It is impossible to tell from the context where Joseph Wallace lived. Preble County is in Ohio just east of Richmond, Indiana.
This collection consists of one letter:
11-6-1811 Joseph Wallace to John and James Wallace, Preble County, Ohio. We hear that the Kentucky militia have had a battle with the Indians on the grounds of the Wabash River, also that a large party of Indians come into the settlements in your part of the country to seek U. S. government protection. People expect war from the British and Indians, but though they may plunder and burn some of our seaport towns, I think the British have their hands full in Ireland, where Protestants and Catholics to a man seem to be determined to spill their blood or have oppressions taken off. I think most of the churches, except the Associate Reformed Church, have crept into Arminianism. ALS 4p
