DEATH: One source has death after 1748 in Prince Georges County,Maryland.
From Wallingfords of New England: On 27 September 1701, John Wallingford gave bond for the estate of his brother Joseph, he did the same on the estate of his brother Benjamin, apparently on a false report of his death. An inventory was taken on 22 October 1701 by the same Richard Kimball and Jonas Platts which included "about sixten acres of land and Medow".(78) But Benjamin was alive and well and living in Maryland, and he was back in Massachusetts in 1709, evidently to rectify the situation.

BIOGRAPHY: From Wallingfords of New England: On 27 September 1701 John Wallingford gave bond for the administration of the estate of his brother Benjamin, apparently upon a false report of his death. An inventory of Benjamin's estate was taken on 22 October 1701 by the Richard Kimball and Jonas Platts which included "about sixten acres of land and Medow". But Benjamin was alive and well and living in Maryland, and he was back in Massachusetts in 1709, evidently to rectify the situation. On 4 April 1709 John Wallingford and his brother Benjamin signed an agreement -- John "did In ye Absence of Benja Wallingford take out Admn on said Benja Lands as may appear by Record. It is agreed by both parties yt if said administration shall have ye Improvement of said Estate for ye Time past. In consideration of his trouble Charge & care In Managing said Estate & do hereby acquitt & release ye said Admr for any reckoning considering his Adminstration & ye said Benja to Enjoy & possess all his [illeg.] of right Divided to him." Benjamin either remained in Massachusetts after this April 1709 agreement was made or soon returned, because on 3 November 1709 he 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 his father's record. Also that same year he was a beneficiary to the estate of his brother Joseph. He and each of his surviving siblings received one pound two shillings from the estate. Benjamin moved to Maryland and had numerous descendants, many in Kentucky. His line has not been traced in this genealogy. For more information on his descendants see the Wallingford genealogy by Charles C. Wallingford and Charles H. Murrow, available on microfilm in LDS Family History Centers worldwide.
