HISTOllY OF THE "IALLACE F.OOLY

~IALLACE HISTORY

The first ~!allnce of whom there is any recor d lIas Richard of Riccarton, .;Scotland, who ;·;&5 ccr:1 in 1l..43 and died in 12J4- -at tbe age of sixty-one years . ~e first hear of him officially when he signed his name to a charter in 1165-1thusly--Richar d ~-;~llense . (W-a-l- l-e- n-s- e). Ee seems to have had a great deal . ----. ~f possessions aro~~d Riccarton and also did he obtain from the High stGwart of ~cotland, a part of t he district wes t of ilyr . ,;t that ti.rn.e, in order that a ~ might have busin.ess tra.'1sactions directlv wi t h the High stewart, he iilust be ~man of affairs, either in a political way,~ or he had distinguished himself be~ ~ause of loyalty to a righteous cause.

In 1175 Richerd ls n.?..Ee again appears in the records when he signed deeds, .charters, \~i11s, e tc., and in each case he sighed his name uRi-chard YTallense It.

From his v:ill made in 1192, we learn that his ~~!ife '5 name was Janet and that he had t"o sons--Philip and Richard II. Philio "as born in 1170. Nothing

~ given of his fawily--hence it is supposed that he had none . Richard II was orn in ll72 a.'1d in ll96 n:a.rried Hargaret Buckinghar.!. When he Signed the marriage rmit, as tho;y ':ie:-e called, he changed the spelling of the name from walense to alays. (Vl- a- l - a-y- s) • .

Richard and H2r~aret had t'wo sons, Adam and Richard III. The youngest son, Richard died when but a small boy. Adam, the eldest son was born in 1197 and in 1218, married Christine Kilbans. Their two So..'15 were MFI.lcolm and Adam. Adam, the younger brother Vias born in 1223 sad in 1244 married the heiress of Craigie and inherited vast estates in that part of scotland. No further authentic records can be found of him..

Yalcolm, the older brother was borri in 1220 and in 1252 married Jean crawford, daughter of Sir Reginald Cra:'.\'ford, High Sheriff of Ayr. -- .

When but a you."1g man he was made a Baron, a title of nobility given to those, only, who had acquired possessions, sor.::~times by purchase, sometimes by inheri­tance, and sometimes be:ause of valu~ble services rendered. Upon receiving the title of Baron, a 1l'.a.'1 automatically becaJ!'.s a .member of the House of Parliament, a!l:d; .. of course , had part in making of the laws.

Malcolm received from his fathe!', Adam, vast estates in and around Ayr and' Elderlie, because it 'VIas tr.e .:::ustom in those days that a faithful elder son should become his fathsr1s successor . It is S~~Q that ths estates of Elderlie are in possessio!! of the Hall ace descend:nts to this day-(later in the history of the family, we l ca.rn th1.t th~ estat~s at Ayr wc:-e sold in 1720) or nearly five centuries later, and also do \':~ find th1.t about that year, our ancestors started their mgraticn to A."i13rica a.."1.d elsewher~.

J.(alcol.m., l .:-.,::;:r , ~·:J.s give!! the title of Knighthood because he so fearlessly championed the cause of ScOttiS;l Ind·~pcndencc. It will be remer.lbered at the time that th~ pecple of S:::otl.:nd lmder centrol of E.lgl.:L'1d and ,';ere in dire dis­tress because of ~"1glish Oppr~ssicn.

Immediately upon r eceiving the Hcnor cf Knighthood, he changed the spelling of the name from Wal.:i.ys to Vlallace. (Vl- r.-l-1-1:1.-c- c ) His family was the first to ha.ve the name that has come down through tl~e c~'1turies to the present days.

Malcolm and Jean Crewford-;'..'"allp..ce had three sens; Andrew, born in 1254, Ylilliam born in 1276, 2nd John bornin 12:77. In noting the difference in the ages of the t.!O older brothers (that of 22 years) history suggests that perhaps daughters were born to their parents, but as l:as the customs, not recorded.

