Eufame Wallace, wife of Sir Robert Colville, 9th of Ochiltre

Hello,

Sir Robert Colville, 9th of Ochiltree, Ayrshire (d. bef. 24 January
1488/89) was married to one Eufame Wallace, who survived him, and had
by her: Sir William, his successor, David, Philip, and James [1]. Does
anyone have any thoughts as to Eufame's parentage? I'd be inclined to
suppose that she is descended from one of the principal Wallace
families in Ayrshire, perhaps Riccarton or Elderslie, but know of
nothing to indicate this beyond her name.

Sincerely,
Kelsey J. Williams

Dear Kelsey,

This may not give the answer you need but do you have access to Burke's
Landed Gentry of Great Britain, 19th Edition, Volume I, The Kingdom of
Scotland?

On page 1353 starts an entry for the family of Wallace of That Ilk, there is
mention of a book by Rogers "Book of Wallace". on page 1355 starts the
family of Wallace of Candacraig, which is a branch of the previous family
and starts branching off about 1600 and so is of no use to you.

There is mention of generations before William Wallace the patriot
ca.1270-1305 but the the proper family structure does not start until George
Wallace of Elderslie in 1466.
His son Patrick is mentioned but no wives for either.

Best wishes
Leo van de Pas
