SABLE, A FRETTE ARGENTE

Various branches of the descendants of Osulf and his son,
Robert de Haverington (Harrington), have used this Norman Shield
with the interlaced fret design, which is identical with those
found in ancient Viking carvings, adding their own distinctive
crests or quartering above the shield.

Harington was the usual spelling of the family name during the
earlier period in England.

PREFACE

Material for this work has been taken from census, surrogate
and land records, graves and burial records, newspapers, local
histories, gazetteers and maps. The greatest thanks, however, are
to be given to the many members of the family and others who gave
information and made available their family and Bible records.
Without their help, this project would have been impossible to
accomplish.

I wish to express my deep appreciation to John B Rogerson of 31
Salterbeck Road, Salterbeck, Workington, Cumberland, England.
His home is at the edge of the Town of Harrington and he has
sent a large amount of interesting information concerning the
Town and the early Harrington’s there. He is a member of the
Old Harrington Parish Church about which more will be told
later. I regret that space is not sufficient to allow the
inclusion of more of the material he has sent me.

The brief history of the family in England which follows this
forward is based on his material and on a recent book, 
THE HARINGTON FAMILY by Ian Grimble, published in Great 
Britain. C. Roy Hudleston, Bursar of Hatfield College, 
Durham University, Durham, England, who is a Harrington 
descent, contributed helpful information and suggested 
consulting the REGISTER OF ST. BGEES ABBEY for information 
about the early family generations. This book is a record, 
in Latin, of the Abbey from its founding in 1125 until it 
was disbanded by King Henry VIII about 1500. I am indebted 
to Dr. Pascal Parents of Cambridge for this translation of 
those parts of the record which had to be with the early 
family in Harrington which is not far north of the site 
of the Abbey.

Another interesting series of letters came from Harry Liddle, 
a retired naval officer, of Hinckley, Leicester, England. His 
wife is of Harrington Descent. It is not uncommon in England. 
Mr. and Mrs. Liddle have visited the Town of Harrington and its 
church and the church of Cartmel in which the tomb of one of 
the greatest of the greatest of the family, Lord John Harington, 
1281-1347, was buried and have sent me interesting pictures and 
details.

Here in the United States, the New England and early New Your 
and Vermont history is based on the HARRINGTON FAMILY GENEALOGICAL 
GAZETTER by George H. Harrington who was born in Kings bury, 
Washington County, in 1872. He spent years of travel and research 
in preparing this comprehensive genealogy of the various branches 
of the family. In this area a Harrington descendant, Mr. Rachel 
Cottrell of West Hoosick, assisted him. I have endeavored to 
check these early records and expand them, bringing the various 
lines of descent from William down to date. Extensive use has 
been made of the HISTORY OF DANBY by William’s in tracing the 
branches of the family there. I regret that I was not able to 
bring several of these lines down to the present generations.

Herendeen which on branch of the family still keeps. By 1780 
the usual forms had become Harrington or Herrington. In recent 
years more families have adopted the Harrington spelling.

The Town of Glocester, Rhode Island, where William was born, 
recorded his name as Herendeen. The 1790 Easton census used 
the E spelling as does the tombstone of William’s brother, 
Thomas, in the Reed Cemetery at Danby Four Corners. However,
I have used the more common Harrington form unless public 
or family records show the E spelling as does my 
great-grandfather’s Bible.

Some refer to the Irish Harrington’s as separate stock. This 
is not true. During the conquest of Ireland by King Henry VIII 
and Queen Elizabeth estates were seized from the Irish leaders 
and granted to the English nobility or officers in the army. 
Among these properties some were granted to Harrington’s who 
were English, but settled in Ireland and became the ancestors 
of the so-called Irish Harrington’s.

Since many of the available records give dates in years only, 
no months or days have been included. Those who wish this 
information should consult public and cemetery records. Places
of burial, where known, are given. A list of cemeteries in this
area and their locations follows the section of the New England 
generations.

The names of the individuals descending from William Ha(e)rrington 
are arranged by generations. Each one is given a number when the 
name first appears under the detailed account of the parents. 
This number is slightly indented from the left margin of the page. 
If there is an asterisk * after the number, that number and name 
will be found in the next generation at the extreme left margin 
of the page with data about that person. These numbers can be 
traced backward or forward; thus any line of descent can be 
followed. An alphabetic index of the persons mentioned can be 
found at the end of the last generation.