By Malcolr::t and his three sons was Wallace history in Scotland made. It , seems necessary to r eview tbis bit of i'1istory hore befo:te we can understand clearly the rest of the ~Yallace history ~

•

Andrew, th'3 eldest son, became his father's body-guard. William became IISir tVilliam", the Heroic Defender of scotti::;h Indepe!ldence, as he was lovingly called by the people of Scot1end, and the younger brother John, besides being a .fighter, Vias destined to becomE:' our ancestor.

HISTORY OF SIR WIIl.IAM WALU.CE AND HIS FATHER IJALCOLL! AND EROTHERS--ANIID."1 ",'ill JOHN

In 1291, Edward I, who was then King of England, ordere~ the Barons to swear aliegia.'1ce to hi..m.

Sir ?~;alcolm. absolutely refused to do so . He had already sworn allegiance to the people of scotland and they looked to him for their liberation from the yoke of England. He realized tha~ in refusing to do as the King requested, it would mean the giving up of his pa.:-t in the affairs of the government and in . all probability ,-;auld mean serious harm. to hio and his family, but to the Early martyrs, ioyalty t o one ls cO~1try, ceant ~re th&n life itself.

His fears were not ll.."1grounded because an edict ",-ent out fror.!. the King that the opposing Barons an.d their facili~s were to be hu."lted and pu.t to death. Sir Ualcolra and his eldest son :~ncirev{ toc! .. refugs in Lennox, scotland. Jean CraWfOrd­Wallace, and the YOlL'1ger sons , ;t~illic .. .'4, v:ho later bec2.r.le Sir V!illiam, and John, sOUbht protection of ~ powarful a.."ld. \,iealthy ralative of Kilspindie, scotland. (In the foot f'.!:!.tCG ~";e lr...: r~min:'ad that in those days it was harder for the Higher PaY-Jers of a nation to c~pture and I=-unish their opposition than it would be today under siIr...ilar circu..r:J!3ta..'1ces so that after things had quie ted dO'o'm in England, the Wallaces ae;ai!1 ti,.,ok U? th~ fight for the nomeland.)

The SO.:1, Y:illic..'"l , "1."::-.0 but a bo~: of fifteen years of age at the time the Edict \":~nt otr." displr..;.·ed a nos:::'oisr.1 \";nch has been unparalleled in all the his­tory of scotlc.nd .. In !'€t'..ll"':l , "the pee-pIe devotedly called him liThe Heroic De­fender of scottish Ir.depcndcnce l1 a t it"ie which ccrtainly was truthfully used.

At the age of t\'lenty yeers, he narried :Iiss Cornellia Bradiute:, "Who was spoken of a s t he heiress of Bradfut~ . Her vast estate bore her f~~ly name. They had one child, Eliza beth, \1ho was born in 1295. She married" Sir ~'.rilliam BailIe, a Scotch noblc!!lar1 . I~ot much is said of her after her marriage. During these few years after the edict was issued by the King , Sir Y1illiam and his father, and brothers continued their activities much to the annoyance of the British Official s .

Fi ·-.:!11y, Governor Hazelrig, the E.'l8lish Governor at Dundee , murdered Cornellia Bradfute-Yla llace , "life of Sir William. To avenge the murder of his wife, ha sIs.": several of the governor' s attendants and also the sheriff of Dundee. When he was pU!'sued, he fled to the woods and was ouUawed . Gathering together a great nurob.:!r of follol"lers, he drove the English out a great section, of Scotland and in 1297 d3feated the English a t the battle of stirling. It is on this site tret the '"'!allace f:J.Omlment was so lovingly erected by the people of his native land. Those of our families who have visited Scotland report that this monument i s one of the most wonderful pieces of masonry in that part of the country.

The battle of stirLL'lg liberated his country for a while. He was appointed one of the Commanders-in-chief of the Scottish armies and penetrated into Eng­land wi th fire and ~·,':o:-d.

