Charles Arthur Wallingford Jr. was born on 27 April 1910 in Berwick, York County, MaineG. He was enumerated in the 1910 census as age zero months. The official census date was April 15th, before he was born, but the enumerated, who made a visit to the house on May 9th, included him in the family anyways.1
Marriage*
He married Blanche A. Rose, daughter of Freeman Rose and Grace Moulton, on 11 May 1935 in MaineG. When they were married Blanche was from North Berwick, Maine and Charles was from Berwick.2
In the 1930 census he was living with his parents in Berwick, Maine and was employed in a woolen mill. Correspondence from the wife of a descendant states that his father's name was Ike Wallingford, but this appears to be in error.4

His birth certificate has been amended to have his name be Oscar L. Hussey rather than Wallingford, but Charles and Rose are listed as his parents so it is the same person. There is a note in the Biddeford-Saco Journal of 2 Jul 1938, p.7, that states that Oscar L. Wallingford of Berwick petitioned for his name to be changed to Oscar L. Hussey. It says the reasons are spelled out in petition, which appears to be from a probate court.
He was living in Berwick, Maine when Charles Wallingford contacted him for information about his 1942 Wallingford genealogy.3 He was still there, going by the name of Oscar Hussey, when his mother died in 1958.
The name on his birth record was Oscar Leroy Wallingford.

Charles Alvin Wallingford
M, b. circa 1884
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
He married Rose A. Dumont, daughter of Joseph Dumont and Melina Barbeneau, on 15 December 1905 in Somersworth, Strafford County, New HampshireG. There is likely something wrong with the date or participants of this marriage. In their 1930 census record Charles is aged 46 and Rose is 37. In the column where it gives their "age at first marriage" it says Charles was 21, which calculates correctly for a marriage in 1905, but Rose was said to be 20, where her age would suggest she was only 13 at the time. It's possible that the 1905 date was for a different marriage for Charles.3
Is he the Charles A. Wallingford, age 82, who died in Berwick, Maine on 7 March 1966?4
When the 1910 census was taken the family was living in a rented home on Cemetery Road in Berwick, Maine, and Charles was a 25-year-old farmer "working out", which probably means that he worked as a hired farmer for someone else. He has been unemployed for 16 weeks in the previous year. They were said to have been married for four years, and Rose was the mother of three children, two of whom were then living.
When the 1920 census was taken the family was living in Cranberry Meadow Road in Berwick, Maine and Charles was 35 and employed as a lumberman in a saw mill.5 In the 1930 census they were living in the same place and Charles was a farm laborer who owned his own home worth $1800.6

He was 35 in the 1920 census dated January 1 and 46 in the 1930 census dated April 1, suggesting a birth date in the first three months of 1884. When his son William married in July 1937 Charles was age 54.

She married Charles Alvin Wallingford, son of William L. Wallingford and Sophia H. Thompson, on 15 December 1905 in Somersworth, Strafford County, New HampshireG.

It's possible that the 1905 date was for a different marriage for Charles.2
Her obituary appeared in the 26 June 1958 Journal Tribune and read as follows:
Mrs. Rose A. Wallingford, wife of Charles A. Wallingford of Berwick, died Sunday morning at the Henrietta D. Goodall Hospital. She was born in Lawrence, Mass, daughter of Joseph and Melina Barbeneau Dumont, and had resided in Berwick many years. Survivors besides her husband are three sons, William Wallingford of Laconia, N.H., Oscar Hussey and Herbert Wallingford of Berwick; five daughters, Mrs. Mildred Lingard of Salisbury, Mo., Mrs. Emily Burroughs of Milton, N.H., Mrs. Rita Owens of Excelsior Springs, Mo., Mrs. Rachel Hatfield of Key West, Fla., Mrs. Ruth Georgiana Boudreau, Hampstead, N.H; 16 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the Prentiss Funeral Chapel, Berwick, by the Rev. Donald E. Macomber. Burial was in Evergreen Cemetery, Berwick.3
Betsey died on 6 September 1889 in Mankato, Blue Earth County, MinnesotaG. The Wallingford genealogy says she died in 1867 and is buried in Mankato, Minnesota4, but the Revolutionary War pension file under her husband's name states clearly that she died in 1889, and applied for a pension in 1867. Shackford says that she died on the Pacific Coast at the age of 103, which would be in 1915. A pencilled note in the margin of the copy at the NEHGS in Boston says that this is not true.5 The letter from Winthrop Alexander to the author of the Wallingford genealogy gives the exact date and place and notes "This is strictly correct and anything else is wrong."3,2

