• Little is definitely known of the family history or even the parentage of Alan's alleged son, Willia: with note: Description: Blind Harry's late-15th-century poem gives William's father as Sir Malcolm of Elderslie; however William's own seal, found on a letter sent to the Hanse city of Lübeck in 1297, gives his father's name as Alan Wallace. This Alan Wallace may be the same as the one listed in the 1296 Ragman Rolls as a crown tenant in Ayrshire, but there is no additional confirmation. Blind Harry's assertion that William was the son of Sir Malcolm of Elderslie has given rise to a tradition that William's birthplace was at Elderslie in Renfrewshire, and this is still the view of some historians, including the historical William Wallace Society itself. However, William's seal has given rise to a counter claim of Ellerslie in Ayrshire. There is no contemporary evidence linking him with either location, although both areas had connections with the wider Wallace family. Wikiwand: William Wallace

  === Life Sketch ===
  22nd Great Grandfather
  
  Of two sons born to Adam Wallace of Riccarton, prior to the middle of the thirteenth century, Malcolm, the younger, received as his inheritance the five-pound lands of Elderslie in the shire of Renfrew, also the five-merk lands of Auchinbothie in the county of Ayr. The latter barony, which is situated in the south-eastern extremity of the parish of Lochwinnoch, was in 1654 valued at 33£. 6s. 8d., with a return from feuars of 366£. 13s. 4d. During the thirteenth century the annual value was probably one-third less.
  
  The lands of Elderslie were of considerable extent ; the present estate includes 11,250 acres, with a rental of £14,883, 8s.
  
  About two and a half miles to the south-west of Paisley, on the banks of the Altpatrick stream, and at the western extremity of the modern hamlet of Elderslie, rests on a gentle eminence a plain mansion of the eighteenth century, built on a foundation of the reign of Charles II. According to the Marquess of Bute, " the old castle or manor-house was pulled down in the last century." His lordship, who visited the place in 1875, remarks that he "observed in the garden wall some nicely cut square stones, such as we find in buildings about the year 1200, when we may suppose it most likely the Wallaces built the strong part of their house. That it was a building of some pretension," adds his lordship, " may be gathered from the masons' work. The only actual and evident remains which I saw as to which it was possible to entertain the idea that it was as old as the thirteenth century, were the two small vaults, one of them with a fire-place, and called Wallace's kitchen. The fire-place may be later, and the windows pretty certainly, and probably the doors have been altered, but the extreme massiveness of the walls leads me to think it possible that they may be ancient." '
  
  In his " History of Renfrewshire," published in 1710, George Crawfurd describes the castle as still habitable. In the garden, near the castle, stood a sturdy oak, which according to tradition was planted by the patriot. In 1825 this oak measured twentyone feet in circumference at base, and thirteen feet two inches at the height of four feet from the ground ; it rose to the height of sixty-seven feet, and by its branches covered a vast space. The Wallace oak was blown down by a storm on the 16th February 1850. From the trunk was constructed a sideboard, which adorns the dining-room of Elderslie House. In the garden, near the site of the castle, there remains a large yew of unknown age ; it may have been planted when the structure was reared.
  
  Malcolm Wallace of Elderslie married Margaret, daughter of Sir Hugh Craufurd of Corsbie, and brother of Sir Reginald Craufurd, sheriff of Ayr. Of the marriage were born two sons, Malcolm and William.
