Anthony and John Wallace look like brothers in the early Matilda settlers of Lunenberg. Families listed in "The Story of Dundas County":
Anthony Wallace's family: Peter, Nicholas, Mary, Hester, Amanda
John Wallace's family: Anthony, David, Daniel, John, Solomon, Catharine, Elizabeth

Anthony was baptised 14 July, 1793, son of John Wallace/Walliser and Christine Fell, who were married on 27 March 1792. Appears to have been of German descent.
His brother John was definitely born 1804 so probably not Susanna's brother.
