• Notes

  Isaac2 Harrington (Benjamin1) was born probably at Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island in the 1660s and died at Norwich, New London County, Connecticut in 1727. He married Sarah, who died at Norwich in 1744. Soon after selling his home place back to his mother, Isaac bought 50 acres eight miles outside of Providence on the southern side of Westquadomsett Brook, near the Pawtucket River from Rebecca Whipple. Later, on 31 March 1696, he sold 50 acres of this plot with a house to Samuel Wilkinson. (EPR, XIV:271). Apparently, Isaac had settled near his older brother in the Westquadomsett section and probably went on to Norwich, Connecticut in 1696. He was a weaver by trade and Norwich may have afforded him greater economic opportunities. On 7 January 1724 in Providence, the following was witnessed, etc.: "Isaac Hearnden of Norwich, CT., yeoman, ...to Robert Currie of Providence... all my right of and to the Commonage 7 undivided lands... which appertaineth to me by the last will... of my father Benjamin Hernden and again repeated & confirmed by a deed made unto me by my Honored deceased mother." Isaac made his will 3 September 1727 and it was proved 16 August 1728. It reads as follows: "Will of Isaac Herington of Norwich, New London Co., Conn." "Dated 3 Sept 1727." "Isaac, very sick & weak in body but of perfect mind & memory, etc... Debts and funeral charges to be paid by the Executrix... Bequeathes to Sarah, dearly beloved wife, my Dwelling hous or housing in sd Norwich and Ten Acres of Land Where ye sd hous stands to be laide in such form as She my sd Wife so causes With all ye privilegs thereon or thereunto belonging to be hur own for Ever and at hur own Disposing And allso I give unto my sd wife all my moveable Estate Both Within Doars and Without to be hur own for Ever and at hur own Dispos - and the improvement of Sum of my other Lands During life as hereafter Exprest..." "to my Grandaughter - Unis Bennett - my daughter Sarah dcd-s youngest Daughter fourty shillings mony to be paid by my Executorix heareafter named When She arives to ye age at Eightene years..." "Appoints well beloved wife Sarah Sole Executorix" Isaac signed his mark to this document and it was witnessed by John Bennett, Josiah Harrington, and John Crery. (New London County Wills, 6:3-4)
