Tens of thousands of Waller descendants scattered throughout the mid-west and western parts of the United States have their roots in Roane County.
John Dickey, one of our greatest Waller genealogists, did a tremendous amount of work in and around Roane County. His line went to Texas along with the Rayburns that were to produce the famous "Speaker of the House".
At least two or three of Colonel George Waller's (Henry Co, VA) sons
migrated to Roane County.
"The extent and importance of the land holdings of the Waller families in
early Roane County is far greater than reported in published accounts"
If you need assistance interpreting the code they used in 1840, go to the Tennessee Home Page. From there go to the 1840 census which is state-wide. You will find an example and directions.
