Genealogists have succeeded in individualising the far-famed Peter Waldo, and have put on record that he died in Bohemia in 1179 — that he was unmarried — but that he had a married brother, Thomas Waldo, whose children retired from their native town, Lyons, and settled in the Netherlands, where they were represented in the reign of our Queen Elizabeth. One of their name fled from the Duke of Alvas persecutions in 1568, and founded families in England; among them the tradition is that his name was Peter; at all events he was a Waldo, was twice married, and had eight children, of whom Lawrence and Robert left descendants. Robert Waldo founded a family at Deptford. The noteworthy persons of the Waldo stock descended from Lawrence Waldo, citizen and grocer, of the parish of Allhallows, Bread Street, London, who died in 1602. He had fifteen children, of whom the twelfth was Daniel Waldo (born 1600, died 1661), citizen and cloth-worker. From him and Anne Claxton, his wife, the persons of whom I have to speak, sprang. This second son was Sir Edward Waldo (born 1632, died 1707); he had a splendid town mansion, which, on occasions of public pomp and civic pageantry, was the resort of members of the Royal family, and where he received the honour of knighthood from Charles II. on 29th October 1677. Sir Edward was married three times, and is represented in the female line through the descendants of his first wife (Elizabeth Potter, an heiress) by Calmady Pollexfen Hamlyn, Esq., and Vincent Pollexfen Calmady, Esq. By his third wife he had one daughter, Grace, whose first husband was Sir Nicholas Wolstenholme, Bart., and who was married secondly to the eighth Lord Hunsdon. Sir Edwards maternal grandfather was a proprietor in Harrow-on-the Hill, and thus the Waldos took root in that classical region. In Harrow Church a marble monument stands with this inscription:—
