Birth*	Eliphalet Young was born.
Marriage*	He married, Susanna Wallingford, on 9 April 1784, in Lebanon, York County, MaineG. They were married by the an unknown person .1
Death*	Eliphalet died in Lebanon, York County, MaineG.
	A history of Lebanon has this to say about Eliphalet: "He was among the 1st settlers and first settled the farm now (1873) owned by Jesse Furbush. After living here for a number of years he moved and built a cabin about 1/2 mile to the east from Furbush, where he ended his days at an advanced age. He was always poor.2      They apparently had children since in the 1790 census of Lebanon the family is listed with one male over 16, one under 16, and two females. On 19 May 1803 Lebanon's Rev. Isaac Hasey "preached at ye funeral of Young's child." On 1 October 1798 his assessment in the Federal tax was 24 acres. He drew school money in District #1, South Lebanon, in 1812, but wasn't taxed in town in 18253.

Birth*	Garland Wallingford was born circa 1770 in Lebanon, York County, MaineG. (Date from gravestone.)1
Marriage*	He married, Betsey Rankins, on 9 November 1794, in Lebanon, York County, MaineG. They were married by the an unknown person .2
Death*	Garland died on 11 January 1843 in Lebanon, York County, MaineG. He was buried in a lot on what in 1892 was the Jonathan Wallingford farm (perhaps his son Henry's son Jonathan?) in the section of Lebanon known as "Wallingford City".3 Today this cemetery is very difficult to find, located as it is deep within several hundred acres of thick uninhabited woods. It is down near Wallingford Pond and the Berwick town line.45
	He lived on a part of his father's estate in "Wallingford City".6 He was apparently a member of the local Baptist Society because in August or September 1820 an undated list of the names of the Society that had filed certificates in the Lebanon Town Clerk's Office appears in the town records. Garland is on that list, as are Aaron, Moses and Levi Wallingford, presumably his brothers.7

Birth*	Betsey Rankins was born circa 1780? In MaineG. She was 70 in the 1850 census and may have been 78 in the 1860 census, but was probably older given that she would have been a very young bride in 1794.
Marriage*	She married Garland Wallingford, son of John Wallingford and Lydia Garland, on 9 November 1794 in Lebanon, York County, MaineG.1
Death*	Betsey died probably between 1860 and 187, probably in Lebanon, York County, MaineG.2
	Elizabeth, wife of Garland Wallingford, was one of two beneficiaries of the will of Jonathan Door of Lebanon in 1797. With the exception of a cow left to Elizabeth, the entire estate went to his wife Dorothy Door.3 There was no explanation of the reason for placing Elizabeth in the will. Her parentage is unproven, but definitely possible, so if her mother was Peggy Dore this may explain the Door/Dore connection.4 Betsey was living with her probable son Henry in 1850, aged 70.5 In 1860 a 78-year old Betsey Wallingford was living with Elbridge and Judith Collomy in Lebanon. This may be her once again.6 The relation to the Colomys is unknown, although Judith Colomy's maiden name was Wallingford.

Death*	Moses died on 29 March 1847 in Lebanon, York County, MaineG.2,3
	In the 1790 census of Lebanon Moses is living with one male under 16 and one female4, so they apparently had at least one child by that time, unless the boy is a younger relation of either Moses or Susannah.      Moses Wallingford Jr. was chosen one of 25 surveyors of highways at the 2 April 1798 Lebanon, Maine Town Meeting.5 Why he is referred to here as "Jr." is unknown at present, as there is no other known Moses Wallingford in the area. However several of his nephews are unknown so perhaps he had a nephew named Moses and this record actually pertains to the nephew. Moses Wallingford (no Jr.) was again chosen as a surveyor of highways at subsequent meetings in 1805 and 1812.6 He was apparently a member of the local Baptist Society because in August or September 1820 an undated list of the names of the Society that had filed certificates in the Lebanon Town Clerk's Office appears in the town records. Moses is on that list, as are Aaron, Garland and Levi Wallingford, presumably his brothers.7      Moses was assessed in the Federal tax 1 October 1798 on 40 acres of land in Lebanon, Maine. He drew school money in District No. 2, West Lebanon, in 1812. He paid a tax of $48.92 in the western section of Lebanon in June 1825. He paid a poll, a tax on a house and barn and 71 acres, $50.20 in August 1829. He lived on the place in West Lebanon on the main road to South Lebanon on what was later known as the "Carr Place". After he died his property passed to Charles Carr.8      In the 1850 census of Somersworth, N.H. a CharlesCarr is found living with an 82 year-old Susan Wallingford, who is probably Susannah (Corson) Wallingford, wife of Moses.9 Perhaps Charles Carr married a daughter of Moses?

