Thomas Waller (1696-1767)& Mary Threikeld (1692-1770)
Thomas Waller was born Feb 20, 1696 in Wallers Adventure, Somerset, Maryland, (Waller’s Adventure as the sixth child of William Waller and Bridget Nelson). He had eleven siblings, namely: John, Major, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Alice, Jane Ann, William, Bridget, George, Nelson, and Katherine Washington. He died Nov 18, 1767 in Delmar, Sussex, Delaware, USA. When he was 18, He married Mary Threkeld 1715 in Stepney, Somerset, Maryland, Thomas Waller lived in Princess Anne, Somerset, Maryland, USA 1753.
Charles Waller's book says he was a staunch member of the Anglican Church (Episcopal)As were his 5 sons. The marriage dates and brides named are recorded on the oldest extant register of old Stepney Parish of Somerset County.5 sons and 3 daughters were born on "Paarish" plantation north side of Blackwater Creek4 miles west of Delmar. (Dad said that there was a place near our farm called blackwater creek wich is about 2 miles west of delmar)
See "Citizens of the Eastern Shore, 1659 - 1670", Vol. 1, p. 11, or from "The Chesapeakers" (pp. 58, 59, 96, 99, 102 or 106)-I have copied The Chesapeakers, but not yet found Citizens of the Eastern Shore. There is a Waller Road that runs E-W, about 1/2 mile below the MD-DE line, just west of Delmar, DE, but no Waller Avenues in the nearby towns of Laurel, Delmar, Mardela, Hebron, Sharptown or Salisbury. Waller Road is the one I believe the Waller homestead in the area was located.

1713 Thomas Sr. moved to Blackwater Creek in Somerset county. He lived at "Parish" Plantation on the north side of Blackwater Creek which is presently 4 miles west of Delmar in Sussex Co., Del.

Thomas WALLER (1696-1767)
Thomas Wallers' Will was registered 1762 in Somerset, Province of
Maryland, [Maryland State Archives Lib 36, f. 219] where he leaves part of 'Steppeny' and part of Parish to his wife Mary during her natural life. It looks like there are two inventories associated with his probate.
Thomas arrived around 1666 in Accomack, VA, and was brought to Nanticoke 100 by Robert Collier. We think he finished his 'indenture' (in this case, paying his debt for being
transported) and then began to acquire his own lands around 7-8 years later, as well as having gotten 50 acres from Robert Collier, who received land grants from transporting immigrants. If so, my Thomas may perhaps be the original owner of some of the lands mentioned by 1734. And From what I have read, the earlier sons born on Waller's Adventure--including a Thomas & Nathanial, I think, moved north to seek their own land, near the current MD/DEL line.
GENERATION 3 - This is where the Threlkeld family line joins the Waller family line
Thomas WALLER was born Feb 20, 1696 in Wallers Adventure, Somerset, Maryland, USA (Waller's Adventure as the sixth child of William WALLER and Bridget NELSON). He had eleven siblings, namely: John, Major, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Alice, Jane Ann, William, Bridget, George, Nelson, and Katherine Washington. He died Nov 18, 1767 in Delmar, Sussex, Delaware, USA. When he was 18, He married Mary THRELKELD 1715 in Stepney, Somerset, Maryland, USA.
Thomas WALLER lived in Princess Anne, Somerset, Maryland, USA 1753.
Thomas WALLER and Mary THRELKELD had the following children:
1. Nathaniel WALLER was born 1713 in Somerset, Maryland, USA. He died Feb 23, 1786 in Sussex, Delaware, USA. He married Elizabeth STROBRIDGE Sep 21, 1741.
2. Thomas J WALLER was born 1714 in Somerset, Maryland, USA. He died 1723. He married Jane CALLOWAY.
3. Richard WALLER was born 1716 in Somerset, Maryland, USA. He died Jun 06, 1784 in Sussex, Delaware, USA. He married Ann COTTMAN.
4. John WALLER was born 1718 in Somerset, Maryland, USA. He died 1723. He married Mary HUFFINGTON.
5. William WALLER was born 1722 in Stepney Parish, Somerset, Maryland, USA. He died Feb 24, 1776 in Sussex, Delaware, USA (estimated date - 11 days before probate date). He married Rachel JONES Aug 18, 1744 in Stepney Parish, Somerset, Maryland, USA.

7. Elinor WALLER was born 1724. She married John PARREMORE.***
"My family information has John Parramore/Parremore (1718 - 1798) married to Amy's sister, Eleanor Waller. They moved to western Pennsylvania & had several children, including John Parramore, Jr (1751 - ).
Terry"
Thomas WALLER and Mary THRELKELD were apparently married in another building--at least, their records are likely to have been housed elsewhere originally. No THRELKELDs are in the book at all. Since according to typical English (which they still were at this point) parish law, they likely married within the congregation of her parents; wherever that was exactly, I don't know.
? Waller was born 1723. She married John Parremore 18 AUG 1744. Daughter of Mary and Thomas Waller
8. Mary WALLER was born 1726 in Unknown. She married Aaron CARTER.
