Re: Waller ancestry

mycarrot — 2009-09-29 20:49:01Z

Alfred Alexander Phillips Waller(Saupauthari 1870) was the older brother of my Grandfather, Stephen John Henry Waller(Kolapur 1883) and one of at least 9 sons who lived to be adults of William Francis Frederick Waller VC and Mary Anna Grierson. Mary Anna and Frederick were both children of army surgeons David & Thomas respectively. I have at least one letter that Alfred wrote to my grandfather. Alfred moved to South Africa. I was able to find out that he had married Ethel and had children but little else. I assume the other names you list are from their children and grandchildren. Would love to learn more.

Re: Wallers in North Carolina

Terrae — 2009-05-06 22:32:37Z

Hello, my name is Natalie Griffin and I am married to William James Griffin, Jr. Bill is a descendant of Wiggins Griffin, who married Rachael (maiden name unknown) and Susan (we believe last name is Waller.) I have a marriage date of 08 Sep 1830 in Crawford, Georgia (this one is for Wiggins and Rachael). Then Wiggins married again, this time to Susan Waller. I have a marriage date for that union of 15 Aug 1844, in Sumter, Alabama. I think Wiggins was born in North Carolina and may have met one of his wives, possibly Susan, in North Carolina, and married in Alabama. I have been unable to move beyond Wiggins Griffin, or Susan Waller. If anyone is able to provide any help with these people, I would be very grateful. You can contact me at: NHBJGRIFF@AOL.COM. Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Re: Dorothy King?? Wife of John Waller of K.W. and Spotsylvania Counties, VA

blbblb — 2009-05-08 02:06:38Z

I appreciate your response, the info, and the links. I am looking forward to viewing the W & M Quarterly issues you suggest. I have not seen "considerable documentation" regarding this marriage and I hope to locate leads and primary sources. I would class the info I've found as "said-to-be."
I like and appreciate family traditions, but they, sometimes, are not very accurate. I do think Dr. John Waller's wife was Mary Pomfrett and that Pomfrett was her maiden name. Another point of controversy is Dr. John's daughter Mary Waller who appears to have died as an infant in Newport Pagnell. My research also arouses doubt that Dr. John Waller is the son of Thomas and Ann Keats Waller of Beaconsfield. I enjoy the tradition of the Beaconsfield Wallers, but the accepted relationship may be in error. That's another research issue without easy answers.

Dorothy King?? Wife of John Waller of K.W. and Spotsylvania Counties, VA

blbblb — 2009-05-03 02:13:06Z

I know John Waller's (1672/73-1754), first clerk of Spotsylvania Co. VA and sometimes called Col. John Waller, wife's first name was Dorothy. She left a will which verifies this. Has anyone documentation or info that would actually verify her maiden name was King? The only basis I have seen for King as a maiden name is that a King family owned property near John Waller. That, alone, seems quite a leap.

Re: C0l. John Waller.. born 1673, d. 1754

janwolfe1 — 2009-06-21 03:41:14Z

There is a lot of information about David de Wollore/Wollovre/Wollovere/Wooller/Wallore, who was master of the rolls from about 1345-1370 during the reign of King Edward III and held many benefices granted to him by Edward III.

Records in the Calendar of Close Roll, Edward III, show that David de Wollore (also spelled Wollovre) was an attorney as early as 1327. David de Wolleie, likely the same man, is mentioned 28 July 1325 as keeper of the rolls of chancery in the Calendar of Close Rolls, Edward II. Records in the Calendar of Patent Rolls show David de Wollore receiving grants from Edward III as early as 1338. 18 Nov 1369 is the date of the last entry showing an action by David de Wollore in the Calendar of Patent Rolls of Edward III. Apparently he had died by 14 September 1370, when one of the benefices he held was collated to Simon Langham. Some more recent books about David's career give his name as David de Wooller.

