Birth-Calccirca 21 Jun 1850 Charles Erskine Wallace was born circa 21 Jun 1850 based on the age reported for him at the time of his death.2 
 The middle initial, on what appears to be an entry recording Charles's death in Washington County, is "H."2 
Death11 Oct 1854 Charles died of flux on 11 Oct 1854.2 
Burial  Charles may have been buried in the Burson (formerly) Fulkerson Cemetery in Washington County where fragments of an old stone appear to read: Wallace, _____, Jr., b. 21 _____ 1851 - 11 Oct. 1854. It is also possible the stone belonged to his brother John who died a few months before Charles, also of flux. The information is not entirely accurate for either boy.3
