From Wikipedia - James Touchet, 5th Baron Audley :
James Touchet, 5th Baron Audley, son of John Tuchet , 4th Baron Audley and his wife Isabel, was a distinguished veteran of the Hundred Years' War . In the opening phase of the Wars of the Roses he raised troops from his estates in Cheshire , Shropshire ,Staffordshire and Derbyshire and commanded the Lancastrian force that moved to block the Yorkist Earl of Salisbury's route to Ludlow where he intended linking up with the rest of the Yorkist army. The two forces clashed in the Battle of Blore Heath on 23rd September 1459 and Audley was killed, possibly by Sir Roger Kynaston of Stocks near Ellesmere . After the battle (Kynaston incorporated emblems of the Audley coat-of-arms into his own). Audley's Cross still stands on the battlefield to this day, and marks the spot where he died. Audley was buried in Darley Abbey, north of Derby , about 40 miles away from Blore Heath. Unfortunately, the Abbey no longer stands, so his final resting place is no longer marked.

The children could either be from Elizabeth or her sister Janet, but John Ross's obituary states that his parents died young, so Elizabeth is the more likely candidate.
It also states that he had sisters, so there must have been more than one.

General Notes (Husband)
Donald Wallace (1816-?) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 1701; d. 1756. "Tradition says the first Wallace came to Ross[-s]hire as a manager to George McKinrie [Mackenzie (1630-1714), Earl of Cromerty [Cromarty], and that I am the ninth generation, him my great-great-grandfather, was Alex. Wallace. He was born about 1660; he died about 1740. He was twice married, and had 21 children. He was a very brave man. Lachlin [Lachlan?], my great-grandfather, was his son. It was from him that most of the Wallaces in Ross-shire sprung. He [Lachlin] was born 1701, died 1756. He had two sons, three daughters. His youngest son, John, was my grandfather. He [John?] left large offspring. Since the year 1838 he [John?] had 5 sons and 4 daughters. He [John?] died in 1849. His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father."
2 sons, 3 daughters.
Research Notes (Husband)
Per Donald Wallace in letter to Ed Wallace, Lachin was born in 1701 and died in 1756. If this is so, and his father, Alexander, did not marry Mary Monase until 1705, Lachlin's mother was someone else.
