• Notes

  William Wallace, son of William Wallace and Janet Schaw, had, in 1554, from his superior, William Wallace of Craigie, a charter of the lands of Elderslie ; while in 1583 he was confirmed in the lands of Helington, and in 1507 in the lands of Kysewaeth and Windymill. He died in May 1599. In his "latter will," which is dated at Elderslie on the 14th May 1599, he names as executors his sons James, Gabriel, and John ; and as "oversmen" John Wallace, elder, and John Wallace, younger, of Craigie ; also William Wallace of Johnstoun, John Wallace of Monktounhill, his brothers, and Allan Hamilton of Ferguslie, his son-in-law. His "free gear" is estimated at £1478, 5s. 4d. He married, first, Janet Hamilton of Ferguslie, who died in December 1580. In her testament-dative she is described as "auld Lady Ellerslie." Of the marriage were born four sons, William, James, Gabriel, and John. [The book of Wallace by Rev. Charles Rogers pub.1889]
