This can't be right
This can't be the John Waller that purchased Kunta Kinte. Or the date of death on John Waller's page is wrong. Because the Wikipedia page for this John Waller states that he was born in the 1600's and died in 1754. Kunta Kinte is said to have been born in 1750 and came to America in 1767, 13 years after this John Waller is supposed to have died. TwilightReader100 (talk) 19:43, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Further thought on this leads me to believe it would be a grandson or great grandson of this generation. The man who purchased Kunta Kinte from the ship was alive up to some 20-30 years after 1767. He even had a baby sometime in the 1780's, a daughter they named Anne. TwilightReader100 (talk) 19:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Category:American slave owners
He was a slave owner.
 * I notice this statement getting slotted into wiki pages with no relevance to anything before after. Any plantation owner of his time would have been a slave-owner. The mention seems to me non-encyc, and I feel that the category should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude (talk) 13:24, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
