At Mattoax, near Petersburg, is the tomestone of one Martha Hall, who died in 1784, aged 36. There is a tradition that the father of Martha Waller was Robert Hall, of Barbadoes. Robert Hall, probably the father of Martha Waller, was living in Prince George county in 1726, when Edward Wyatt made him his executor in his will. In Thomas Addis Emmett's Tucker of Bermuda, Bardstreet Press, New York, Mary Tucker, sister of Elizabeth, who married Daniel Tucker, married a Hall, first name not given. The dates would allow her to be the mother of Martha Waller.
