Sir Malcom Wallace b 1220.
When he was a young man he was made a Baron, a titl e of nobility giv
en to those, only, who had acquired possessions, sometimes by purchase, so
metimes by inheritance, and sometimes because of valuable services rendere
d. Upon receiving the title of Baron, a man automatically became a memb
er of the House of parliament, and of course, had part in making of the la
ws. Malcolm received from his father, Adam, vast estates in and around A
yr and Elderlie, because it was the custom in those days that a faithful e
lder son should become his father's successor. It is said that the estat
es of Elderlie are in possession of the Wallace descendants to this day (1
961) or nearly 5 centuries later. Malcom, later, was given the title of Kn
ighthood because he so fearlessly championed the cause of Scottish Indepen
dence. It will be remembered at the time that the people of Scotland we
re under control of England and were in dire distress because of English O
ppression. Immediately upon receiving the Honor of Kighthood, he changed t
he spelling of the name to "W allace". His family was the first to have t
he name that has come down through the centuries to the present days. In n
oting the difference in ages between the first two sons (22 years), it sug
gests that perhaps daughters were born to their parents, but as was the cu
stoms, not recorded.
As his brother Adam recieved Riccarton, Malcolm Wallace recieved thelan
ds of Elderslie (Ellerslie) and Auchinbothie, in Renfrewshire.
He was possibly born at Riccarton, but the sources are unclear. Malcolm di
ed in 1291 at the Battle of Loudoun Hill.