John Noble Wallingford
M, b. 4 July 1833, d. 8 March 1913
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
John Noble Wallingford was born on 4 July 1833 in Athens, Somerset County, MaineG. The Revolutionary War pension files in his father's name mention that "a son" John N. Wallingford was a resident of Porter, Maine in 1855 and he was then age 21.12
He married second Mary Jane Sheridan, daughter of Michael Sheridan, about 1906/07. They had been married for three years according to the April 1910 census.4
A biographical directory of Seattle, Washington has a three page entry on John, and the following information is extracted from that source6:
John moved after 1847 to western Maine (perhaps Howland, Maine), then to western Massachusetts and then to western Minnesota. In April 1861 he entered the U.S. Army, Co. H, 2nd Minnesota and was promoted from private to 2nd Lieutenant. His regiment was assigned to the Western Army under General Thomas and the first engagement in which he participated was at Mill Springs, after which he took part in the battles of Pittsburg Landing, Perryville, Stone River and various skirmishes. At this point he was honorably discharged due to illness, but when he recovered he raised a company, which filled up the depleted ranks of the First Minnesota Infantry, and was made captain. His company proceeded to the front and served on the Potomac until the end of the war, after which he was mustered out. He was among those who participated in the grand victory review that marched through the streets of Washington, D.C. before the joyfully waving President Abraham Lincoln.
After the war John established a general store in Rochester, Minnesota and also established a farm there. Tiring of the cold winters, he removed to Napa City, California in 1873, where he established a lumber business and was foreman of the yard for fourteen years.
In 1888 he moved to Seattle, Washington and began dealing in real estate, mostly handling his own property in the Green Lake section of the city where he platted eighty acres, a part of it in Wallingford Park and the remainder in the Wallingford division of Green Lake. This area of Seattle bears his name to this day.
Politically he was a Republican. While residing in Minnesota he served for two years as deputy sheriff and in Seattle was twice a member of the city council (1889-917) and for two terms was police commissioner. He beloned to the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, aided in organizing the Grand Army Post in Napa City, California, and since the 1880s was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
He may be the John Wallingford, age 16, born in Maine, living with Truworthy Chamberlain in Brookfield, N.H. in 1850.8 [It also could be another John Wallingford.]
On 10 June 1858 John and his mother, residents of Nicollet County, Minnesota, purchased public lands from the government in the town of Faribault, Minnesota. John's land was in "the South East quarter, of Section Five, in Township One Hundred and Eight North, of Range Twenty seven West, in the District of lands formerly subject to sale at Winona, now Faribault, Minnesota, containing One Hundred and sixty acres." His mother's land was also in Faribault, but not continguous.9
In 1860 John, Arabella and their two children were enumerated in the census of Mankato, Minnesota. John's occupation was teamster. His mother Betsey Wallingford was also living in Mankato at the time.10 Ten years later the four of them showed up in Marion, Minnesota and John was now a farmer. In the 1880 census they were in Napa City, California where John worked as a lumber agent. His mother-in-law Nancy DeGroot was living with them.11
In the 1889 Seattle city directory he is found at 1428 3d St. and in 1890 at this address as well as 815 2nd St. One is obviously his home address and the other his business address. He was in real estate.12 In the 1900 census John and Arabella were living in Seattle and he was a real estate broker.13 By 1910 Arabella was living with her daughter Emma Wood and family at 816 35th Avenue in Seattle and listed as a widow with her "own income"., but John was not dead yet. He was living on 1522 East Mercer St. in Seattle with a different wife named Mary J. They had been married for three years. Under occupation it read "own income".
When he died, John was the last living member on the Pacific Coast of the Sons of the Revolution.14 in Seattle. His second wife Mary as a widow may be the Mary J. Wallingford, age 65, born in Canada (but French-speaking) who is living in 1920 in Detroit, Michigan with her son Ernest Lut[es?].15 In 1930 this Mary, aged 76, was still living with her son in Detroit, and this time she is said to have been born in English-speaking Canada.16

