Gosh, this is so interesting - and thank you so much for taking the time to help.  The info you've given me is great, but perhaps the most exciting is at the end of your post when you mention John Harper Wallace living in the vicinity in 1902, before Hamilton.  Harry's mother was Elizabeth WALLACE Hamilton, so it looks like the estate was in the family going back further than I thought. I'm going to be kept busy looking into it all!  Thanks again majm.
