Wallingford/Jarlov Family Trees

Mary Wallingford was born in either Newbury or Rowley, Mass. 15 or 22 August 1663.(104) Newbury records give the 22nd, and Rowley records the 15th. Mary died after 18 November 1732, at approximately 69 years of age. (She was alive when her husband wrote his will on that date.)(105)

She married Joseph Poore, 6 August 1680, in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.(106) Joseph was born 4 October 1653, in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.(107) Joseph was the son of John Poore and Sarah. Joseph died before 4 June 1735, probably in Newbury, Mass., at approximately 81 years of age.(108) His will was dated 18 November 1732 and probated on 4 June 1735. When Mary was sixteen she appeared as a witness in a trial against William Fanning of Newbury. On 28 August 1679 Caleb Moody made a complaint against said Fanning and his wife of several misdemeanors. He claimed that Fanning was "overgone with excessive drinking" and was quarrelling with his wife and threatening her and calling her "whore, devill etc." Sarah Moody and Mary Wallington gave statements that "as they were going by the house to fetch the Cowes, in the morning, Goodwife ffanning coming forth & beginning to complaine of her husband to them: he swore God damme my soule, if you speake a word I will knock out your braines".(109)

On 3 November 1709 Joseph 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.(110)

Joseph was a weaver. They resided in Newbury, Mass. except for a short time in Rowley about 1700. Their first child was unnamed and was born and died in 1683.(111) He was called Joseph Sr. in the Newbury town records to distinguish him from another Joseph who was having children around the same time.

A Mary Poor married William Pilsbury on 15 November 1737 in Newbury.(112) This may be our Mary or it could be another Mary Poore entirely. It is only the fact that the marriage took place two years after her husband's death that makes it seem at all likely. More research is necessary into the local Pilsbury family.