King Edward of England was dOVin in Flanders, France when he heard of the activities of the scotch and hurried home in order to march his armies against

Sir William whOJll he finally defeated. Sir William, however, carried on guerilla warfare against England for several years but was finally. betrayed, captured and executed in London, on .".ugust 23, 1305, at the age of thirty-one years . on the same day of his execution, his f ather, Sir ~Ialcolm and his brother Andr~w, mat the same fate. It is pres~ed that they w~re all together when captUred and executed. t41drew left no family and Sir flilliaro. left the Daughter,. Elizabeth Wallace-Baillie. . ... .

John, tne youngest brother, was executed two years later in 13J7, leaving his wife, who was ).:ary Amour , and a small san John II.

over a span of seventy years or so, history gives no account of this remnant of the ~"iallace iamily, but historians in search of some traces of them reported the findi..ng of John II, at the end of seventy years ,. novi grown old, living in the castle a t Craigie. I t is re.Glembered that he was born in 1307, the year of his father1s execution. History t~lls us that in 1327 he married his childhood sweetheart , Elizabeth Eglinton. She met a tragic death soon after their marriage, and in 1330, John married Ear;2:aret De Linsey, daughter of Sir John l)e Unsey of Craigie from whoQ they had inherited the castle and estate.

Through a period of several hundred years, history gives but little of the personal live s of these ancestors , except to tell us that some were soldiers, some were merchants, so;ne were tillers of. the soil , some were government offi­cials, some were cini.sters; hence after the finding of John Wallace and M"argaret De Linsey-Wallace there is recorded very little except the lineage.

John and H3r~aret De Linsey-Wallace had a son Thomas, who was born in 1331. He married Elizabeth ste:::;nrt -i n 13~-~·b s name appears offiCially , when he wi tnessed a c bnr ter by Robert Duke of Albany: this charter granted by sale, all of the land in and a round Archi.nbothie to Thomas and his wife, ·Elizabeth stewart-l,rlallacc . It is a custom to this day that only people of very high­standing can be personally recognized by a Duke, even if only in th~ purchase of houses an.d l ands.

Thomas and Elizabeth ste'.¥art-Waliace had a son Geor ge who was born in 1352 and who in 1372 married Ear :f Lyons. They had a son Patrick born in 1374, and who in 1393 married catherIne Gr aham. of Ayr . They had a sen V.Jilliani" born in 1395 and who married Janet Sclla" in 1416. In his will dated 1440 he mentions the name of his wife, sever al ciaughters and his son, Hugh.

The son Hugh was born in 1419 and married Isobel Sandilland in 1438. He spent forty-nine years preaching in the parish churcheS-of their community.

Their son John was born in 1441, and in 1460 married Catherine C~gham.

Their son, Williatil., was born in 1463 and in 1482 he married Cat·nerine Crawford, a daughter of Sir Reginald Crawford of Kilbourne, Scotland, and granddaughter of the VisCOUntof Garnock . She died in 1522 and he di"d in 1532 .

. -..

Their son Thomas was born in 1485 and married Elizabeth J!urdock in 1504.

Their son Vlilliam born in 1511, married Jean Chalmers .i.1l 1532.

Their son ~ born in 1529, married his cousin Margaret Hamilton in 1560. Their son Vlilli.uu was born in 1564 and in 16'::>9 married uargaret stewart, daughter and only heir of Sir Hugh stewart, High Judge of the Cow-ts of sessions.

Their son William born in 1612 married Margaret Gillispie in 1638. Their son WilliaIJ born in 1640 \,'as the first of t he farrd.lY to leave the family estates. In 165B he carried Hadelene Turne r J and together they went to Gl asgow where he. went into business f or ri IilSelf and became a rich merchant. History tells us tbet they bed five sans and a daughter, Rebecca.

The two sons remaining were :ta.chael and Joh..'1. I,iichael as far as history reveals, was the first of t he Wall.ace family to come to America . He came with a number of other im....-d.grants to Virginia and t here married Miss Elizabeth Brown·, daughter of Dr . Gustavus Brown. and Francis FOV1ke-BroV'm. . .. Our " ancestor, t he r :=maining oon J ohn, 'was born in Glasgow in 1659. He must have J.ived there for some years as in 1684 Yle find him. to be Lord High­Chancellor of that section.

