WALLER FAMILY.
1. ISRAEL WALLER, parentage unknown, b. 1734; d. Sep., 1798, Roy .; m. abt. 1760, in Mass., Anna Buffington of Fall River, b. 1743; d. May 31, 1826, Roy .; both bur. in Howe Cem. He first appears on our records Mar. 23, 1779, when "Mr. Wallow" was appointed with Mr. Kent to read the Psalms. He was closely identified with religious organizations, and in 1782 was one of a committee to propose a salary to Mr. Ripley. In 1783 he was elected deacon of the Cong'l church, but in 1784 he was released from paying a tax raised for the settlement of Mr. Searle, and produced a certificate showing that he differed in faith from the majority of the church. He joined the Bap- tists probably about 1791, and was a deacon of that church. He was an original grantee of the town, and settled on lot known later as the Solon Lewis farm, W. 39 L. A. He was one of the men who drew lumber in 1780 for building Fort Fortitude in Bethel. i. Joseph, first paid poll tax in 1792; m. (1) Mar. 13, 1788, Lovice Durfee, b. Jan., 1760; d. Oct. 14, 1793; bur.

John C. m. (2) Aug. 24, 1796, Priscilla, dau. Asael and Mary (Duty) Smith, b. Oct. 21, 1769. She was aunt to Joseph Smith, Jr., the head of the Mormon church. In 1790, when the first census was taken, John was not married. He lived in Royalton village some time. He sold his pew in 1805, but a John was listed in 1812 and in 1816. In 1788 he brought action against a transient for theft; the culprit had to pay treble, and, as he had no money he was assigned to service one year to Heman Durkee, and to "be whipt on ye naked back ten stripes, and pay costs." This is the only record found of the infliction of this kind of punishment upon criminals in Royalton. Ch .: (a) Cal- vin C., b. June 6, 1797, Roy .; (b) Polly, b. Oct. 16, 1799; d.

It is not known when he returned, but perhaps not till after the charter was granted, as his name was not included with the grantees, like that of Garner Rix and Adan Durkee. He was not listed until 1792. He bought one-half of his father's farm in 1796, and seems to have remained on it until some time after his father's death.