Pedigrees of Richard Waller, hero of Agincourt, sometimes claim this David as the brother of an ancestor of Richard Waller and claim that this David descended from an Alured, of Newark in the county of Nottingham, who died in 1183. I have not found evidence for either claim.

The family of Alured le Walur is documented. In the mid 1100s-early 1200s, the family of Alured le Walur of Newark and Hockerton in Nottingham and his wife Adelina granted land to the monks of Rufford. Rufford Charters (Vol. I-IV), edited by C. J. Holdsworth, presents transcriptions and analysis of these grants. [Thoroton Society Record Series, Vol. XXIX, 1972; XXX, 1974; XXXII, 1980; and XXXIV, 1981 (Index)]

In her discussion of the Hockerton grants to Rufford, Holdsworth writes, "few of the early grants to Rufford were unencumbered with services or rents of one kind or another. Alured le Walur gave the land in fee, in consideration of eight shillings which the monks gave him, at an annual rent of six shillings 'et forinseca servicia'. This rent was reduced some years later by his wife in return for a substantial 'bribe' (172), but it was not until half a century after the original grant that Alured's grand-daughters finally remitted the whole of it (174, 175) and the terms of their confirmation of the land still burden the monks with forinsec service. Alured's original grant and his wife's charter suggest that the land was part of her dowry which she had brought him as a daughter of a Basilia of Hockerton whose approval had to be sought before Alured could grant the land. The casual way Basilia's husband is referred to by Alured and the way his wife omits all reference to her father in her charter suggest that women still held a very significant status, and that one is dealing here with the descendants of some Saxon sokeman who was overlooked in the survey made in 1086. A survey made in Newark towards the end of the twelfth century shows that Alured held property there and it is interesting to find that witnesses from the town heard his wife agree to his grant (180). Alured's grant was made known by a document issued in the name of the chapter of Southwell, a form used in two other early grants in this village (178, 179). ... A further indication of the difference between Alured le Walur and his wife is provided by the fact that whereas his grant was made known by Southwell, and not otherwise, she issued a charter in her own name." [p. 83-84]

Documents in the Nottinghamshire Archives concerning these grants mention Alured le Walur, his wife Adelina, sons John and Milo, grandson Henry (son of John) and granddaughters Adelicia and Margaret (daughters of Milo). [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/default.aspx]

Documents included in Rufford Charters also mention William and Walter le Walur and a William Waller living in the thirteenth century. From these or related documents, John Throsby constructed a pedigree of the le Walur family. [Thoroton's history of Nottinghamshire: republished, with large additions, by John Throsby, and embellished with picturesque and select views of seats of the nobility and gentry, towns, village churches and ruins, Vol. 3, Published by J. Throsby, 1790, based on Robert Thoroton (1623-1678), The antiquities of Nottinghamshire, extracted out of records, original evidences, leiger-books other manuscripts, and authentic authorities. Beautified with maps, prospects, and portraitures.]

Throsby’s pedigree is as follows: Basilia de Hockerton=Gumbertus-->Adelina=Alured le Walur-->Johannes le Walur-->Henricus le Walur-->Willielmus le Walur-->Walterus le Walur-->Henricus le Walur=Alicia. He lists siblings Robertus and Milo for Johannes, siblings Henricus and Agatha=Stokes for Walterus, and daughters Alicia and Margareta for Milo.

Trevor Foulds, The Thurgarton Cartulary, Stamford: Paul Watkins, 1994, p. xl-lx, suggests that Alured’s wife Adelina was the daughter of Gubert and Basilia and that Basilia was the daughter of Ralph 2nd baron Deyncourt, son of Walter 1st baron Deyncourt. The author also suggests that this Walter’s wife Matilda may have been of royal descent, either a daughter of William the Conqueror or an Anglo-Saxon princess.

