David Wallingford, Jr., was born in Milton, in 1801, son of David [Sr.] and Sarah (Corson) Wallingford.
(N.B.: There were several Milton men in this time named “David Wallingford,” and it is difficult to distinguish between them. This David Wallingford (1801-1878) was called “Jr.” from his birth through the death of his father, who was also named David Wallingford, in 1826. The “Jr.” appellation passed then to his seven-year-old nephew of the same name, David Wallingford (1819-1903), son of Samuel Wallingford (1790-1815). He was “Jr.” only in that sense that he was younger, rather than as being the son of the elder. The elder David Wallingford had also a son named David W. Wallingford (1848-1926), who was distinguished through his having had a middle name, whereas the others lacked them. For these reasons, it is here assumed the elder David Wallingford (1801-1878) – without appellation – to have been the Milton Selectman of 1845-1846 and the NH State Representative of 1855-56, while his younger nephew, David Wallingford (1819-1903) – with the “Jr.” appellation – is assumed to have been the Milton Selectman of 1855-56, 1870, and, after the 1878 death of the elder David Wallingford, as having been – now without appellation – the Milton Selectman of 1880-81).
Mr. David Wallingford married in Strafford, NH, September 21, 1828, Miss Mary Ann Tasker, he of Dover, NH, and she of Strafford, NH. Rev. Enoch Place of Strafford, NH, performed the ceremony. She was born in Strafford, in 1805, daughter of Daniel and Sarah “Sally” (Randall) Tasker.
(The known children of David and Mary A. (Tasker) Wallingford were: Samuel Wallingford (1830–1830), Eliza Jane Wallingford (1832–1867), George S. Wallingford (1834–1857), Samuel Willard Wallingford (1837–1899), Mary E. Wallingford (1841-1882), David Woodbury Wallingford [I] (1844–1844), Sarah Ann Wallingford (1845–1893), David Woodbury Wallingford [II] (1848–1926), Emma F. Wallingford (1850–1920), and Susan E. Wallingford (1852–1856)).

Anthony Colby, of New London, NH, and 43 votes [26.2%] to Democrat John H. Steele, of Peterborough, NH. (See Milton and Abolitionism). (On a statewide basis, Abolitionist Hoit received 5,786 votes [12.9%], Whig Colby received 15,579 votes [34.8%], and Democrat Steele received 23,406 votes [52.3%]). Democrat Steele won the election. Most editors identified Steele as a “Loco Foco” Democrat, while others said he was favored by the “Polkites.”
NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. The Loco-Focos elect 4 of the 5 Councillors and 10 of the 12 Senators, and will of course elect the others in Joint Meeting of the Legislature. Hon Salma Hale, the Whig candidate for Senate in the 9th (Cheshire) District, is said by the Patriot to lack six votes of a majority over all others. The House, so far, stands 156 Loco, 74 Whig, 7 Abolition, 2 politics unknown, 19 towns no choice, 9 to be heard from – probably all Loco (Greenfield Recorder, March 25, 1845).
Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson said of the “Loco Foco” Democrats: “The new race is stiff, heady, and rebellious; they are fanatics in freedom; they hate tolls, taxes, turnpikes, banks, hierarchies, governors, yea, almost all laws.” They had favored formerly Presidential candidates Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren.
