Note to Nancy M./Sconemac I've seen your name on the Internet while searching for Wallace history. You seem to be something of a historian. Please tell us, what do you know that this other person (posting below) is mistaken about? You speak with a certitude that I find fascinating. What's the real story here? By the way, IMO, this list is also for fun, on occasion, so consider being sensitive with your seemingly caustic remarks. Whoever sent that post (re: Wallace in Europe) probably didn't take your remark too kindly. Anyway, your insights might be a great help to the group. I hope so, Nancy. Thanks.

Somebody on this list purportedly has evidence to the comtrary. Did somebody catch his/her name or e-mail? ============================ In a message dated 97-07-19 04:57:40 EDT, SconeMac@aol.com writes: << This is a very strange letter, does this list get this type of thing often? >> ============================ Steve here: Both Sconemac & I are referring to the same person/letter .............. ============================ Hi! We are Wallaces from the north and we have a legend in the family that one of Argyle Wallaces son"s escaped with the original Sir William Wallaces son and a nurse maid to France after he was drwn and Quartered. It is also said there has been a william Wallace as the first grandson from that time to now at least in our family. There is today still a tradition of doing this. My uncle is a William. Near as we can make out there wer several bastard children born to him and he acknowledged everyone but would never marry again in public because of the Prima Nocturn Law in Scotland it was one of the way's he snubbed the English. Legend goes that.......... ================================= I think it is a shame that someone uses a geneology page for their amusement. Yesterday, long Welsh names and now this. Sad, what some people do for fun...... -- Sconemac -------------------------------------------------------------------
