Grace Jane Wallace

Grace Jane Wallace, Lady Wallace, née Stein (1804-1878) was a Scottish author.[1]

Life edit

She was the eldest daughter of John Stein of Edinburgh. She became, on 19 August 1824, the second wife of Sir Alexander Don, 6th Baronet of Newton Don, and the intimate friend of Sir Walter Scott. She had two children: Sir William Henry Don, 7th Baronet, the actor; and Alexina Harriet, who married Sir Frederick Acclom Milbank, bart., of Hart and Hartlepool.[2]

In his Familiar Letters (ii.348) Sir Walter Scott writes to his son in 1825: "Mama and Anne are quite well; they are with me on a visit to Sir Alex. Don and his new lady, who is a very pleasant woman, and plays on the harp delightfully".

Sir Alexander died in 1826; and in 1836 his widow married Sir James Maxwell Wallace (1785–1867). Lady Wallace died on 12 March 1878 without children from her second marriage.[2]
