Birth*	David Wallingford was born say 1760, probably in Rochester, New HampshireG.1
Marriage*	He married Sarah Corson, daughter of Ichabod Corson and Abigail Roberts, 8 November 1789 Rochester, Strafford County, New HampshireG. They were both of Rochester at the time of their marriage.2
Death*	David died, on 18 January 1816, in Milton, Strafford County, New HampshireG. The date on his gravestone supposedly reads 1815, but probate records clearly show him alive on 15 July 1815 and deceased by 25 April 1816, so if the January death date is correct it must have been in 1816. He was buried in the Plummer-Jones-Palmer Cemetery on Plummer's Ridge in Milton, N.H.3.4,5
	On 15 January 1781 David Wallingford of Rochester, husbandman, sold for 60 pounds to Stephen Wentworth of Rochester, innholder, 80 acres of land in Rochester. This land was one third part of the second division lot of land number 15 originally granted to John Ambler.6      He was a soldier on the NH Line in the Revolutionary War. His widow applied for a Bounty Land Warrant #17890-160-557.      He is enumerated in the 1790 census of Rochester, NH as having one adult male and one female, probably his new wife, in the household.8 Then in the 1800 census we find him still in Rochester (although Milton was separated from Rochester two years later so he probably lived in that part of Rochester that is now Milton) with two boys and two girls, all under ten, and two adult women between 26 and 45, one of whom may have been a sister or mother or some other relative.9 These four children match nicely with Samuel, Peter, Abigail and Mary. Probate records of his estate show no additional children than those mentioned here.      On 12 June 1815 his sons Samuel and Peter were appointed as his guardians as David was judged to be a "non compos and distracted person". They did an inventory of his estate the next month that shows a homestead farm of 70 acres in lot #72 in the 3d division of Milton, the original right of Samuel Alley, 100 acres in lot #71 in the 3d division, the original right of James Durgin, 60 acres in lot #119 in the 4th division, the original right of Samuel Heard, and 15 acres in lot #52 in the 3d division, the original right of Samuel Pinkham et al. This land was divided up amongst his children, with the house going to his widow and son Peter.10      On 20 April 1816 John Scates of Milton was chosen guardian for David's children Abigail, Mary and David, all minors upwards of 14 years of age, and John gave bond with Isaac Scates and James Twombly both of Milton.11 John Scates was married to Mary/Polly Worster, who was sister to the wife of one of David's other children, Samuel.

Birth*	Sarah Corson was born in 1772 in Milton, Strafford County, New HampshireG.1
Marriage*	She married David Wallingford, son of Peter Wallingford and Abigail Walker, on 8 November 1789 in Rochester, Strafford County, New HampshireG. They were both of Rochester at the time of their marriage.2
Death*	Sarah died on 22 November 1864, probably in Milton, Strafford County, New HampshireG. She was buried in the Plummer-Jones-Palmer Cemetery on Plummer's Ridge in Milton, N.H. The New Hampshire Vital Records reportedly (this author hasn't seen the record yet) have a death for a Sarah Wallingford in Milton on 22 March 1864, aged 92y 6m. This individual was supposedly single and her parentage was unknown. The 1860 census of Milton has only one 88 year old Sarah Wallingford, and that is this Sarah (Corson) Wallingford. The death date nearly matches the town report death date of of 22 November 1864, which is from a secondary source so could be wrong. The NHVR and the Milton vital records should be checked to determine if they are one in the same, but it seems likely. Another secondary source gives the date as 22 Nov 1863.34
	She made application for a Revolutionary War pension on 3 April 1855 from Milton, N.H. Another was on the previous March 17th, and that time a David Wallingford, no relation stated, was a witness to the application.5 She was apparently living with her son David Wallingford and his family in Milton when the 1850 census was taken. She owned property worth $600 at the time.6

