descent from William Wallace the Guardian, so-dubbed 'Braveh

It has come to my attention that,
according to ancient oral tradition, sir William
Wallace, allegedly of Elderslie, the Guardian of
Scotland, had a daughter (then probably by a liaison
not in wedlock). The Guardian William Wallace's
daughter is said to have married sir William Baillie,
of Hoprig. There is no known contemporary written
evidence to support this, but "the oral testimony
appears to have been well established from very early
times".

for example:

If this filiation is true, then the Guardian Wallace
has descent to the present day, through the Baillie of
Lamington:

which brings us to the quicksand of Baillie-Lamington
lineage (with all those named William and more or less
easily confused with each other)
http://genealogics.org/descend.php?pers ... 6&tree=LEO
(which presentation as of today, I presume, is based
on the table in Stirnet genealogies, or same sources
as Stirnet used. There may be room for corrections, I
think, particularly as Stirnet page now seems to voice
some doubt about some details of the lineage there
presented.)

In 17th century, the Lamington lineage clears a bit,
and will lead to Barons Lamington of 19th century:
http://genealogics.org/descend.php?pers ... 5&tree=LEO
- Being, however, presumably of a Maxwell agnatic
lineage and not of agnatic Baillies of the late
medieval mire of subsequent ones named William,
referred to in above.

Of course the Lamington lineage, as itself, is worthy
to make clear, as part of Scots "gentry" of attested
medieval heritage.
However, I think that many people will be interested
in this lineage particularly because of its alleged
descent from the Guardian William Wallace, 'the
Patriot' to some. Wherefore ensues the question to add
to and assess the evidence about the purported
daughter of William Wallace.