"Walter Deyncourt came from Ancourt (Seine-Inférieure, arr. Dieppe, cant. Offranville). He was a kinsman of Remigius, first Norman bishop of Lincoln (1072-92), who was formerly a monk and the almoner of the Norman abbey of Fécamp. ... Remigius provided King William I with a contingent of ships to enable him to invade England. At what time Walter Deyncourt arrived in England is unknown for his first recorded appearance in history is in Domesday. The only other documentary appearance of Walter 1st baron was as a witness to the confirmation made by William II to the Warenne foundation of Lewes priory (Cluniac, Sussex) dated 1088-91. Walter was the thirteenth witness out of twenty." [p. lv]

"In 1086 Walter 1st Baron Deyncourt held lands as a tenant-in-chief in five counties: Derbyshire (six manors), Lincolnshire (sixteen manors), Northamptonshire (one manor), Nottinghamshire (eighteen manors) and Yorkshire (two manors). ... The Domesday holdings were derived from at least five antecessors, Tori, Hamine, Swain cilt, and Wada, and ten other men, Siward and Elwi, Archil and Leuric, Godric, Aldene and his two brothers, Wulfric, and Swain (possibly the same person as Swain (cilt)."

Re: Dorothy King?? Wife of John Waller of K.W. and Spotsylvania Counties, VA

kwaller118 — 2009-05-08 08:45:01Z

Family oral tradition and colloquial tales make up an important part of our past, but more often, our stories point down the wrong path. The Waller family is no different. Long ago we bent facts to point to Edmund the Poet and we often try to make him our direct relative and claim the Coat of Arms of a common ancestor. Naming conventions also make research difficult to follow. The path seems to follow Dr John Waller of England, his son the colonist Col John Waller of Virginia, and his son the Reverend John Waller Jr. The content of Col John Waller’s library suggests diversity and maybe this is because these are the books of several family members.

A relationship between Col John Waller and John Key needs exploration because there is documentation to support land transactions and family relationships. Land was conveyed and between Col John Waller and John Key. Maybe there was a family connection back in England, but Mary Pomfrett seems to be John Waller’s wife, but his will must be considered also. Here are more supporting sources. The Library of Virginia has original documents that have considerable information.

There are considerable documentations pertaining to the 1697 marriage of John Waller and Dorothy King, but these ideas also create some conflicts with the general contentions of our family traditions. John of Virginia is often confused with his father Dr John Waller, but more controversial is the wife of Dr John Waller, who married Mary Key or Mary Pomfrett. Research points more favorable to Mary Pomfrett. Here is a list of supporting sources for Col John Waller and his family some are from academic journals and others from the website.

Re: Dorothy King?? Wife of John Waller of K.W. and Spotsylvania Counties, VA

The information on the following link shows that Edmund Waller (1605/1606-1687) was the ancestor of the "Virginia Wallers" (which may or may not be correct).

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/4386/waller.htm

While I have not yet determined the exact "connection" to the Waller family, this information (towards the bottom of the document) includes a mention of the wealthy Charles Browne of Maryland who married Priscilla Brooke.

There was a John Smith, son of Colonel Maurice Smith of Middlesex Co., VA, who married a Sarah Waller (she was born 1766-1767, and she was a daughter of Benjamin Edmund Waller of Spotsylvania Co., VA, as I recall). There are some clues that SUGGEST that both John and Sarah (Waller) Smith had died by 1820/1821 (possibly in Essex Co., VA, since their daughter Sarah Waller Smith married in Essex in 1823....though John and Sarah had lived in Mathews Co., VA earlier) and left a "toddler Smith" (who was born about 1817) who was "taken-in" by a John and Mary (Bennett) Brown (who married in Middlesex Co., VA in 1805...though it APPEARS that this John Brown had lived in Essex Co., VA as late as 1803). I do not know how/if this John Brown was related to the above-referenced Charles Browne (who had a son named Bennett Browne who left MD and migrated to Essex Co., VA), but a great-grandson (it seems) of Charles and Priscilla (Brooke) Browne named Christopher Tompkins Browne/Brown was on the 1830 Essex Co., VA census and then on the 1840 Middlesex Co., VA census. The above John Brown (died late-1820s) was the only Brown mentioned by name of the 1810 and 1820 Middlesex Co., VA censuses, and the above Christopher Tompkins Brown was the only Brown mentioned by name on the 1840 Middlesex census (and there were no Browns at all on the 1830 Middlesex census).