Baptism*	Jacob Wallingford was baptized in September 1766 in Rochester, New HampshireG.1
Marriage*	He married, Abigail Clark, on 24 October 1793, in Rochester, Strafford County, New HampshireG. They were married by the an unknown person . They were both of Rochester at the time they were married..2
Death*	Jacob died on 1 January 1840. He is buried in the Haven Hill Cemetery in Rochester, N.H.3,4
	In 1800 his family was enumerated in the census of Rochester with one male under 10, one male between 26 and 45, one female between 26 and 45, and one female aged over 45.5 These are Jacob and Abigail, their son Amos, and an older woman who may be the mother of either Jacob or Abigail.      Administration of his estate was granted to Edward Tebbets of Rochester on 25 March 1840. He gave bond with Ebenezer Tebbets and Elizabeth G.Wallingford, both of Rochester.6 An inventory was turned in on 4 April showing a homestead farm of 60 acres in Rochester, a field on the main road which was part of the Wentworth farm, and a five acre wood lot in Whitehall Swamp in Rochester.7 The widow Abigail was allowed $150 from the estate on 11 April 1840.8      Administration of the estate of Abigail Wallingford late of Milton was granted to David Wallingford of Milton on the first Tuesday of December 1854. David gave bond with Stephen M. Mathes and Cyrus F. Sanborn, both of Rochester.9 This Abigail is likely Jacob's widow, and David is probably Jacob's nephew, son of his brother David. If so, this would indicate that Abigail moved in with her nephew in Milton at some point. The inventory of her estate was taken on 6 March 1855.10

Birth*	Samuel Wallingford was born about 1790-1, probably in Rochester, Strafford County, New HampshireG. (Gravestone) His son David's death record in the Milton Town Report says that Samuel was born in Milton1, but as Milton was incorporated from Rochester in 1802, this is probably not strictly correct. He was probably born in that part of Rochester that became Milton. He was baptized with his next two youngest siblings in Rochester on 30 June 1796.2
Marriage*	He married Sally Worster, daughter of Lemuel Worster and Mary Woodsum, on 12 November 1815 in Rochester, Strafford County, New HampshireG. They were both of Milton at the time of their marriage.3

Birth*	Sally Worster was born on 22 July 1793 in Berwick, York County, MaineG. Her parentage comes from a Worcester genealogy1 and her place of birth from her death record in the Milton town records. Her son David's death record in the Milton Town Report states that she was born in Milton.23
Marriage*	She married, Samuel Wallingford, on 12 November 1815, in Rochester, Strafford County, New HampshireG. They were married by the an unknown person . They were both of Milton at the time of their marriage..4
Marriage*	She married second Levi Jones, son of Ebenezer Jones and Susanna Allen, on 23 November 1831 in Milton, Strafford County, New HampshireG. They were both living in Milton at the time of their marriage. Sally had one child, a son James Jones, by her second marriage.1 Levi Jones was born in Lebanon, Maine on 21 October 1771 to Ebenezer Jones and Susanna Allen. He died 18 August 1847 in Milton and was buried in the Plummer-Jones-Palmer Cemetery on Plummer's Ridge in that town.5 He was a store owner in Milton and left an account book that can be found at the University of New Hampshire Library in its Special Collections room. The account book covers the years 1833 to his death in 1847 but contains no significant genealogical information.6,7

Birth*	Zimri Scates Wallingford was born on 7 October 1816 in Milton, Strafford County, New HampshireG.1,2
Marriage*	He married Alta L. G. Hilliard, daughter of Rev. Joseph Hilliard and Sarah Langton, 26 or 27 August 1840 in Berwick, York County, MaineG. Her father was the pastor of the congregational Church in Berwick, so the marriage likely took place there.3,4
Death*	Zimri died on 28 May 1886 in Dover, Strafford County, New HampshireG. He is buried in Pine Hill Cemetery in Dover.56,7
	In the 1850 census of Dover, Zimri and Alta are living with their children John O. and Mary C., as well as Ellen O'Brien, 32, born Ireland (presumably a servant), Joseph Hilliard, 19, a machinist born in N.Y., and William H. Hilliard, 16, a manufacturer born in N.Y. The latter two are probably relations of Alta.8 Ten years later they are still living in Dover. This time Zimri has gone from being described as a manufacturer to a "Supt. Cotton Mills". With Zimri and Alta are four children John, a 19-year old machinist, Mary, Julia and Ira, as well as Kate Winn, 21, born Ireland, who is probably another servant.9 The child Ira is very likely the son of Zimri's brother Ira and his wife Delania, as both his parents were dead by the time of the 1860 census.

