  	In 1820, with most of the family, Andrew Wallace and Ellen Fulton left their home in the vicinity of Paisley Scotland and emigrated to Canada. They sailed from Greenock in an old battle-ship that had been sunk - it was said - during the Napoleonic Wars and later raised and used as a transport for emigrants. Storms and adverse winds made the voyage a tedious one of several weeks duration. They left this vessel at Quebec and came up the St. Lawrence River in batteaux, as far as Prescott. From hence they trekked overland to Perth and into Dalhousie Township, Lanark County, where they settled on land bought from the government. The family reached this their new home late in December. Alexander Callander, his wife Agnes Sterling, and their family were emigrants on the same vessel and they too settled in Dalhousie Township on land just south of that taken by Andrew Wallace. For seventeen or eighteen years these families remained in this district overcoming obstacles common to Canadian pioneering. But when the forest was cleared away the soil was found to be rocky and not the best for farming. Accordingly in 1837 or 1838 most of the Wallace family left Dalhousie for North Gower Township in Carleton County. Here they settled on Lots 18 and 19, in third concession of North Gower. Part of this was Clergy Reserve land, for which they had to wait some years before obtaining their title deeds. Andrew Wallace died at the home of his youngest son, William Wallace about 1844. His remains were interred in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Kars, North Gower Township. His wife (Ellen Fulton) continued to reside with her son William who later moved to Perth County. She died January 2nd 1872 and her remains were interred in Roy's Cemetery in the vicinity of Cromarty.
