missouri. He served in the Battle of the Boston Mountains in Arkansas. He is described as being of light complexion, sandy hair, grey eyes, and 5' 8 1/2" tall. James met his future wife while serving in the Army in Arkansas. She was Saloma St. Claire and was born in 1848 in Arkansas. They were married on 02 July 1865. After marriage, they resided in Webster County, Missouri for 3 years then moved to Arkansas where they remained for a year then returned to Webster County. All of their children were born in Webster County. Later they moved to Ozark County, Missouri, where they spent their remaining days until James died in 1924, and Saloma died in 1915. They are at rest in the WALLACE CEMETERY, located near Hammond on a farm where Louie resides today. James homesteaded the farm, known as the "Mack Boyles" farm, located about 1/2 mile east of the Cemetery. James died on the farm where the Cemetery is located. James and Saloma became estranged in their later years and James resided with various relations of his, and Saloma lived on the "Wes Baker" farm located south of Hammond. Saloma had a stroke one morning while cooking breakfast. She was cooking meat and complained of no heat in the pan when it was noticed by one of her granddaughters that the pan was hot and Saloma was turning the meat with her fingers. I know very little about the St. Claire family, and my (Dean's) Aunt Mae Herd told me that Saloma's father was killed by bushwhackers shortly before her birth in Arkansas. I did find the St. Claire children living in Montgomery [Searcy] County, Arkansas in 1850, with an Alfred Burns Family, who had 7 children of their own. I do not know the connection between the Burns and St. Claire families, except that the St. Claire children lived with them, and Aunt Mae also told me tales of hardship she had heard about the children having to struggle for survival when they were children. The Census of 1850 gave the St, Clair children as John age 18, born in Ohio; Sam age 17, born in Ohio; Polk age 8, born in Missouri; Austin age 6, born in Arkansas; Mary, age 12, born in Ohio; and Saloma, age 2, born in Arkansas. (Dean's) Aunt Mae and Cora Willhoit Miller said John married Mary_____and his sister Mary married a McVey and had a daughter named Leah. There were many St. Clair families in Ohio in the 1830s and one of them was a Gen. St. Clair, but if there is any connection between the families, I (Dean) cannot say. I did find in the "History of Montgomery County Arkansas", where a St. Clair man fearing for his life after being threatened by a gang of ruffians, hid in a tree but was found by the ruffians and shot. It did not mention Mr. St. Clair by name, so I do not know if this was the father of Saloma or not. James Cosby Wallace, at the age of 70, won the first prize at the fair with some corn that he had grown, and the older ones who can remember him, say that he was a jovial man. FROM DEAN'S 1980s notes: Saloma's father, David Martin St. Clair, was involved in the "King-Tutt-Everett Feud" at Yellville, Arkansas in 1860. ( I, Susan, am not sure as to the place and dates, as the copy I have is not clear) David Cimarron Everett fearing for his own life hid in a tree but was found and killed. (See the above note from the 1960s notes). This was shortly before the birth of Saloma. David and Mary were natives of Pennsylvania. She later married Alfred Burns, a widower with 7 children. He and Mary had children of their marriage. Alfred died at Snowball, Arkansas of blood poisoning. Saloma also had brothers and a sister, Mary, James, Polk, Austin, Charles, John, and Sam. David Tutt, who was involved in the feud when David St. Clair was killed, had a son, David Jr., who was shot and killed by "Wild Bill Hickock" on the Springfield, Missouri Square over a watch David has won from Bill in a poker game. Some of the St. Clair descendants later lived at Western Grove, Arkansas in the early 1900s. I (Dean) have been unable to locate any there today. James Saloma sold their farm In Webster County in 1883. It was located N-1/2 NW-1/4 Section 14, Township 29, Range 17, or 3 miles north and 1 mile West of Seymour. It is recorded in Book 3, Page 278 in the Tax Assessors Office. In 1903, James operated a livery stable in Gainesville. James Cosby shot a man over a poker game in 1867 in Jasper, Arkansas, where they lived at that time. His lawyer, Mr. Hodge, advised him to escape. James was being tried at Jasper, Arkansas, and jumped out a window while his lawyer stood between him and the law. James got away and escaped with his family to Missouri and was never caught. Saloma was pregnant with my (Dean's) grandfather at that time. The lawyer was the grandfather of Frank Hodge of Ocie, Missouri. Saloma was related to the Christy family. John Christy, a relative, practiced law at Little Rock and Marshall, Arkansas. From Susan Lynnette "Wallace" Gingery: I have copies of James Cosby Wallace's Civil War Information, Saloma's Petition for Pension "under the DECLARATION OF WIFE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1899, dealing with spousal desertion and non-support of family.