In 1679 he had married Miss Jean Kennedy, a beauty as well as an heiress, tor history tells us that because of her bea uty, paintings of her are found in many of the Art Galleries of Scotland to this day.

The beauty of the Wallace women can probably be traced to this gran~ther of the 17th century.

• John 'I-'!allacc and Jean Kenned.v-".'allace had a son Thomas who was born in ! Glasgow in 1687 , and married Lillia s Cuneingha'ne in 172:). Thomas and Lillias t left Glasgow and \'Ient to t he home of his foref at he rs at f"yr . The Wallace ~. estates at f..yr were sold this same year 172J, and each heir after receiving his

\

. portion, began to seek new homes in other i.ands. Thonas and Lillias died in Ayr leaVing a nU!ilber of daughters and a son, William.

The son \1illiam was bom at AJT in 1744 and in 177J married Jean Ca.mb<>ll who was born at "JT in 1754. Jean Cambell-71al1ace died at the birth of her son William in 17m.

The father was injured in an accident from which he died in 1789 and in those two intervening years, he had marri~d his second iufe, Ann Porterfield. His "Uwill" sbowed that he had three older children: sarah, Jean and Mary. He named as guardian of these three , ,\nn F. T,~a1la.ce of l1yr, bearing the relation to them of stepmother. As guardians of his small son, William, he named his sister, Mary \'lomac, and her husband, John Womac of Dublin, Ireland. .' .

father as many other young men in those -days, was a Scotch officer of the Civil Army. Owing to his refusal to do an unlawful piece of trickery against the poorer sections of the defensive, his commission lias taken from him, and he and his wife and several children went into Ireland, settling near Dublin. on February 11, 1787, the infant d~u5hter of J ohn and l~ry Nesbitt was christened by. Reverend John Boggs . The name given was t::ary Ann . Her maternal grandparents, Charles and Ellen Gibson stood sponsors. The ' ~rria&e perruit of this young couple was signed. by four people--one of them being his guardian, John Womac.

The records also show that on May 2, 1804, John Womac si gned over 1;.0 William Eal!?..£!:. all of his inheritance.

Records at t he ir...mi.gration Bureau, Dub lin, show that on June 9, 1804, William and 1iary Vlaliace, husband and wife , Scotc h emigrants of Dublin, I reland with many other English and Scotch ezigrants set sail from Dublin on the English steamer IIFrince Edward". All perscns r egister ed as they embarked. They had to have certifica.tes from their mini st er that t hey were good citizens and that they had conformed wi.th the 'rules of the church and also that it was their intenticn to establish a home in ~rica.

. Fourteen miles east of Knoxville , Tennes see , their tmerican home was organ­ized and establishsd, and o~ this fnrm t heir nine children wer e born.

It .is to be r egretted t hat we have but little of the history of some of the children of this bel o-:cd couple, but O\,I:lng to the fact that they settled in widely separated pa=ts of the c ountr y and through the years have kept but little trace of one another, 'W':) s hall have to devote the most of our far.d.ly lineage to' the t hree sons and their fac:i.lies , whose descendants have collected this in­formation.

The fath0r, Williaru Wallace of Rnomillc, Tennessee died of a fever at his home, fourteen miles cast of Knoxville, in January, 1823 , and is buried in the

Old Fairmount College which stood as a great watch- dog over the city of Wichita, from. the Early Eighties, was perhaps the most noted of the buildings which he help­ed to erect,

After he passed away it seemed to us that it was a monument to his memory, until a fire destroyed it in the summer of 1930.

Matthias Turner was of a retiring disposition and very · philanthropic though ~or his deeds of kindness desired no noterity or reward. In an early day, he deeded several acres of his home place near Benton, Kansas, to the community as a pl.ace of burial for their dead and in old west Benton cemetery, sleep many whose ~mories are very dear to each and every Wallace who lives today.
