Steven Rollinson Wallace: > Let me ask you a question. Was Sir William's father the first recorded > Wallace? Does anybody have real records from that period? The first recorded Wallace that I can find is listed in a book called "Scottish Nation" by a certain Anderson, which states that "Eimerus Galeius" was born in Wales and settled in Scotland and was a witness of the foundation charter of the abbacy of Kelso by King David I, AD 1128. His son, Richard Walense of Riccarton, Ayr, succeeded him and witnessed the charter for the abbacy of Paisley in AD 1160. I hope this answers your question. -- Larry Slight Director/Vice President Clan Wallace Society
