Elizabeth Archange Wallen

Probably Elizabeth or Eliza Archange Wallen (née Ford) the widow of Edward Pinnock Wallen and the sister-in-law of Mary Player Smith (q.v.), and apparently the owner of Greenwich Hill in St Andrew Jamaica.

1. The will of Edward Pinnock Wallen of [Jamaica but at present in London] Reading Berkshire was proved 26/09/1822. He explained that his son James Smith Wallen had been provided for by his [the testator's] brother-in-law James Smith and sister Mary Player Smith, and accordingly he left his property to his wife Eliza Archange Wallen and his daughter Caroline Fanny Wallen.

2. Death At Mount Radford, Exeter, Elisa Archange Wallen, widow of the late Major Wallen, of the 20th Dragoons.

T71/865 St Andrew claim no. 165, which gives her as Elizabeth Ann Wallens. There is unsourced information about the family at http://www.linleyfh.com/oursecondsite-p/p333.htm#i22693 [accessed 13/08/2012], which indicates that Eliza Archange Ford married Edward Pinnock Wallen in Spanishtown in 03/09/1806, that the family moved to England in the late 1810s and that Eliza Archange Wallen died at Exeter Devon in 1835.
