Re: Robert de Haverington or Harrington born about 1356

jtherrington — 2012-05-24 21:22:11Z

I am sure the book is probably available thru a library. I purchased a copy thru "Abe Books" online but right now no on seems to have a copy.
Another amazing source of information on the other early generations (circa 1550 ad and later) is a google book--"memoranda,historical and geneological,relating to the parish of kelston in the county somerset" by rev francis poynton. The reverend went thru all the county and parish records for the harington family in kelston and recording them all in book form. This is the branch of the family that included John who married to Henry VIII illegitamate daughter and his son who was godson to Queen Elizabeth I.

robert de haverington was married to agnes cansfield.
their son was john de harrington (1st lord of aldingham) who married joan dacre.
their son-robert de harrington married a e de multon.
their son-john de harrington- married joan berningham.
their son was robert de harrington (the 3rd lord of aldingham)

I got most of this information from a book by ian grimble "The Harington Family".

Re: JAMES HARRINGTON REUNION

holly_dillon2 — 2012-04-30 06:03:21Z

Hello,

My name is Holly Dillon. My mother's last name is Harrington. I just spoke with her about your inquiry, and she told me that her father was from St. Vincent by way of Scotland then to England, to St. Vincent, and then to the West Indies. his name was Carl Curley Herman Hamilton Harrington, given a royal family name from Scotland. the Harrington name is originally from Scotland; however, many migrated to England and the West Indies.

My grandfather was one of the first individuals that started the first transportation bus systems in St. Vincent along with an individual name Mr. Harry. He married my grandmother Adina James, while she was at the age of 14. Back in those days 14 was a natural marrying age. My great grandmother's last name was Wyckham, or Wickham from England. She went on to tell me that when my aunt, her oldest sister was getting married, my grandfather sent wire to all of his relatives in Scotland and England and St. Vincent for the wedding, and she then went on to say that there were so many people that came that they had to put people up in the guest house that her father owned. She said that her father was a wealthy man that traveled extensively. So you may want to look up the Harrington's in St. Vincent of the West Indies. That was one of major areas the wealthy Caucasian Harrington's settled into after migrating from Scotland and England.

If you would like i could ask my mom if it would be okay for you to call her in Florida. She is in West Palm beach, Florida.

Re: harrington children, miners mills, luzerne co.PA 1880s

katrinacoopey — 2012-01-06 22:47:50Z

Yes, it certainly sounds like the right family. My great-grandmother was Jane Tobin, Margaret's youngest sister. My interest in the family was sparked by some letters that have been passed down through from my grandmother. One letter is from Margaret to her mother in Wales, she wrote it shortly after Cornelius died in 1879, it is such a sad letter, and Margaret died herself the following year. It made me wonder what happened to the children after they were orphaned. I have been searching Ancestry but have only found Ellen/Helen on the 1880 census, I haven't been able to find anything about the other children. I have some photos and newspaper cutting that may be of interest to you - if you'd like copies please e-mail me at katrinacoopey@hotmail.com. Thanks for responding to my message.

My great grandmother was Mary Ann Harrington Allen. she was born Sept 26,1878 to Cornelius Harrington and Margaret Tobin Harrigton. Mary Ann's brother and sister's names were William, Daniel and Helen. Helen was adopted and was called Ellen. I know that Mary Ann was baptized in St. Lawrence Church in Houtzdale Pa in October of 1878 Her god parents were Daniel Morrissey and Roseanna Murphy.
We have been told that they came to the US from Wales. I don't have much more information that that. Is it possible that mary ann is one of the children you are looking for.

Re: Robert HARRINGTON (c1616-1707) of Watertown MA

Diana_Gale_Matthiesen — 2011-12-21 23:28:16Z

Yes, there was a Robert HERRINGTON baptized in 1616 in Suffolk, England, the son of Robert HERRINGTON & Joan JENTILMAN:
http://dgmweb.net/FGS/H/HerringtonRobert-JoanJentilman.html

And, yes, there was a Robert HARRINGTON, born about 1616 in England, who married Susanna GEORGE and lived in Watertown, MA:
http://dgmweb.net/FGS/H/HarringtonRobert-SusannaGeorge.html

The problem is, there is no evidence proving that the Robert HERRINGTON of Suffolk is the Robert HARRINGTON of Watertown. You can't "cross the pond" based solely on the name and birth year.

Rev. YOUNGES settled in Southold, Long Island, New York, and Robert HARRINGTON settled in Watertown, Massachusetts. Families usually stick together when they immigrate, so geography argues against a connection.

I discuss the HARRINGTON/HERRINGTON/ERRINGTON immigrants to New England on this page:
http://dgmweb.net/FGS/H/Harrington_immigrants_to_New_England...

I descend from Robert HARRINGTON of Watertown, so I would love to have "crossed the pond" and discovered his origin, but I don't believe we have.

Re: Robert HARRINGTON (c1616-1707) of Watertown MA

jtherrington — 2011-12-20 17:44:20Z

I copied this from another member on the site. Its been an oongoing debate about when/how Robert crossed as no one has been able to locate manifest with him on. The research below seems the best explanation.

Due to the many discrepancies I was finding on the web regarding the Harrington family, I contacted the Historical Society of Watertown and hired their genealogist to research the Harrington family for me. The following "story" is her final report, based on the references she listed at the bottom. She has also included some information on the Reverend John Younges family since Younges married the widow of Robert Harrington I.

