It would appear that Samuel Wallace died in the year of the Rebellion, 1798  and this always casts certain suspicions over what role he may have taken during this difficult time in Irish history. As noted by M.S. Dudley Westropp many gunmakers were taken to the Pigeon House within Dublin Castle and were never to reappear!!
