County of Renfrew -- Parish of Abbey
Note "Near the west end of the Village of Elderslie and on South side of the turnpike road passing through it. A tenement of rather ancient appearance is pointed out as the house in which the renowned hero Sir William Wallace was born, but if this brave defender of his Country was born, as is generally allowed, on the spot it must have been a habitation of older date. Adjoining this house is an old garden, from the foundation of whose walls about thirty years ago a stone was dug, having the following inscription cut in Roman letters, "W.W.W. Christ is only my Redeemer" - This stone was taken to Elderslie house, the seat of Alexander Speirs Esqr. "Near Wallace's House", the name by which the above mentioned mansion is Known, but to the north side of the turnpike road stands the very celebrated tree called "Wallace's Oak." - New Stat [Statistical] Account.
