William Waller + Elizabeth Macon. "Mr.William Waller was my grandfather's eighth child. He was bred a merchant and established himself first at Hanover Town. While living there he married a Miss Macon of that county, and disliking his situation, he quitted merchandize, bought him an estate called Belfield situate on York river above York-town where he removed. He resided here ever afterwards until his decease which occurred in 1799. He also left children. To him my grandfather devised the estate in Greensville, which he purchased during the war."
