I don't think you'll find much information on the Shallot, Escargot or Alcorn families from within Sims lore as the Shallot and Escargot family names seem to be a reference to The Lady of Shalott poem by Alfred Tennyson, also known as "Lady of Escalot (Demoiselle d'Escalot)" in French and "La Damigella di Scalot" in Italian.
Escalot/Scalot are the French and Italian counterparts for Shallott, Escalot being very similar to Escargot. The Lady of Shalott is also known as Elaine of Astolat.
In the poem, Elaine has a father named... Lord Bernard of Astolat.
It would make sense to me that Lord Bernard of Astolat aka Lord Bernard d'Escalot was infact Lord Bernard Shallot I and that Bernard IV is a descendent of one of the brothers of The Lady of Shalott, as in the story she dies without children but has two brothers. Sir Torre and Sir Lavaine.

PS. In the extended legacies game I am creating... I have linked these characters as Bernard and Mimsy' ancestors and also created further branches of descendants from these ancestors to ensure that the Shallot, Escargot and Alcorn families are represented in the modern day.
Lord Bernard Shallot V (Bernard IV Cousin) is currently residing at Von Haunt Estate as Lord, with Sebastien Escargot II (Bernard IV Cousin), Mimsy Alcorn II (Mimsy Niece) and Milton Alcorn III (Mimsy Nephew) all claiming their legitimacy as Lord/Lady of Von Haunt Estate.
