Forde notes that Mary Pomfret Waller’s journey to the colony of Virginia after her husband’s death has long been a family legend. A deed exists in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, dated November 1724, that describes the property of Edward Herndon next door to Mrs. Mary Waller. For that reason, early Waller historians concluded that Mary Pomfrett Waller lived out her days with her son, Col. John Waller, and her daughter, Mary, wife of Edward Herndon. Andrew Riffe’s detailed study of the Waller family gives documented information on the family. Dr. John Waller’s will was written 21 Aug 1716, and it is transcribed below. He named his sons Benjamin, William, Thomas, John and Edmund, and his daughter, Jemima. No "Mary" was included in the will either as his wife or as his daughter. This strongly suggests that his wife predeceased him. It also strikes a blow at the theory that Edward Herndon’s wife was Mary Waller, daughter of John Waller. John would have been about seventy years old in 1716. He died in August 1723
The children of Dr. John Waller and Mary Pomfrett are recorded as follows (from Riffe, including notes):
William, born 24 Sep 1671.
John Waller, born 23 Feb 1673; immigrant to Virginia (see below).
Mary, born 23 May 1674 (immigrant to Virginia?).
Thomas, born 17 October 1675
Steven, born 4 Nov 1676 (refer to notes for Mary for additional information)
Benjamin, born 18 Mar 1678 and died 1735; his will is recorded Archdeaconry of Bucks, Register 1734, No. 67.
Edmund, born 3 Feb 1680.
James, born 25 May 1683 and died January 1683/4.
Jemima, born 3 Aug 1684. She was unmarried at the time of probate of her father’s will in November 1723
- in William Pomfrett's will, dated 29 May 1666, proven 25 June 1667, Mary was unmarried and under 21, so born after 1645
