I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, A Yankee Doodle do or die; A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's, Born on the 4th of July. I've got a Yankee Doodle Sweetheart, She's my Yankee Doodle Joy, Yankee Doodle came to London, Just to ride the ponies; I am a Yankee Doodle Boy. George M. Cohan published this song in 1905. |

Moses Wallace (About 1723? -
1792) - Soldier of the Revolution
On 30 May 1999 I visited Cross Creek Cemetery. At that time I
was unable to locate the actual graves of Moses Wallace or his wife. On
page 86
of the "History of the Cross Creek Graveyard" lists Mary Tidball
Wallace, wife of Moses Wallace, born December 22, 1723, died in 1783, this
information may not be correct as the wife of Moses has never been identified.
The memorial below shows Moses Wallace as being born 1730 died 1792.
