• Notes

  A Richard Harrington arrived in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1643. He took the Freeman's Oath on 26 May 1647. This Richard was also Baptized in 1626 at St. Botolph's, London, England. Could this be the same man? As he's not connected in any of the well documented Harrington lines. Richard is mentioned by the Harrington lines but over looked, as the following shows: The Harrington Family in America Pg. 6 "Mr. Bond mentioned the name of Richard Harrington who lived there as early as 1643, and says that he has failed to discover any record of the marriage of Richard Harrington, or that he left any children him surviving. It may, therefore, be taken as reasonably certain that the Harrington family of America started with Robert Harrington of Watertown as the original ancestor." The inability to find a marriage record could be explained by the fact that Richard was married in England. And, if he is the father of our lines he certainly didn't use the proper spelling of Harrington. Mr. Bond also wouldn't have found any records of surviving children either as they would have already adopted what has come to be our surname of Harnden. Information on the names and dates are from the LDS and Chester H. Darr (August 1997)
