John Waller (c1420-1490) from whom sprang the Wallers of Beaconsfield
including Edmund Waller, Poet Laureate of England. In addition, many of the
Wallers from Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee are descendants of John. He
was settled in Leigh, County Kent, when he purchased Beaconsfield Castle in
Buckinghamshire, somewhere around 1450, and moved his family there to become
the first of the Bucks Wallers, and to begin a 200 year tenure for the
Waller Family. Beaconsfield is located about 25 miles northeast of London on
the main road to Oxford.
This link will take you to a listing of the next nine generations. That
takes us to the late 1600’s, early 1700’s when many of the American Waller
families were established. It allows American researcher’s to look for
familiar names. This listing also shows how far we have to go. There are
many dates missing and a lot of younger brothers and sisters not accounted
for. Please help us fill some of these gaps with documented information.