Birth*	Aaron Wallingford was born about 1775-78 in Lebanon, York County, MaineG. He was 75 in the 1850 census, and was reportedly 80 when he died in 1858.1
Marriage intention*	Aaron Wallingford filed an intention of marriage with Betsey Downs, whose parents are unknown on 24 October 1801 in Lebanon, York County, MaineG.2
Death*	Aaron died, on 27 December 1858, in Lebanon, York County, MaineG.3
	His name shows that he drew school money in District No. 1, in South Lebanon in 1812. He was taxed $36.44 in June 1825. They lived in Wallingford "City" about one and one half miles east from the public highway in South Lebanon.4 In the 1850 census of Lebanon Judith and John Colomy, both aged 30, were living with Aaron and Betsey. Aaron was a farmer on a plot of land worth $600.5      He was apparently a member of the local Baptist Society because in August or September 1820 an undated list of the names of the Society that had filed certificates in the Lebanon Town Clerk's Office appears in the town records. Aaron is on that list, as are Moses, Garland and Levi Wallingford, presumably his brothers.6      His children aren't well-accounted for and there is much confusion amongst the members of this generation. Those listed below may well belong to other families, and other children assigned to his brothers may belong to him. Take nothing for proven here. In the 1850 census where Aaron and "Betty" are 75 years old, no children are living in their household, unless Judith and John Colomy, both aged 30 are grandchildren or Judith is a daughter and John her husband. Next door is a John Wallingford, aged 50, then a Henry, aged 35, and next a Stephen aged 40. Stephen is placed here as the son of Aaron, as is the first John, but Henry appears to be son of Aaron's brother Garland due to the fact that living with him is Betsy Wallingford, aged 70, who is probably wife of Garland. For more on this see Henry's record. Why the daughter Ann is placed in this family by the Wallingford Genealogy is presently unknown.

Ichabod Goodwin, Jr. of Berwick and Molly Wallingford of Tamworth, N.H. filed their intention of marriage in Berwick on 2 April 1768, and the intention was certified on 26 April.3 It seems unlikely that she would have been from Tamworth at the time, and one wonders if this might be an error for Somersworth, where her family was from.4

Also one third of his livestock.5      In 1850 Granville and Mary were living in Berwick, Maine. He was a farmer on a piece of land worth $5000, which was a lot for its day. Living with them were Granville's mother as well as a brother and sister and several other individuals: Mary J. Nason, 21, William A. Chadbourne, 13, Hannah Clough, 19, and Levi Ellis, 12.6 Granville was the guardian of William Augustus Chadbourne.7      On 6 December 1850 Granville and his brother Albert witnessed the will of Samuel Goodwin of Berwick, yeoman.8      In 1870 the census taken in Mitchell, Iowa included a G.C. Wallingford, age 71, a farmer born in Maine. He was listed as the head of a family that included Stilwells, Ropers and a Farnham. (Source: A 15 Feb 2000 posting to the WALLINGFORD-L email list on Rootsweb.com, Census p.161, family 1115.) No other Wallingfords were included, although on the next page there was a Mary Wallingford, perhaps his wife, living with a Norwegian family named Eiel. This Mary was 74 and said to have been born in New York. (Source: A 15 Feb 2000 posting to the WALLINGFORD-L email list on Rootsweb.com, Census p.161, family 1115.) Aside from the birth place for Mary, all these facts pretty closely match Granville and his wife Mary. More research is necessary.