Birth*	Nicholas Wallingford was born on 12 March 1680/81 in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.1
Marriage*	He married Sarah Elithorpe, daughter of John Elithorpe and Mary (?), on 19 September 1703 in Rowley, Essex County, MassachusettsG. Sarah was "of Ipswich", Mass. at the time of her marriage intention.2,3
Death*	Nicholas Wallingford died before 2 July 1727, probably in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.
	Nicholas served in the British army for five weeks in 1698 during the short five year hiatus between the end of King William's War in 1697 and the beginning of Queen Anne's War in 1702. On 30 July 1701 his mother petitioned the court because she hadn't received the past wages owed to her for her son's earlier service. He was "impressed for his majesty's service" on 13 June 1698, and served with his own arms for one week under Lt. Francis Perkins. From 20 June to 13 July he servied under the command of Capt. James Fry. On 4 September 1701 the Massachusetts House granted his mother's petition and paid her 30 shillings. Guardianship of David Wallingford, "a minor of about fourteen years of age son of Nicho Wallingford Late of Bradford decd" was awarded to Caleb Hopkinson on 2 July 1727.4 Caleb was likely Nicholas' first cousin. There being no other 14-year-old David son of Nicholas in Bradford at this point it would seem fairly definitive that we are talking about the same family here. Thus Nicholas must have died before 2 July 1727. The earliest other probate record for the estate of Nicholas, however, is on 13 May 1736 when his widow Sarah refused to take on the administration so that it might be granted to her son Jonathan. He did take it on, and a week later brought in an inventory done by Richard Bailey, Joseph Carleton and John Hopkinson. The inventory detailed about 18 acres of land in Bradford worth about £180 and a list of personal belongings, the value of which wasn't totaled but came to about £27. In the distribution of the estate on 4 July 1737 the widow Sarah received her thirds in real estate, it being 6 1/2 acres of land worth £65 in Bradford. Some of the other 2/3 of the real estate in Bradford, about 11 3/4 acres worth £112 10s, bordered the land of Jonas Platts, whom Sarah soon married. Another 1 3/4 acres of land in Bradford worth £17 10s bordered land of John Hopkinson formerly belonging to Caleb Hopkinson. A note at the end of the division of the estate reads, "Buildings on the farme not belonging to the Estate as being built by the widow since the death of her husband are not apprised." This is another indication that Nicholas died long before the estate was probated. The total real estate that was divided was worth £130.5

Birth*	Sarah Wallingford was born on 16 June 1704 in Rowley, Essex County, MassachusettsG.1
Marriage*	She married Joshua Roberts, son of Hatevil Roberts and Lydia Roberts, probably by 1732. Their first child was born about 1732. Evidence for their marriage exists in various probate documents of her father and her brother Jonathan, as described below.
Death*	Sarah died, after 1771. She was last mentioned in her husband's November 1771 will..
	On 27 March 1749 Sarah and Joshua Roberts of Dover, N.H. acknowledged receipt from the widow Martha Wallingford (widow of Sarah's brother Jonathan) "£15 in full of ye bond lodged...it being our part or share to fall off to us". Witnesses to the receipt were Samuel Palmer and Thomas Wallingford, the latter likely being Sarah's first cousin once removed, son of John Wallingford and grandson of the emigrant Nicholas.2 "Sarah alias Roberts" was promised £15 11s in the division of the estate of her father Nicholas in 1736. A bond of her brother Jonathan on 4 July 1737 mentions his "Brother in Law Joshua Robards of Somersworth in right of his wife Sarah".3      Joshua had lands in the "new township at the head of Rochester" (probably Milton) wihch he sold shortly before he died. He was among those who signed a petition to set off Somersworth in 1729 and had pew number 13 in the Somersworth Church in 1730.4      Their family is included in the records of Somersworth schoolmaster Joseph Tate, made around 1767, and records all of the children below and their birth dates with the exception of Mary, who is not included.5 Mary is included, however, in individual family records with both of her husbands. The Charles Wallingford genealogy states that Joshua and Mary were twins, both born on 13 July 1748, which is clearly in error.6 Mary must have been the eldest child as in her father's 1771 will she is mentioned as his daughter Molly deceased, and it mentions her two children, the first of whom was born in 1751. Joshua's will dated 26 November 1771 was proved 11 January 1772 and mentions his wife Sarah, son Joshua (who was made executor), daughters Hannah Foss, Betty Roberts and Lydia Knight, and four grandchildren, children of his deceased children Thomas and Molly.7

