Misc. Notes
Colonel John Waller (1673-1754) the second son of Dr. John Waller and Mary Pomfrett, was born at Newport-Parnell, Buckinghamshire, England on 23 February1673. About 1696, while yet in his twenties, John Waller came to Virginia and purchased 1039 acres of land from Elias Downs, located in Pamunkey Neck, on the Mattaponi River in what was to become King William County, Virginia in 1701.
Over time he became a Colonel of Militia and acquired additional land in the western part of King William County, which ended up in the new County of Spotsylvania when the county was organized in 1720.
In 1722 he became the first Clerk of the New County of Spotsylvania, an office that would remain in his family for three generations, as two sons and two grandsons served the County.
In 1723, Colonel John Waller moved his home to Spotsylvania County, calling the new plantation "Newport". He was made a Vestryman of St. George Parish, Spotsylvania County in 1745 and a Trustee of the new City of Fredericksburg in 1747. He was succeeded as County Clerk in 1742 by his son, Edmund. He died in 1754.