Birth*	Cato Wallingford was born say 1755. This is based on his being described as a "Negroboy" in 1771, yet being of age to serve in the Revolutionary War by 1777.
Marriage*	He married Margaret Peterson on 26 February 1784 in Exeter, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.1
	Cato Wallingford was a black soldier from Somersworth, N.H. during the Revolutionary War. In all probability he was originally a slave in the household of Thomas Wallingford of Somersworth, who was one of the wealthiest men in New Hampshire. In an inventory made of his estate in September 1771 we find the following entries:      "To the Negroman Richmond £50 The Negroboy Cato £45      To the Negrowoman Phillis £30 The Negrogirle Dinah £35"2 While this isn't necessarily the same Cato who later became a Revolutionary War soldier, the likelihood is certainly high. When the widow Elizabeth Wallingford made her own inventory of the estate in December 1773, she mentioned the two slave women, but no mention was made of the men. What became of them in the interim is at present unknown. Richmond could be his father, Phillis his mother, and Dinah his sister, or they could all be unrelated, or related in a different way. Phillis died on 18 February 1773, probably in Somersworth.3 Before her death she had been offered to Captain William Pearne, who married Thomas' daughter Mary. Dinah is described in the Wallingford inventory papers the following December as "disordered in Mind & body" and "of no value", but still appraised at £35. What became of her after this point is unknown. Thomas Wallingford also had a slave named Primus, who escaped his captivity on 14 July 1766. Wallingford offered a five dollar cash reward for his return in ads in the New Hampshire Gazette over the following few weeks. Primus was described as being "about thirty years of age, short thick well set, with considerable white in his eyes and having a smooth face."4 We next encounter Cato's name in a return of Captain James Carr's Company, 2d NH Regiment, during the Revolutionary War. He is said to be from "Summersworth", and is described as a "State Soldier", which may mean that his pay came from the state. One other such soldier -- Samuel Grant -- is listed with him, as well as an Edward Grant not described as a state soldier, and both of the Grants are also from Somersworth. There is no date on this return, but the next page in the Revolutionary Rolls is a payroll of Carr's Company. Of the three men listed above, only Edward Grant is included, which probably has something to do with the other two being "State Soldiers". The payroll is dated 18 March, with no year given, although a note included has a date of 24 January 1777, meaning the company was probably in existence in 1776 or 1777.5 Cato's name next appears on a list of men recruited by Henry Dearborn in 1780, and a roster of the 2d Regiment, 9th Co., commanded by Col. George Reid in 1780, includes Private Cato Wallingford6. Two Somersworth town papers also list him as a soldier during the Revolution, and one of them, dated 3 July 1781, includes his name, as well as Edward and Samuel Grant, on a list of soldiers who returned from the army "last March during the war".7 On 1 April 1782 the town of Somersworth voted that a committee be chosen to "Treat" with Madam Wallingford respecting her "Negroman" and that the town will give what he shall agree with her for a proviso that he does not exceed $50. The records do not state who this committee was, but they were successful as the selectmen drew an order for Elizabeth Wallingford, in 1782, for town bounty for her negro Cato, amounting to £15.8 This all may describe the process by which Cato gained his freedom. On 18 March 1784 the town of Exeter, N.H., where he was married a few weeks earlier, directed its constable to warn several transients to leave town and return to their places of legal residence. One of these transients was Cato Wallingford. On the back of the warning was a list of the names with lengths of time after each of their names. Cato's was "10 months", which probably signifies how long he had been residing in Exeter.9. People were usually "warned out" of towns when they had no way to care for themselves and the town was looking for a way to avoid supporting them. There were no centralized welfare systems in these days and towns were obligated to take care of indigents within their own communities. The easy way - certainly not the most humane way - for towns to deal with this was simply to kick them out. At this time after the Revolution Exeter was something of a hub to local free black persons, with a larger percentage black population than any other town in New Hampshire. Cato is listed in the 1790 census of Gilmanton, N.H. in the column "All other free persons". One other person was listed with him, also non-white. He is not listed in the 1800 census of N.H., although the schedules for the town of Gilmanton and many other towns have been lost. On 28 October 1791 at Meredith, N.H. he applied for a Bounty Land Warrant #109-100.10 The Meredith schedules for the 1800 census do exist, however, so he apparently wasn't living there at that point, unless he went unenumerated. On 21 Jan 1799 he had been living in Brentwood, N.H. because he and his wife Pegg were warned out of that town on that date. [Rockingham County Superior Court File #17750] Where he went after this point is unknown. An advertisement in the 18 November 1817 "New Hampshire Patriot" newspaper says that Cato had bounty land granted him that was unclaimed,8 but apparently he sold this warrant to another individual as evidenced by the bounty land patent on file with the Bureau of Land Management dated 2 Jan. 1804. In that document there was "granted unto Jonathan Cass, assignee of William J. [Ham?], who was assignee of Cato Wallingford, a Soldier in the late army of the United States in consideration of the said Cato Wallingford's military services, a certain tract of Land estimated to containe One Hundred acres..."11 This land was located in Ohio, but there is no evidence to suggest that Cato ever traveled there. In fact, one of the reasons many veterans sold their land rather than settled it was because they did not want to travel to the distant location. It is also impossible to tell when Cato assigned the land to [Ham?]. Worth investigating are the origins of a black man by the name of Charles B. Wallingford born in Atchison, Kansas about 2 Sep 1879 and died in Port Williams, Kansas on 1 Dec 1946. His obituary reads: "Atchison Daily Globe, Saturday, 21 December 1946 After an illness since last night from paralysis, Charles Wallingford, 79, for many years a well known colored farmer south of Atchison, died at his home near Effingham this morning. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Nora Wallingford, three sons, Kenneth and Herbert of the Effingham vicinity and Howard, Conway, S. C; a daughter Margaret, a registered nurse, Detroit, a brother and sister, David Wallingford and Mrs. Fannie Lewis, Atchison, and nine grand children. Funeral arrangements had not been completed this afternoon. The body is at the J. T. Miles funeral home." The family can be viewed on Wikitree at Wallingford-382. [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wallingford-382] This black family may also be descended from a slave in the family of one of the Kentucky branch of the family that isn't followed in these pages.