	Margaret and Benjamin George are signatories to a pair of receipts in the estate papers of her brother Jonathan Wallingford . In the first, dated 10 January 1737, they acknowledge receipt of 15 pounds 11 shillings Old Tenor from Jonathan, due them as the "full part of our father Nicholas Wallingford's Estate". A bond of her brother Jonathan on 4 July 1737 mentions Benjamin George of Newbury in right of his wife Margaret.4 Nearly ten years later, on 10 October 1746, dated from Bradford, Margaret and Benjamin, along with three other siblings and two of their spouses, acknowledge having received from Jonathan 4 pounds, 13 shillings, and 4 pence "in full of a Bond which was due to Jemima Wallingford late Decd" This was witnessed by John Hopkinson and Thomas Savory.5

Birth*	Elizabeth Wallingford was born on 22 September 1708 in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.1
Marriage*	She married John Simmons on 28 November 1747 in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.2
	On 10 October 1746, in Bradford, Elizabeth Wallingford and three of her siblings, with two of their spouses, acknowledged receipt of £4, 13s, 4p from Jonathan Wallingford (their brother) "in full of a Bond which was due to Jemima Wallingford late Decd", Jemima being their sister. Less than a year and a half later, on 18 February 1748, again in Bradford, she acknowledged receipt of more money from her brother Jonathan, £15 11s it "Being our part or share in full" of the estate of their father Nicholas. This time she signed it (actually left her mark) as Elizabeth Simmons with her husband John. It was witnessed by Jonathan Bailey and Thomas Savory. John and Elizabeth Symonds are also mentioned in the widow Martha's administrative account of the estate of her late husband Jonathan, Elizabeth's brother, on 13 April 1752.3      No further information has been discovered on her married life after this point. All variations of the name Simmons/Symonds were searched on the Essex Co. Mass. vital records CD and there are no obvious records that pertain to John and Elizabeth. There are two baptisms in Haverhill that could be their children. Elizabeth daughter of John was baptized in March 1751/2 and Rebecah daughter of John was baptized in April 1754. These come from the West Parish Congregational Church Records.4 There was a John Symonds who was having children in Topsfield between 1744 and 1749, but as our John married Elizabeth in 1747 they can't be one and the same. He was likely the John born in Boxford in 1725 who married Ruth Dorman about 1742. A John and Elizabeth (Cavis) Symonds had several children baptized in Salem between 1758 and 1761. A John Simons married Mehitable Whitaker in Haverhill in 1740 but he died two years later. The IGI and Ancestral File on the Internet were also searched for John and Elizabeth but no other likely candidates appear there. Land and probate records in Essex County should be searched to see if it can be determined what became of the couple.

Death*

She died in 1745 or 1746, probably in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG. Jemima was alive and possibly living in Boston on 5 April 1745 when she acknowledged receipt from her brother Jonathan of £8 Old Tenor "as part of my portion which was Due to me Out of my father Nicholas Wallingford's Estate". The receipt was dated from Boston. She died before 10 October 1746 when four of her siblings and two of their spouses acknowledged receipt from Jonathan of £4, 13s, 4p "in full of a Bond which was due to Jemima Wallingford late Decd." In the distribution of her father's estate she and her sister Elizabeth were to receive a total of £31, 20s.2

	Guardianship of David Wallingford, "a minor of about fourteen years of age son of Nicho Wallingford late of Bradford decd" was awarded to Caleb Hopkinson on 22 June 1727.2      David is mentioned in the bond of his brother Jonathan's administration of the estate of their father Nicholas on 4 July 1737, and is called David Wallingford "of Haverhill", Mass. In the division of his father's estate his brother Jonathan is called the "eldest" but the published Bradford VRs clearly show that David was two years older. Either the published Bradford VRs are in error or the probate records are deceptive and David was actually deceased by this time. Or Jonathan wasn't really the eldest son and the probate records just assumed he was. In either case nothing is known of David after 1737.3