Can anyone explain just what the "connection" was between the family of Charles Browne (and/or his wife Priscilla Brooke) and the Waller family? Was the "connection" so close that it could explain an orphaned son of Mrs. Sarah (Waller) Smith being taken-in by John and Mary (Bennett) Brown around 1820-1821(ASSUMING, of course, that this John Brown was, in fact, related to the family of Charles Browne)?

Another "chart" on the Waller family can be found here:

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~deschart/z0000123.html

The above-referenced marriage between John Smith and Sarah Waller can be found in the above information. Note: The info in this "link" may not totally agree with the info in the first link shown at the top of this message.

Note: Bennett Browne, a son of Charles Browne and Priscilla Brooke, was named for the husband of a grandaunt (Richard Bennett, Junior, son of Governor Richard Bennett of VA). It is not clear, however, how/if the unknown father of the Mary Bennett (born circa-1785) who married John Brown (also born circa-1785) in Middlesex Co., VA in 1805 was related to this overall Bennett family.

Any/all information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Janay Loyd,

You do have the right family, there was a katy and catherine waller in this family. John and Jinny were my great-grand parents. Go to the Waller-Richmond website and look for a Fred Waller of Chicago who is katy's nephew. I think catherine and katy were two different brothers children. Katy had a brother John Bush Waller who was Freds father. Also if you go to the McClarty site you can get some information there, these two families married into each other.

I am the granddaughter of Euclid Waller, I do know that when he left MS, with his wife Mamie McClarty, he already had two children, a son Duke who I believe name was John and a daughter Sallie who is still in chicago. My mother Josephine was born in arkansas. They then moved to chicago where 3 more children were born, Lula and Euclid Jr. and Walter who died as a baby.

I'm looking for a book. "Waller - A Family History - part 1" by J. Ralph Dickey. If anyone has a copy of this book for sale, I'll buy it. OR if you'll copy it for me, I'll pay all expenses. I'd even be happy if you'd look up some information for me. My line is Richard Hancock Snow. Thank you in advance for your help.

Holly Springs, Mississippi Wallers

Jloyd89 — 2009-07-26 06:20:26Z

Is there anyone who is related to the wallers from Holly springs, miss. the oldest members i have is a John Henry Waller and his wife Jennie Moore-Waller who married in 1870 i believe. they had 19 or 21 children. john and jennie would be my 3rd great grandparents. I don't know what son is my great great grandfather, I just know he had a child which is my great grandmother Mary-Elizabeth Waller. if anyone have any more information that they would like to share with me that would be great!

Re: Waller descendent

Jloyd89 — 2009-08-03 14:48:48Z

Thanks for the information. Do you know a Katherine/Catherine Waller, she is no longer living and she had a daughter named ava who is also no longer living. Also do you have any information on John and Jennie Waller born in Holly Springs,Mississippi. they were the parents of Euclid and the rest of his siblings.

Re: John and Margie Waller

Jloyd89 — 2009-06-19 13:52:56Z

Hi, do any of your wallers connect to a Jennie and John waller?

Re: Waller descendent

Jloyd89 — 2009-08-03 18:30:56Z

Yea i've been on the waller-richmond family site, but i still haven't figure out who my great great grandfather was. Hopefully Fred Waller will have some information that will help. All i really know is that one of the Waller brothers had a daughter with a white woman, which produced my great grandmother Mary-Elizabeth waller, but she wasn't raised by neither one of her parents. it's very confusing which makes it harder, But i will check out the McClarity site and see will i find out anything else. thanks for the information, I really appreciate it.
