About Benjamin Wallingford
Benjamin , the twelfth child and youngest son of Nicholas I the emigrant was also a Master Mariner and in the shipping trade, drifting from Massachusetts to Maryland. This is proven by a deed made in 1708 when he pruchased 250 acres of land lying across the Potomac River in Prince George county, Maryland, and known as Wallingford's Purchase. He married Elizabeth , last name unknown, buy by a will made by John Brown to Benjamin WallingfordI; and this is almost positive proof that her name was Brown.
In 1741 we find an old will, made by Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Wallingford I, proving his death before this date. She mentions the name of her children as: Nicholas II, Benjamin II, John, Joseph, Elizabeth (Dore), and Sara (Bashears).
Farther up the Potomac River and across in Virginia, now Berkley county, West Virginia, we find many records proving their children's migration. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War a large migration of the family started and through this three new branches were formed. Wallingford and Murrow family history.
