Abraham Wallace

Abraham Wallace (1828 – 27 April 1884), was a 19th-century Australian pastoralist. Born in County Offaly, Ireland, to Jeremiah and Anne Wallace, he emigrated with his family to Australia aboard the Joseph Soames, a 780 ton barque, arriving in Adelaide in the Colony of South Australia, on 23 November 1850. Abraham was 20. His family settled in the Mount Gambier district. Wallace and his wife Matilda (née Matilda Hill) were for many years frontier sheep and cattle farmers, which she documented in a memoir.
