History is not only written by kings and generals, emperors and potentates. It is written by millions of individuals with fierce determination, unwavering character and the intestinal fortitude to persevere. Such a man was Richard Burrell Waller, the first of the Waller family to know Florida as home, more specifically, Istachatta.
This family history explains who the Wallers of Istachatta are and why, at times, the way that they are. So, let it not be forgotten, the history from whence they came, while they continue making the history today, which will become their history for tomorrow.
