1860 census Claiborne Parish, LA has 9 yr old D.H. (Daniel H.?) & 5 yr old L.D. (Lola Deomotus?) who are children of Jos/Jas (James?) & S. (Susan?) Waller ages 52 & 42, both listed as born in GA. No Lucy on this census.

I also have the 1870 census Columbia County, AR with James, Susan, Daniel & Lola all 10 yrs older than 1860 census. Parents James & Susan listed again as born in GA. This census has the addition of Lucy age 17. I have marriage papers for Daniel M. (not Daniel H.) Waller & Lucy Long of Arkansas in 1869, ages 18 & 16. That would make Lucy 17 yrs on 1870 census. Need to clarify date of this census is January or June, as son of Daniel & Lucy (Robert Lee) was born Feb. 1870 & not on this census.

The 1880 census for Grimes, TX precint 6 has Lucy McAlpin married to William McAlpin (should be McAlpine) & a 10 yr old son Robt Waller, also Lucinda Long age 55 who I have verified with someone else as Lucinda (Looney) Long, mother of Lucy Ophelia Long. Robt. Waller appears on another 1880 census below.

1880 census for 3rd Ward, Union, Louisiana has Danl. H. Waller age 29 & married to Nancy F. Waller born 1855 LA, and a 6 yr old son Robt. L. Waller (should be 10?). I know the census info can be wacky, but 4 yrs off for possibly the same child doesn’t make sense to me. This includes Sara R. Slater as sister-in-law, 1855 AR. Nancy & Sara father born in MS, mother in AL. Daniel H. again lists both his parents places of birth as GA.

1900 census for Arkansas-Howard-Franklin-Dist 71 lists Daniel H. Waller age 50, born 1850 AL, but lists his parents as both born in N.C. Daniel is now married to Sara A. born 1856 in LA as are both her parents. This census doesn't match up too well to the others.


The obituary for James Monroe Waller found on findagrave.com lists one of his sons as Daniel M. not Daniel H. Please help identify Daniel H vs. Daniel M
Also, the obit on findagrave lists James Monroe Waller's parents as Joseph Waller Jr. & Bridget Sackwell. This contradicts info found on ancestry.com. Can anyone verify this?

I can email copies of Daniel M. Waller/Lucy Long marriage papers, death certificates for Robert Lee Waller (son of Daniel) and Martha Viola Waller (Robert Lee's wife) if anyone wants. request to ryan_waller@hotmail.com