Birth*	Benjamin Wallingford was born on 26 April 1707 in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.1
Marriage*	He married first Mary Burbank, daughter of Caleb Burbank and Hannah Acie or Acy, on 14 February 1731/32 in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.2
Marriage*	He probably married second, Mary Sawyer, on 13 August 1777, in Rowley, Essex County, MassachusettsG. The only other Benjamin who could have married Mary is this Benjamin's nephew, although he was born in 1739 and married in 1762..3,4
Death*	Benjamin died in 1790, probably in Boxford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.5
	There has been some confusion between this Benjamin and his nephew Benjamin, as they both lived in Rowley for a time. Rowley marriage records have Alice Hardy marrying Benjamin Jr. and Rowley death records for Alice, wife of Benjamin, Jr. strongly suggest that it is the nephew, Benjamin the younger, who married Alice Hardy and not the elder uncle. Another Rowley death for Mary, wife of Benjamin is for a woman who died in 1775 in her 66th year, meaning she was born about 1709 so clearly is more likely to be the wife of the uncle born in 1707 than the nephew born in 1739. The marriage of Benjmain and Mary (Sawyer) Blaisdell in 1777 could in theory be for either man as Mary was born in 1729, but it is far more likely that she married the senior Benjamin whose first wife died two years earlier than that she married the other Benjamin who was 10 years her junior and still, apparently, married to his wife Alice Hardy.      Assuming it is this Benjamin who married Mary (Sawyer) Blaisdell, the following information on Benjamin and his family belongs here. It comes from a short biography of his second wife's son John Blaisdell from her first marriage. "Shortly after Johnny's birth, his father died...and when he was but two or three years old his mother went to Newbury to live. Johnny soon after lived out with Enos Bartlett..., and after Mr. Bartlett's death, when Johnny was about eighteen, he went with his mother to live in Byfield parish, Rowley. A year or two after, she being married to Benjamin Wallingford, of Georgetown, Johnny removed with his mother, having been warned out of Rowley. From that time Johnny lived with his mother and step-father in that part of Rowley which is now Georgetown until the spring of 1784, when Mrs. Wallingford purchased of Moses Hazen, for one hundred and twenty pounds, 'a lot of land with the westerly half of the house upon it, a right to the well, and the easterly half of the barn upon the westerly side of the road,' and with her husband and son removed thereto and settled down once more. This was the old Wallingford house in Boxford, on the Georgetown line, that its owner Thomas B. Masury, in 1878, razed to the ground, it having occupied the same site as his new residence. Mr. Wallingford died in 1790, and the family were soon in destitute circumstances. Johnny was poll-taxed by Boxford till 1796, and had his tax abated each year. Widow Wallingford was taxed in 1796 and 1797 by Boxford, and her tax was abated each year. The property had by this time probably slipped out of their possession, and they were classed among the indigent. The town of Boxford afterwards assisted in supporting the mother and son till their release was wrought by death. The mother died in 1819; and Johnny continued to reside in the west part of the house, alone. The other part of the house was occupied by transient tenants, the place being owned by Major Paul Nelson. In her youth, Mrs. Wallingford was noted for her beauty, and known, by her companions, as 'Fair Rosamond." The article goes on with more about Johnny Blasidell.6

Birth*

Jeremiah Wallingford was born on 26 November 1710? In Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG. This date should be checked in the original records, as his brother Isaac was baptized only a little more than four months later. If Jeremiah was born in 1709 it would make more sense. The other possibility is that Jeremiah's name was changed to Isaac by the time he was baptized, or else one of the two records has the wrong name.1

