Sussex County, Delaware
Return to Delaware
Home Page
Sussex County is one of the ancestral homes of the "Chesapeaker Wallers"
(see Somerset County, MD for an explanation of Chesapeaker)
Nathaniel Waller, grandson of founding immigrant John, found himself in
Delaware because the County and State lines were redrawn. Because he had six
sons and two daughters he deserves a page of his own.
