DROUBHAN, PETERS, STUART, WALLER:
The search for my Ggrandfather has led me to Todd County. I found a death record for Zachary Taylor WALLER d. 1915, in Todd County. I am not sure if this is the right Zach, until I send away for the death cert. I show Zach married to a Georgia DROUGHAN, there are two (known) children Eustis WALLER, and Edgar Stuart WALLER b1892 (my name sake). I know they lived in the Arlington Virginia area. where Edgar married Anna Louise PETERS, There were three children Mary, Judith and Edgar, Jr. I would like to add to what little I have. Any help with the WALLER family name or the DROUGHAN name would appreciated very much. I also suspect my middle name STUART is from one of my Great grandmother's maiden names as was the tradition in some families in that time period.

When I was a little girl we heard we had relatives in Kentucky. LILLESTON is not a common name. Thanks. Barbara Harrison Posted: April 14, 1997
