TROTTER
My ancestor David Trotter was killed by Indians
in 1802 in New Madrid. David Trotter was a proven settler acc. to the Am.
State papers with permission of the Spanish or French Govt then in power and
his heirs and ch. rec'd land when it was finally settled with the U.S., I
think abt 1812.The doc. written in French states that David Trotter came
from KY and owned land in KY. Further research showed me that he was from
the Fayette/Bourbon Co KY Trotter family that came from Augusta Co. VA.
Trotter may have had a trading post, but that was not stated. I just wonder
how he could sell liquor if he didnt have a store. I have the dimensions of
the house and what was on the first and the second floor. He had sold liquor
to Indians previously and was told by the other inhabitants not to do it
again. When the Indians arrived at his house, he told them that he was not
allowed to sell them liquor and they killed him. Some of the Indians were
captured and one of them was shot, Tewaneye. This was done with the
permission of Indian chiefs, Chief Agypousetchy and chief Kaskaloua, who
took the other killers into custody to mete out their own punishment. There
are other accounts of David Trotter's murder and the subsequent law that was
passed because of it.

WALLACE
I am looking for any information on a John WALLACE who lived in
Parma, New Madrid County, Missouri. He had a son, James Wallace, who was
born about 1915, so John would have to have been born before 1895 or so. I
have no other information on John Wallace