Baptism*	He was baptized on 5 April 1713 in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG.1
Marriage*	He married Martha Wallingford, daughter of Nicholas Wallingford and Sarah Elithorpe, on 13 June 1739 in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG. Martha and James were first cousins, once removed.2
Death*	James died, on 10 January 1782, in Bradford, Essex County, MassachusettsG, "in the 70th year of his age". He is buried in the old cemetery in Groveland (formerly East Bradford), Mass.3 The published Bradford vital records record the death of a James Jr. on Jan. 10, 1787, aged 80 years. This follows immediately after the Jan. 10, 1782 death for James, aged 70. The gravestone agrees with the 1782 death. Both the 1782 and the 1787 deaths come from a death book kept by William B. Ladd. There is no other obvious James who would have been 80 in 1787, so perhaps this record is some kind of mistake. Another possibility is a source typographical error. The published Bradford vital records give the abbreviation "P.R. 2" after each date, signifying the death book, but if the 1782 date was supposed to be from "G.R. 2" it would be referring to the Groveland cemetery records that do in deed show that date. Apparently the same error took place with his widow Martha, whose death shows "P.R. 2" when it matches exactly the information on her gravestone. Obviously the death book must be checked to determine what is going on here..4
	Sometime in 1759 (probably) James sent a petition to the Massachusetts government asking for reimbursement for his expenses in bringing his sick son Jeremiah home. Jeremiah had been returning home from being in a military excursion when he fell ill. For full details see Jeremiah's record.      In his will dated 3 December 17765 James Wallingford of Bradford, yeoman, "being Sick and weak of body", left the following bequests. To his wife Martha "all my household goods during her life and after she dies to be divided equally between my two daughters Betty and Judith or their legal representatives." Also the use of the easterly end of his dwelling house and half of what is raised upon the land was to be paid and delivered to her yearly. She also received two cows.      To his son Jeremiah he left 20 pounds. To his grandson James Dickinson, son and representative of "my daughter Martha late wife of William Dickinson", he left 5 shillings. To his granddaughter, unnamed but later shown to be Hannah Nelson, representative "of my daughter Hannah late wife of Joseph Nelson", he left another 5 shillings.      To his grandson Nathaniel Wallingford, representative "of my son Nathaniel deceased" he left the dwelling house "lately improved by his father and also the barn and also the one half of my homestead Excepting four Acres of Land which I bought of Isaac Platts, and that piece of Land in the Common field so called his Mother to have the Improvement of the Said Land and house till he comes to the Age of twenty one years or as Long as She Remains my Son Nathaniel Walingford's widow... and if my sd Grandson Should die before he is twenty one years of age then I give the premises to my Son Nicholas."      To his granddaughter Hannah Wallingford he left sixteen pounds to be paid when she got married or turned 21, and to his daughters Betty and Judith twenty pounds each under the same circumstances. Betty and Judith were also to have the use of the easterly end of his dwelling house together with their mother so long as she remained unmarried. The two daughters, with their mother, also got the improvement of a piece of land on the southeast side of the house.      His son Nicholas was made executor, and to him was left all the remainder of his father's lands both in Newbury and in Bradford, as well as the west end of the dwelling house in which his mother and sisters would also be living. After his mother and sisters married or died he would get the entire house. Finally Nicholas would receive the remainder of his father's personal estate not already accounted for.      James Wallingford left his mark and the will was witnessed by Thomas Noyes Jr., John Savory and William Greenough. Despite being "sick and weak of body" James evidently recovered for a time as he didn't die for more than five more years. On 4 February 1782 his will was presented for probate by his son Nicholas, the executor, as well as witness John Savory. Savory stated that witness William Greenough had died in the time since the will had been written, and Thomas Noyes Jr. was presently ill. A loose paper in the probate file dated 2 February 1781 has a short signed note from Noyes, of Methuen, attesting to both his illness and the validity of the will.      The inventory of the estate was taken 1 March 1782 by Joseph Richardson, William Balch Jr., and John Savory and signed by Nicholas Wallingford. It showed an estate worth over 341 pounds.      The son Nicholas died by June of 1785 and on 6 March 1786 a new executor was named, this being James Palmer of Bradford, a housewright. He gave bond on that date with Solomon Tenny, yeoman and Ephraim Hardy, housewright, both of Bradford. A signed note from the widow Martha Wallingford dated 26 February 1786 talks about money due her daughters from the estate that wasn't paid because the funds had run out.      A second inventory was taken on 14 March 1786 by James Palmer, Solomon Tenny, Ephraim Hardy and Ebenezer Hopkinson, and listing of debts was made on 5 June 1786. This listing includes the 20 pound bequests to the daughters Betty and Judith, as well as the 5 shilling bequests to grandchildren James Dickinson and Hannah Nelson. Sixteen pounds, one shilling is also due to a David Hopkinson.      The administrator's account of 3 April 1787 shows that more than three acres of tillage land was sold to William Savory for 318 pounds, and 4 acres of pasture land was sold to Jonathan and William Bailey for 244 pounds. It says that 40 pounds was paid to Betty and James [sic, probably means Judith] Wallingford as their legacies from the will, as well as 50 pence to William Dickson guardian of James Dickinson, as his legacy.      Ten years later, on 21 March 1797, a division of real estate was made by Lemuel Wood of Boxford, and Silas Hopkinson and Thomas Wood of Bradford, the latter possibly being the second husband of Nicholas' wife Sarah. This was the land left to the grandson Nathaniel and his mother for their use until his 21st birthday, which had just occurred. In the division Nicholas (or more likely his widow and family as he was deceased by this time) received 8 acres, 100 poles and Nathaniel received 6 acres, 60 poles. The latter piece of land was bounded by the original dwelling house of James Wallingford where his widow and daughters Betty and Judith were still living. The widow Martha continued to live in Bradford with her two unmarried daughters until her death, and the three of them are likely the ones enumerated there in the 1790 census in the household of Martha Walingsford. Right next door to them is Abigall Walingsford, the likely widow of her son Nathaniel, who was granted one half of the homestead in the probate of James' estate.6