Abbreviations used are: b for born, m for married, d for died, 
and dau for daughter and cir for about. If only one date appears 
with a name, it is the date of birth.

Unless otherwise noted, all places mentioned are in New Your State.
I ASK YOUR INDULGENCE FOR THE ERRORS AND OMISSIONS WHICH ARE 
CERTAIN TO BE FOUND IN THIS RECORD. MEMORY IS SOMETIMES MISTAKEN, 
AND TWO RECORDS OF THE SAME ITEM OFTEN CHANGES HAVE NO DOUBT TAKE 
PLACE. I SUGGEST THAT EACH PERSON WHO HAS A COPY OF THIS WORDK 
SHOULD CORRECT ANY ERRORS FOUND AND BRING THE INFORMATION DOWN 
TO DATE IN THEIR COPY SO THAT THEIR OWN RECORD MAY BE ACCURATE 
FOR SUCCEEDING GENERATIONS.

Bryon M. Harrington Cambridge, N. Y. July 1, 1964.


One of the problems has been the correct spelling of the family 
name. In the early New England period the recording clerks spelled 
it as they thought it sounded. One researcher found seventeen 
spellings in Rhode Island. These included, Hearnden, Herenton, 
Herndon and

THE TOWN OF HARRINGTON

The following description and brief history of the Town of Harrington 
is condensed from material sent me by John B. Rogerson, chief local 
historian of that area.

Places mentioned in this section and in the later history of the 
family in Great Britain can be found on any detailed map of England. 
Those accompanying the articles about England and Cumberland in the 
Encyclopedia Britannia are very satisfactory.

The ancient Town of Harrington, from which the family derives 
its name, lies on the coast of Cumberland the northwestern-most 
shire or county of England. It is located at the mouth of the 
River Wyre and overlooks Solway Firth. From his window Mr. Rogerson 
can look across Harrington Harbor and see the hills of Scotland 
beyond the Firth.

The early name of the town was Haverington and the first members 
of the family were recorded as de Haverington (of Harrington). 
Later the de was dropped and the town and family finally become 
Harrington or Herrington. During the early period the name was 
spelled Harington.

The town developed on the site of a Roman camp established about 
80 A. D. during the conquest of England by the Roman legions 
under Agricola. Such fortified camps were built throughout England, 
especially on the northern border, as places of defense against 
the Picts and Scots from the Scotland of that day.

After 410 A. D., when the Romans withdrew from England because of 
the pressure of Barbarian Tribes on the frontiers of the Empire, 
and unsettled period ensued. The Anglo-Saxons and later the Dames 
invaded England and struggled for control. No records concerning 
Harrington are available for this unsettled period of over 
six hundred years.

In 1066 William the Conqueror of Normandy invaded England. He and 
his immediate successors gradually subdued and united this country, 
finally reaching the north of England and Harrington.

Harrington Parish Church, which will be of special interest to the 
family, stands on the site of the old Roman encampment on an 
eminence overlooking the Town. It seems apparent that a place of 
worship was located on the spot from earliest Roman times. The 
present building has a Roman font and, incorporated in the masonry, 
are examples of Roman sculptures including a Roman stone coffin 
lid located in the masonry immediately inside the main doorway. 
During the building of this part of the Town a Roman Cross was 
unearthed. It is now on display in the Museum at New Castel, 
County Durham, England.

The square Norman tower of the church is undoubtedly a part of the 
original structure restored in 1885 and 1905. The church bell, 
which can be heard a full mile away, bears the date 1670.

--- end of page 4 of 12

Unfortunately the church records of the earlier years have been 
lost or destroyed, but those covering the period since King Henry VIII 
broke with the Roman Catholic Church and created the English 
Established Church as available since 1535 when Alred Cowerson 
is recorded as Rector.

In 1891 Harrington had a population of 3,525 and an areaa of 2,172 
acres. Shipbuilding in 1838 and coal mining and its exportation 
become important. In 1899 seven hundred and fifty-five vessels 
visited Harrington Harbor. These activities declined and the 
area suffered much loss of life among the younger men in the 
two world Wars.

Until 1934 Harrington had its own Urban District Council and its 
own officials. It was then added to the Borough of Workington. 
Today it is chiefly a residential area. Many of the old building 
with their high gables and being torn down and new housing 
developments are being built. New and varied industries are 
entering the area and conditions are improving.

It is of interest to us in the United States to know that, 
in 1778, during the Revolutionary War, John Paul Jones make 
an unsuccessful attack on Whitehaven, and Town of the coast not 
far south of Harrington.

