About
John Waller (January 23, 1673 – August 2, 1754) was a planter, military officer and politician in the Colony of Virginia who was the effective progenitor of one of the First Families of Virginia, and who represented King William County in the House of Burgesses, and helped secure creation of Spotsylvania County, then served as its first clerk for two decades. Complicating matters, the name was common in the family and not only did this man serve as Spotsylvania's clerk, so did his sons Edmund and William and two grandsons named John (sons of different sons), so that family members served as Spotsylvania's clerk for 64 years. Moreover, two descendants named John Waller also would serve in the Virginia House of Delegates: one from Bourbon County before creation of the state of Kentucky, and the other represented York County in the assembly of 1800 while his cousin Benjamin C. Waller represented Williamsburg, which had become the colony's capital city during this man's lifetime, and was split between York and James City Counties, but during the American Revolutionary War, Richmond had become the capital of the new Commonwealth of Viginia.