This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
There is a writeup, with photo, on Elizabeth in the American Monthly Magazine. It reads, in part, "Mrs. Durkee was made an honorary member of the Kansas City Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and presented with a spoon by that chapter. After a chapter was formed in Mankato, she was transferred to membership in Anthony Wayne Chapter, Mankato, Minn." It includes her birth and death dates and places.2
Virgil D. White, Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary Wary Pension Files (Waynesboro, TN: National Historical Pub. Co., 1992), p.3659 (for approximate date of birth of 1818) Wallingford & Murrow state that she was born in 1824, but the earlier date seems more likely based on census records and the Rev. War pension file that gives her age later in life.

He married Mary Ann Hussey, daughter of Timothy Hussey and Susan Buswell, on 19 November 1845, probably in Athens. It is not certain that the marriage took place in Athens.1
He and his wife and eldest son were enumerated in the 1850 census of Athens, Maine. His occupation was farmer and his real estate was valued at $800, more than his immediate neighbors.3 Ten years later the family was located next door in Harmony, Maine and he was still a farmer. His real estate was valued at $1000 and his personal belongings at $982.4 They were still in Harmony in 1870. Jonathan was once again a farmer whose real estate was worth $1820 and personal property was worth $2015.

This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
He married Carrie Atkins on 26 November 1879 in Bath, Sagadahoc County, MaineG. Herman was living in Lewiston, Maine at the time of their marriage. [The date was difficult to read on the microfilm. The month and day may be different.]2
Death*
Herman died on 16 May 1932 at home, 23 Silk St. in Arlington, Middlesex County, MassachusettsG. Cause of death was listed as myocarditis, arteriosclerosis, chronic nephritis, and hypertrophy of prostate. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett, Mass. on May 19th.3
He was living in Somersworth in 1923.4 In the 1860 census he was listed as Harmon N.5 The 1870 census lists him as Hermon A., at which time he was a clerk in a grocery store. The 1850 census, in which he was only one year old, has poor handwriting and it could be either Harmon or Herman or Herman.6 They were living at 901 Broadway in Somerville when Carrie died in 1923, and Herman was living at 23 Silk St. in Arlington with his daughter Lida (who was the informant on his death certificate) when he died in 1932. On his death certificate it stated that he had been the owner of a meat market for fifty years until retiring in 1927.

She married Herman A. Wallingford, son of Jonathan Wallingford and Mary Ann Hussey, on 26 Nov 1879 in Bath, Maine. They had at least two children.3

Birth place and parentage are taken from her death record, at which time she was said to be age 62. That implies birth about 1860-61, but the 1860 census of Brunswick lists her as an 8-year-old. With a marriage in 1879 a birth about 1851 makes more sense than 1861.

Henry Melvin Wallingford
M, b. 8 December 1882, d. 13 June 1938
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
Henry died of a cerebral hemorrhage on 13 June 1938 at Weymouth Hospital in Weymouth, Norfolk County, MassachusettsG. He was buried on June 16th in Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett, Mass.3
When their son Henry was born in 1930 Henry Sr. was a radio salesman and they were living at 18 Day St. in Somerville, Mass.
According to his death certificate, Henry was a veteran of World War I. He and Lena were living at 37 Raleigh Rd. in East Weymouth when he died. They had been living in town for four years. He worked as a salesman for a radio company at the time, having been in that occupation for twenty years.
When Charles Wallingford wrote his 1942 Wallingford Genealogy he attempted to communicate with a Harry M. Wallingford of Somerville, Mass. but the letter was returned as undelivered.4
Birth date is calculated from his age at death. Birth place and parentage is based on his marriage record, at which time he was aged 38, which would suggest a birth date in 1887 or 1888. The birth record of his son Henry states that he was born in Lewiston, Maine, and was age 41 at the time. Wallingford & Murrow state that he was born in December 1882 as well.