Like our own upstate New Your, Harrington has snow in winter. 
During the very severe 1962-1963 season trains where snowbound. 
Sheep in the farming sections were buried for days, and there was 
a heavy loss of livestock. Isolated farms were cut off for weeks 
and people parished from the intense and unusual cold. In contrast 
to this bitter winter the past season has been very little show 
in Harrington.

No trees can grow on the coast of that area because of the winds 
and salt air, although the beautiful and famous Lake Country, 
which lies inland east of Harrington, has trees, lakes and marvelous 
scenery. Newspapers sent by Mr. Rogerson from Harrington complain 
that too many leave to go to the milder climates of Southern England. 
As will appear as we follow the Harrington family record, they too 
joined the southward Movement until the migration of our ancestor 
to Boston in 1630. Today no person of the Harrington name lives in 
the Town of Harrington.

THE ENGLISH GENERATIONS

A century after the beginning of the Norman Conquest of England 
in 1066, Osulf (Latin, Osulphus), holder of the Manor of Flemingby, 
appeared in history with a gift of distance north of the Town of 
Harrington of today.. The site of his residence and the hamlet 
which, no doubt, surrounded it is marked now by the Village of 
Flisby. It is a residential village with a population of about 
twelve hundred.

Osulf was undoubtedly of Norman ancestry since his descendants 
used the ancient Norman shield design show in the frontispiece, 
In addition, large land holdings such as his were held by the 
Normon conquerors and their descendants.

Robert, Osulf’s son, married Christiana, heiress of the Seaton 
lands which bordered the Manor of Flemingby. The REGISTER OF ST. 
BEES records that:

“I, Robert of Hafrincton, with the consent of my wife, Christiana, 
have granted … to God and Saint Mary, to Saint Bege of Coupland 
and the Monks living there …… the Church of Hafricton and duabus 
bovatis of land.”) (This would be what a pair of oxen could plow 
in two days, or about two acres.)

Ian Grimble states that this church is the Old Harrington Parish 
Church previously described. Since that time it has been repaired 
and partially rebuilt.

Robert and Christiana, their son, Thomas, and their grandson, 
Michael, lived in Harrington since the REGISTER calls them de 
Haverington. Their great-grandson, Robert, lost all but about 
380 acres of the Manor of Flemingby in litigation with the Abbott 
of Holm Cultram, whose lands were north of the Monor. However, 
by marriage to Agnes, daughter of Sir Richard Cansfield, he 
secured the rich manor of Aldingham on Morcambe Bay in Lancashire 
and moved south to that location.

John Harington, son of Robert and Agnes, was an outstanding man 
in his generation. He was born in 1281 and died in 1347. He was 
knighted with the Prince of Wales in Westminster Palace. He fought 
against the Scots and was made a Baron and attended Parliament 
from 1326 until his death. He married Joan, daughter of Sir William 
Dacre. They were buried in nearby Cartmel Church in a magnificent 
tomb out from a solid block of sandstone seven feet long with their 
effigies carved on the top. The tomb was opened in 1832 during 
repairs to its screen and some of John’s bones, the bones of his 
hunting hawk or falcon together with a piece of his leather 
doublet, were removed. They are in the possession of one of his 
descendants in England today.

By this time the family name had been changed from de Haverington 
to Harington.

Many branches of the Harrington family descend from this John of
Aldingham, Harrington is a common name in this section today.
One of his younger sons, Nicholas Harrington, founded a family 
in Yorkshire which was, for two centuries, one of the richest 
and most powerful in

--- end of page 6 of 12

England. However, in the Wars of the Roses they supported the wrong 
side and many fell in battle or were beheaded. The twenty-five manors 
they had possessed were forfeited to the Crown and they passed from 
history.

The oldest son of Baron John was also named John, He married Joan, 
daughter of Sir Walter Berningham. He died in 1363. His son, Robert, 
married Mary Kirby and removed to Fleet in Lincolnshire, dying in 
1399.

Robert’s son was also named Robert. He married Beatrice de la Laund 
and died in 1419. His son, another John, married Katherian Culpepper. 
They removed to Exton in Rutlandshire. Their son, Robert, married 
Maude Preset. He became High Sheriff of Rutlandshire, a post held 
by his descendants for several generations. This Robert died in 1501.

His son, still another John, married Alice Southill. He died in 1524. 
His son, also named John, married Elizabeth Moton. His death occurred 
in 1554.

