  BIOGRAPHY: Wallingfords of New England: On 29 October 1695 JamesWallingford of Bradford sold to his brother John Wallingford, also of Bradford, for Ð10-6 "a parcel of land which was laid out for an adition unto Nicholas Wallingford Senr deceased it was an adition unto his farm which is in Bradford it lyeth to ye South East of Bever brooke Joyning by land of Philip Nelson Neare Rowley Line That is to say the abovesd James Wallingfords owne share of land which fell to him for part of his portion of his [father's estate] and his mother Sarah Mash her share Mary poore her share & Benjamin Wallingford his share & Joseph Wallingford his share which fell to them for part of portions. These other shares I the above James have bought of Each of them this Land I do Confirme unto ye abovesd John Wallingford..." James made his mark and the deed was witnessed by William Savery and Samuel Tenney.
  On 3 November 1709 James was a signatory to a petition of the children of the late Nicholas Wallingford to the Massachusetts government. This petition is described in more detail under Nicholas' record.
  On 13 February 1738 James Wallingford of Bradford, yeoman, sued his nephew Thomas Wallingford of Dover, N.H. for Ð40 to collect on a Ð20 bond dated 20 November 1716. The bond was an agreement between Thomas Wallingford, husbandman, of Bradford to pay Ð20 current money of New England and was witnessed by Abigail Davison and D. Davison and signed by Thomas. James was initially awarded Ð20 but on 8 March 1738 a jury found for the defendant and awarded all court costs to Thomas. The defendant had argued that at the time of the date of the bond he was "an infant" under the age of 21 and therefore not responsible to pay it. Included with the case records is a certified copy of Thomas' birth record from Bradford showing that he would have been 19 years old at the time. On 7 March 1739 James sued Thomas again to recover costs from the previous case in the sum of Ð18, originally awarded to Thomas but James complained that it should have gone to himself. The outcome of this appeal is not included in the case file, although the case was apparently heard on the first Tuesday of August 1739. Nothing is known of James after this date.
