Note:
From Wallingfords of New England: Master Tate's diary reports that "Mrs.Susannah Wallingford, Widow of Jn. Wallingford, deceased, died on Sunday, February 9, 1772". Shackford speculates that this John may have taken this Susannah as a second wife, but the differences in their apparent ages makes this unlikely, unless, of course, he married a young girl while he was an old man.

BIRTH: Ancestry of George W. Bush and Wallingfords of New England have birth in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.

BIOGRAPHY: From Wallingfords of New England: In a warrant dated 9 April 1680 John Wallingford and Thomas Thurla were ordered to appear in court "to answer their presentments".
John is included on a 9 July 1690 military roll during King William's War. He signed as one of many in the North Regiment in Essex County who were ready to "voluntarily offer our selvis to serve God, our King & Countrye in ye designed Expedition for Canada". John March of Newbury was Captain of the Company. Whether John Wallingford and the regiment actually went on this expedition isn't stated, but if they did, they were commanded by Sir William Phips and sailed off from Boston in an armada on 21 August 1690 to attack Quebec City. The invasion was completely unsuccessful due to a combination of poor military command, lack of supplies and the onset of smallpox among the attackers. If John did serve on this campaign he would have been the first Wallingford to serve in the military in America. It seems likely that he did serve on the expedition given the following fact. In 1739 the township of Bakerstown, now Salisbury, N.H., was laid out and granted to the "Soldiers in the expedition to Canada Anno 1690 under the Command of Capt John March". Included among the proprietors from Newbury was John's son Capt. Thomas Wallingford, although he was living in Dover, N.H. at the time.
Following John's marriage to the daughter of Judge John Tuttle of Dover, N.H. they lived at Bradford, Mass. In 1702 Colonel Paul Wentworth and Judge John Tuttle became partners in a lumber business on the Salmon Falls River in Dover. Judge Tuttle invited his son-in-law John Wallingford to come to Salmon Falls to help with the operation of the saw mill and lumber business. The family moved to that area later on.
On 27 September 1701 John "of Bradford" gave bond with Robert Mullican of Bradford for the administration of the estate of his brother Joseph Wallingford, late of Bradford deceased intestate, said bond being witnessed by John and Hannah Higginson.
On 27 September 1701, the same day he 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. He was "of Bradford" when he gave bond again with Robert Mullican, said bond also being witnessed by John and Hannah Higginson.
John Wallingford "of Bradford" was administrator of the estate of his mother "Sarah Wallingford alias Mash" [sic], giving bond on 22 August 1709 with Joseph Peasley of Haverhill, Mass. and John Wicom of Newbury, Mass. He signed by mark, not a signature. On the back of this bond notice he is called "eldest surviving son of Sarah Wallingford alias Mash", and she is described as "Relict of Nicholas Wallingford of Bradford".
