Description:   Excerpt from The Genealogy and Biography of the Waldos of America From 1650 to 1883 According to Hasted, in his history of Kent, this family is said to be descended from thomas waldo, of Lyons, in the Kingdom of France, one of the first who publicly renounced the doctrines of the Court of Rome. One of his descendants, in the reign of Clueen Elizabeth, to escape the persecutions of the Duke d'alva, came over from the Netherlands to England, where his descendants afterwards settled. In a house belong ing to one of the representatives of the Waldo family, situated at Mitchans, in Surrey, England, there still exists a handsome carved oak wainscotting, with a curious oak chimney-piece, the cornice of the wainscot being a broad border of oak, richly carved with acorns, oak leaves and grapes, with the name Peter Waldo cut thereon, with the date 1575 or 1573, the last figure being dim, making it uncertain. The mistake about Peter Waldo being the first known ancestor may have originated from this second Peter, who was evidently a descendant of Thomas Waldo. It appears the celebrated Peter Waldo was never married, but he left at least two brothers, one of whom died a galley slave, and the other on his way to Bohemia, where, also, Peter died in 1 179. (letter dated March 3, 1863, from Rev. J. C. Goussier, British Chaplin at Lyons.) From 1575 to 1654 no records have been found relative to the family.
