Born near York, South Carolina, the son of an American colonial immigrant, McCasland Wallace (born at sea on the Atlantic Ocean to a Scots-Irish family on their way to the port of Charleston, South Carolina), Wallace received a limited schooling.
He and his wife, the former Agnes McCasland (1896-1983), had two sons, John Patton, Jr. (1924-1958), a lieutenant in the United States Navy who served in both World War II and the Korean War, and Olen T. Patton (1926-1943), killed in action in the war.
