BURR LINE

John Wallace (John, ??, Adam, Adam, Henry, Richard, Eimerus), youngest son of John and the heiress of Criagie, is found, 1390, in possession of Elderslie. "How he came by it is uncertain. By one account Elderslie had fallen to an heiress and she had m. her Riccarton cousin. By a second account the Elderslie Wallaces had died out, and Elderslie, falling back t the Laird of Riccarton, as superior, had been granted by him to his youngest son John. What is certian is that from this John Wallace of Elderslie we can give chapter and verse for 15 male descendants." In 1398 John resigned some lands to his son Thomas.

Margaret Lindsay (dau of Sir John Lindsay, 4th of Craigie) 'The Book of Wallace' suggests that Sir John and Margaret had only one son, John below. 'The Wallace Papers' reports that they had 2 other sons: William of Burn Bank (had issue) and Robert who dsp in France. 'History of the County of Ayr' (James Paterson, vol 1, 1847, p336) reports that John is said to have had 3 sons (Adam, his successor, Sir Duncan of Sundrum (but then adds that this "seems extrenely improbable") and John (m. Heiress of Wallace of Ellerslie) and a daughter m. Sir Alan Cathcart. We follow BLG1850 (Wallace of Kelly) which also suggests that they had 3 sons, the youngest being the ancestor of the later Wallaces of Elderslie.
