General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Wallace

---

It is one of the traditions and family tenets of these Wallaces that they are descended from Sir Malcolm Wallace, the Knight of Elderslie, father of Sir William Wallace, the great Scotch patriot, through one of his other sons, of whom he had three, and the claim seems to be well founded, thus tracing the ancestry of the family to the early part of the twelfth century, when Richard, son of Galieus of Wales, known as "Richard the Welshman," went into Scotland and founded the family of Wallace, and is the progenitor of all the Wallaces in Scotland and Ireland, and their descendants in America and other lands. His first grant of land was in Ayrshire, while his great-grandson, Sir Malcolm Wallace, was at Elderslie in Renfrewshire. It is from the Elderslie branch that the Wallaces of Virginia and Maryland claim descent.

The coat-of-arms of the Elderslie line of Wallaces is as follows, and it is practically the same as that adopted by the Wallaces of Virginia: "Az. a lion rampant arg. within a bordure, counter compony arg. and az.-crest, an ostrich holding in his beak a horseshoe ppr." ¹
