A correction to my previous statement. (see Joanna, granddaughter of George Frederick Hutton Potts). Frederick Hopper Wallace was my GREAT GRANDFATHER. He was father to Esme (aka Dolly) Stuart Wallace, wife of George Frederick. I have the family bible which is encribed "To Esme on her wedding day" from her mother-in-law (Jemima Cameron nee Cumming, married to Lipton Hutton Potts). Also, please note that the surname "Hutton Potts" is correctly spelled WITHOUT a hyphen.
