Their marriage record was filed in Adams Co, OH, (from: Some Marriage Records of Adams County OHIO 1797-1894, published by the Adams Co, OH Genealogical Soc. in 1988). After her death, William married Frances Thomas in Fleming Co, KY, (from: Marriage Bonds of Fleming Co, KY 1798-1825 by Gareth L. Mark). Frances' father's name is given as James in the book. The clerk's office in both counties should be able to furnish you with copies of these records. I have a transcription of a letter written in 1909 by Laura Goodman McElvee of Sigourney, IA. She was a granddaughter of John Wallingford, son of Nicholas. She was born in 1833. In the letter she named all of the children of Nicholas. The children, as she named them, are: William, James, Marcus, John, Hiram, Lewis, Thomas, Prudance, Sara, Nancy, Elizabeth, Mary, Julia and Sophronia. She also stated she knew all of them but Sophronia. The children by Nicholas' second marriage are named in his will, as well as James, John and Mark. Laura would have been about 32 or 33 when William died. I'd say her identification of William as a son of NIcholas, is probably correct. I also have a transcription of William's Family Bible that lists both wives, however, I'm not sure how true of a transcription it is. I located the transcription in the Wallingford family files at the Mason Museum in Maysville, KY. I have never found any proof that Alice's maiden name was Hayes. William's brother, Mark, died in 1858 in Lewis Co and his death record does identify his mother as being named Alice, however, her maiden name was not given. Nicholas & Alice were most likely married in Berkely Co, VA (now WV). Unfortunately, that county's early marriage bonds are missing.
