John Bradford Wallace (1778–1837)
On several occasions Bushrod Washington sent Wallace his notes on court cases.
John Bradford Wallace, a nephew of U.S. Attorney General William Bradford and brother-in-law of Horace Binney, was born on 17 August 1778 in Somerset County, New Jersey. A graduate of present-day Princeton University, he gained admittance to the bar and practiced law in Philadelphia. Financial difficulties inspired a relocation to Meadville in Crawford County, which he would represent in the Pennsylvania legislature.
