170. Jemima⁵ Wallingford (Jonathan⁴, Nicholas³, Nicholas², Nicholas¹) was born in Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts 25 December 1742.⁽¹³⁴³⁾ Jemima died 28 August 1792, in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts.⁽¹³⁴⁴⁾

She married John Edwards III, 2 April 1761, in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts.⁽¹³⁴⁵⁾ She was "of Bradford" at the time of their marriage.

John was born 28 October 1738, in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts.⁽¹³⁴⁶⁾ John was the son of John Edwards and Elizabeth Crockett. John died in 1789.⁽¹³⁴⁷⁾ He was likely alive on 6 January 1789 when a John Edwards, yeoman, of Haverhill, gave bond for David Wallingford, yeoman, of Hollis, N.H., for the administration of the estate of Martha Wallingford of Haverhill, widow, deceased intestate.⁽¹³⁴⁸⁾ David was presumably his brother in law, and Martha his mother-in-law. He was certainly deceased by 1792 because Jemima is called "widow" on her death record in that year. He was a cooper in Haverhill, Mass.⁽¹³⁴⁹⁾

Jemima Wallingford and John Edwards III had the following children:

265 i. Elizabeth⁶ Edwards was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts 28 April 1762.⁽¹³⁵⁰⁾ She may be the Elizabeth Edwards who married William Burk in Haverhill on 29 December 1786.⁽¹³⁵¹⁾

266 ii. John Edwards IV was born in Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts 14 April 1764.⁽¹³⁵²⁾ The Haverhill vital records state that he was born "at Bradford".

267 iii. Jonathan Edwards was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts 14 July 1766.⁽¹³⁵³⁾

268 iv. William Edwards was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts 15 September 1768.⁽¹³⁵⁴⁾ He may be the William Edwards who married Ruth Gile in Haverhill on 26 November 1790.⁽¹³⁵⁵⁾

269 v. David Edwards was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts 5 November 1770.⁽¹³⁵⁶⁾

275 xi. Ebenezer Blodgett Edwards was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts 30 November 1784.⁽¹³⁶³⁾ The published Haverhill vital records state that a copy of the town records had his name written as "Elemy", which probably explains why Shackford has this child as a female named "Elemay Blodgett".

276 xii. Ebenezer Edwards was born in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts 23 December 1788.⁽¹³⁶⁴⁾