In turn John and Elizabeth had a younger son whom they named John. 
This John Harington, of the eight generation after John of Lancaster, 
lived in Stepney in the eastern section of London. He was born about 
1525. He was know as “The Poet” since he was one of the minor poets 
of the Elizabethan Age. He also collected and published the writings 
of other writers of that period.

John made a very profitable marriage to Ethelreda Dingley, an 
illegitimate daughter of King Henry VIII, and secured from this 
union the Manor of Kelston and four other manors in Somerset in 
southwestern England. These properties had been taken from Bath 
Priory and given to Ethelreda by her father, King Henry.

John supported his natural sister-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, and was 
imprisoned for aiding her cause during the struggle for the throne 
which followed King Henry’s death.

Ethelreda died about 1555 and john then married Isabella Marham, 
daughter of Sir John Markham. He wooed her with love poems and 
recorded his attraction toward her “when first I thought her fair 
as she stood at the Princess’ window in goodly attire, and talked 
with divers (persons) in the court yard”.

With Elizabeth on the throne and John’s position secured, he began 
the building of one of the great manor houses of that day at Kelston 
Manor. He died in 1582 leaving a son, another John Harington, born in 
1561. He was know as “The Writer” and was made a godson of Queen 
Elizabeth.

He studied at Christ College, Cambridge, and took an A.M. degree. 
He began the study of law in London, but abandoned it and went to 
Kelston at the death of his father. Here he continued the building 
of the manor house begun by John the elder. He spent much time in 
court where he was popular for his wit and humor.

He gained fame of a sort by introducing piped water in the Kelston 
house and for perfecting and installing the first modern type of 
flush water closet in history. He wrote a humorous book

--- end of page 7 of 12

about his entitled THE METAMORPHASIS OF AJAX in which one illustration 
showed fish swimming in the storage tank near the ceiling.

Among his other writings were a translation of ORLANDO FUSIOSO, 
a TREATISE ON PLAY and several poems. Late in life he translated 
into English verse from the Latin the teachings of the ancient 
Medical School at Salerno, Italy, which were highly regarded in 
the England of that day. It was entitled THE ENGLISH DOCTOR or THE 
SCHOOL OF SALERNE.

John married Mary Rogers of a prominent Somerset family. She was a 
devout Puritan and gradually influenced him away from the license 
of the court to more sober channels.

The following little poem by his shows his love for her: 
Your little dog that barked as I came by I struck by hap so hard, 
I made him cry; And straight you put your finger in your eye And 
lowering sat. I asked the reason why, ‘Love me and love my dog: 
thou didst reply ‘Love as both should be loved!. ‘I will’, said I, 
And sealed it with a kiss. Then by and by Cleared were the clouds 
of thy fair frowning sky; Thus small events great masteries may try.

John became High Sheriff of Somerset and was knighted while on a 
expedition for the conquest of Ireland.

Queen Elizabeth, his patroness, died in 1603, and Sir John retired 
permanently to Kelston. Misfortunes came upon him. He had spent 
large sums in the building of the manor house. He became involved 
in litigation with the Rogers family, and, in addition, was compelled 
to pay a large sum which he had pledged to maintain the credit of 
a Harington relative, he was briefly imprisoned. In a sober and 
serious mood, he returned to Kelston and died in 1612 at the age 
of 51 years.

Sir John and Mary Rogers had nine children whom they raised at strict 
Puritans. At least three of these sons named in various sources as 
John, James, and Henry. One of these was a younger son, called John 
by Cutler and other New England authorities, who was the first of 
the family to arrive in the New World. However, Ian Crimble states 
that John was the oldest son who married Dioness Ley and remained 
in England. Since the son who came to America was drowned in Boston 
Harbor in 1630 before any vital records were kept there, and since 
the later burial records refer to his wife, Ann Clinton, as Widow 
Errington, no certain proof is available. At least he was a younger 
son of Sir John Harington according to public records and family 
traditions.

Ann Harington died in Charleston, Mass., in 1663. Her tombstone is 
the oldest in nearby Auburn Cemetery.

THE FAMILY IN NEW ENGLAND

--- end of page 8 of 12

The Harington English ancestry has been covered in some detail since 
the material is not easily available here in America. The New England 
generations will be briefly outlined since George Harrington’s 
GAZETTEER and other sources give much detail and many items of 
interest about this part of the family history.

For the sake of clarity the Harrington spelling of the name will 
be used unless definite proof of the Herrington form has been found.