" Robert Harrington I (ca. 1595-1622) was born in England. He married Joan Jentilman (1598-1638) on March 7, 1613. who was born in England. (Manuscript Parish Register Of Southwold, Suffolk, England marriage record of). He died in England in 1622 and she married John Younges the same year, July 24, 1622. She had at least one more child by Younges and died young in England. Reverend John Younges emigrated to America and was an original founder of Southold, Long Island, New York. He founded the First Church (then Congregational, later Presbyterian) in Southold, Long Island, New York, where he was the minister until his death there on February 24, 1671/2, aged 74 years.

The passenger list of the ship “Mary Anne” out of Yarmouth, England bound for New England, May 1637 lists John Yonges, his wife Joan and six children. Robert Harrington is not listed. However there is a note added by the ship’s master:

“ Yonges John 35, Minister from St Margaret's, Ipswitch, Suffolk, bound for Salem. [Sidelined: "This man was forbidden passage by the Commissioners and went not from Yarmouth."]

Yonges Joan 34

Yonges John

Yonges Thomas

Yonges Anne

Yonges Rachell

Yonges Marey

Yonges Josueph.

Rev. Younges came to America very shortly afterward and landed in Salem but soon moved to New Haven and then Long Island, New York and helped found Southold, Suffolk County, Long Island. He became the minister of the first church of Southold. Naturally it was Congregational.

So we see that although Joan was alive and ready to come to America in 1637, she was dead when John Younges actually arrived at Southold Long Island (in the summer of 1639). I cannot find any record of which ship Younges actually sailed on. I checked all published passenger lists between 1637 and 1639. Robert Harrington II may have come over sooner, of course. He was 21 years old in 1637. However I cannot find him on any passenger list between 1630 and 1640. Many passenger ship lists have never been published.

Robert Harrington II, son of Joan Jentilman and Robert Harrington I, was baptized Oct. 1, 1616 in Southwold, Suffolk, England. He came to America before 1644 because he is listed as a proprietor of Watertown in 1644. Robert Harrington, married October 1, 1648, Susanna, daughter of John GEORGE. They had 13 children.

' Robert Harrington is last on the list of proprietors in Watertown (1642-44). He then owned a homestall given to him by Thomas Hastings. The gift renders it probable that he was a kinsman of Thomas Hastings.' Bond Pg. 272. I found the first printed misinformation about the ship in Bouley. A narrative History of the Harrington Family. Worcester, 1963. In fact, I’ve studied the genealogy of the Hastings family and find no Robert Harrington listed. At this time in Watertown, there was a huge influx of new immigrants and it was ruled by the town that no land or homestall in the original town lots was to be sold to the newcomers. This resulted in a lot of hanky-panky. Original settlers were “giving” land and homestalls to the newcomers. Quiet deals were made. This may be how Robert Harrington came by his “gift” from Hastings.

Robert Harrington’s inventory (in will) mentions 16 lots of land (642.5 acres) appraised at 717 lbs. He had purchased the Oldham Farm for 90 lbs (250 acres.) Some of his descendants still lived there at the time of Bond’s book writing, ca. 1859.

Robert and Susannah’s son, John, of Cambridge Farms (Lexington), who was the father of twelve children, was born August 24, 1651. He died Waltham August 17, 1741, age 90.

He married Hannah Winter Nov 17, 1681. Hannah was born in Cambridge Farms April 10, 1665. Cambridge Farms was that part of Cambridge which later became Lexington. She died July 17, 1741 in that part of Watertown that became Waltham, age 78.

John Harrington is mentioned in the will of Hannah Winter’s father, as guardian of Hannah’s sister Mary and receiver of their shares of John Winter’s estate. John Winter still lived at Cambridge Farms when he died.

John and Hannah Harrington had Lydia Harrington, born March 2, 1690, 4th child of 12. (last 2 were twins)..Lydia married John Cutter, son of William and Rebecca (Rolfe) Cutter.

Buried in The Old Burying Ground (Arlington Street Cemetery) Watertown MA:

Nellie Harrington -- Galesburg, MI

FoxxTrotter — 2011-12-17 02:03:13Z

I'm trying to find any additional information on a Nellie Harrington, daughter of Frank Harrington and Carrie Burnes. She was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1880. Nellie was married to Peter Devall in Galesburg in 1899. I don't have anything else on her after that period. Peter later married Matilda Beckwith in 1904, so I assume that he either divorced from Nellie or she died sometime before 1903. Unfortunately, I haven't found a death record for her during that time. Also, I'm unable to find much information on her parents as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :0)

Robert HARRINGTON (c1616-1707) of Watertown MA

Fredrick Lewis Weis, in his "Early Generations of the Family of Robert Harrington of Watertown, Massachusetts..." (self-published 1958, p. 7), states that Robert made the crossing on the ship, "Elizabeth," embarking 10 Apr 1634 out of Ipswich, Suffolk, England. The problem is...

I have consulted three different transcriptions of the passenger manifest for this voyage, and none list Robert HARRINGTON as a passenger. Does anyone have an explanation for this discrepancy? Has anyone seen and transcribed the original, themselves?

It's of profound importance whether he is or is not on this voyage because it's the foundation of Weis's claim that Robert's origin is in Suffolk.
