I guess I'm trying to find out if there is sufficient evidence for this profile to even be connected to Sir John Wallace. Thanks.

This https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XT1R-LQX

seems to be the baptismal record referred to in the profile. However, the father is not Sir John Wallace.  It is Johne Wollis, who is the same father of a daughter Barbara Wollis:
