As noted in the Book of Wallace ( See source) Adam only had 2 kids: Adam and Malcom, as noted in the Overview. But the immediate family listed about lists other children as well.

Adam Wallace of Riccarton had two sons, Adam and Malcolm; the elder succeeding to Riccarton, the younger obtaining the lands of Elderslie in Renfrewshire.
[The book of Wallace by Rev. Charles Rogers pub.1889]

Therefore

Sir Richard Wallace, Kt. And Margaret Wallace are misplaced.

Does anyone know where they belong?

Margaret is sourced, it was in her husband’s profile, Alexander Kneeland, 1st of that ilk

Alexander Cleland (1). — 1st Cleland of that ilk. The first of the family of which there is record is Alexander Cleland, or Kneland, of that ilk, in the County of Lanark, who married Margaret, daughter of Adam Wallace of Riccarton, and sister of Sir Malcolm Wallace, i.e., she was Sir William Wallace's aunt. (Document and Grossart's "History of the Parish of Shotts.") This Alexander is not mentioned by Nisbet. Probably born about 1230-1240. https://archive.org/stream/ancientfamilyofc00clel#page/11/mode/1up

Sir Richard Wallace, Kt. Shows as husband of Helen Bruce . http://www.thepeerage.com/p27461.htm#i274603 citing Burkes shows her as wife of Sir William Weir, Kt., of Blackwood. Geni is showing her as mother of Adam Wallace and Sir Duncan Wallace.

Adam Wallace of Riccarton, 3rd of Riccarton is still a 23rd great grand father, though I suspect through a different path as of my latest journey through the profiles. Picked up a couple more relatives it seems. I love how Geni sends me through different paths to the same result. Yeah, I do.

I’ve separated Helen Bruce from Helen Bruce
