In 1880 Timothy relocated to Detroit, Michigan where at age 22 he worked as a servant in the George A. Owen household. Owen was a dry goods dealer in Detroit. The census shows Nicholas as being born in 1858 in New York State. In the 1880 Detroit city directory is Walling, N. Timothy, porter, Amos House.

- 1882 Detroit: Timothy N. Walling, bartender at 42 Michigan Grand Ave.
- 1883-1885 Detroit directories: Timothy is not found because he's back in Ogdensburg where he is listed in the 1885 Ogdensburg city directory as a plumber, living with his father on NY Ave.)
In 1885, Timothy left Ogdensburg and returned to Michigan, and his brother William C. went with him. Both are found living together in the 1886 directory of Bay City, Mich: Walling, Timothy N. and William C., laborers, both board at the Elk Hotel. In 1886, they both moved to Detroit, where they are found in the following Detroit city directories:
- 1886: Walling, Timothy, driver for G.F. Case, boards 167 Woodbridge W.
Walling, William C., bartender for Frank Mullen, bds 47 Fort east.

William is found in later Detroit directories where he died Aug. 26, 1892. Timothy returned to Bay City and is found in the 1890 directory: Bay City Mich, Timothy N. Walling, hostler, boards 126 Washington.
- 1894, Grand Rapids, Mich. Timothy Walling, cook, boards Hotel Cadillac
- 1897, Detroit, Timothy Walling, cook, rooms at 15 Brush
There are no further listings for Timothy nor a record of his death in Michigan. When his sister, Anna Walling Burlingame died in 1913, among survivors are "one brother, Cornelius, in the West." That they didn't even recall his name indicates no contact between Timothy and his family, and he probably died prior to 1913. He is not found in the 1900 or 1910 U.S. census so he likely died between 1897-1900 in Michigan, with little notice or fanfare since he never married and always worked menial jobs.
