Notes

Adam, the elder son, succeeded to Riccarton. In 1239 he is witness to a charter whereby Walter, son of Alan, Steward of Scotland, conveys to the Abbey of Paisley the churches of Dundonald, Sanquhar, and Auchinleck.1 As Adam Valleis he, in 1241, witnesses a charter whereby Sir David Hay, for the salvation of the soul of King William, and of his own father and mother, grants one net on the water of Tay to the monks of Cupar. In 1246 he is witness to a charter by which the second Walter the Steward conveys to the church of Paisley the possessions of the canons and nuns of Simpringham.

Adam Wallace of Riccarton had two sons, Adam and Malcolm; the elder succeeding to Riccarton— the younger obtaining the lands of Elderslie in Renfrewshire. 4

Comments

Adam Wallace of Riccarton, 3rd of Riccarton is seen in online trees as husband of Euphemia Stewart, an undocumented daughter of Walter (FitzAlan) Stewart, 3rd High Steward of Scotland, and the widow of Patrick ll de Dunbar, 5th/6th Earl of Dunbar. But more recent scholarship identifies the countess of Dunbar as Euphemia de Brus, countess of Dunbar, daughter of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale and Christine of Galloway. She died 1267. Patrick died 1246. Adam died soon after 1646. It does not seem possible for Euphemia to have married both men.