In the following brief outline the ancestors of William Ha(e)rrington 
are in capitals.

FIRST GENERATION

John Harington, son of Sir John Harington, and Mary Rogers, was born 
about 1584. He married Ann Clinton, daughter of the Erarl of Lincoln, 
an influential Puritan who was very active in aiding that Sect in 
settling Boston after 1628. Ann was born in Newcastle, England, in 
1596, one of a family of seventeen children. John and Ann came to 
Boston in 1630. He was drowned in the harbor soon after their arrival, 
leaving Ann a widow with four children, all of whom were born in 
England. They were: Robert 1616, Benjamin 1618, Abraham 1620, and 
Rebecca born after that time.

Robert did not arrive in Boston until 1634. He may have remained with 
his grandmother, Mary Rogers Harington, whose death occurred in that 
year. He settled in Watertown, Mass., married Sarah George and had 
a family of ten boys and three girls. Abraham married Rebecca Cutter 
and remained near Boston. His line ‘daughtered out’ leaving no male 
descendants to carry on the family name. Rebecca married John Watson.

One recent genealogy questions whether Robert was a son of John and 
Ann. However, here is a family tradition in the writer’s line that 
three brothers came to Boston. The descendants of Robert and Benjamin 
called each other cousins in the earlier generation.

Captain Henry Harrington of Exeter, Rhode Island, and later of White 
Creek, New York, always claimed that Jonathan Harrington, who was 
killed in the Battle of Lexington, was his cousin. This Jonathan 
Harrington was definitely a descendant of Robert of Watertown while 
Captain Henry was a descendant of Benjamin of Rhode Island.

--- end of page 9 of 12

SECOND GENERATION

Benjamin Harrington, 1618-1687, son of John and Ann Harrington, 
married Elizabeth White, of the Quaker faith. While in his teens 
Benjamin became a Baptist and followed Roger Williams to Rhode Island 
and settled in Providence on Harrington Lane, now Rochambean Avenue, 
He fought in King Phillip’s War and acquired considerable property, 
chiefly land.

The children of Benjamin and Elizabeth, all born in Providence were: 
Benjamin, Alice, Joseph, Sarah, Mary, William, John, Thomas, and 
Isaac. They left twenty-one grandsons whose descendants were the 
first of the family to settle in Vermont and upstate New York. Only 
in later years did any of the descendants of Robert of Watertown 
come to these areas.

Some of these descendants who settled in New Your were: Captain Henry 
in White Creek. Benjamin and Samuel in Stephenson, John, Elisha and 
Silas in Warrensburg and Williams and his sons in Easton.

Among those in Vermont were: Captain Job and James in Pownal, John 
in Bennington, William, Paul and Abraham in Shaftsbury and Thomas 
and John in Danby. The last two were brothers of William of Easton 
whose descendants this record follows.

Another noted Vermont descendant was Theophilus of Clarendon, who 
became a Justice former master was trying to recover, that “Evidence 
on ownership of a human being is not sufficient without evidence of 
a bill of sale signed by God’, is famous.

This decision is said to have been commemorated by a tablet in 
Westminster Abby in England. It is inscribed on his large monument 
in Clarendon Cemetery.

THIRD GENERATION

William Harrington, 1694-1777, son of Benjamin and Elizabeth, lived 
in Providence, Rhode Island. He was a shoemaker and owned some 
property. He first married Esther ….., Abigail, Esther, Preserved, 
Keziah, Solomon, Meribah and Martha.

FOURTH GENERATION

Elisha Harrington, 1694-1777, son of William and Esther, was born 
in Providence and later removed to the Town of Glocester in Northern 
Rhode Island. He was a farmer and landowner, His first wife was Ruth 
Walling by whom he had two children: Jane and Elisha, After Ruth’s 
death he married Susannah Rutenburg. They had eleven children: 
William, Mercy, Avis, Peter, Thomas and John of Danby, Deliverance, 
Freelove, Rachel, Stephen and Penelope.

William, the oldest son, is the person whose descendants are traced 
is the remainder of this work.

south of the residence and is on a part of the original Harrington 
lands purchased about 1780. The early burials here were marked by 
field stoned set upright at the head and foot of the graves. 
Some of these stones are still in position, but many have fallen 
over. Those thus marked cannot be identified, but the large area 
included indicates many early burials. Only four later marble 
tombstones show names and dates. No doubt William Harrington was 
buried here in 1794.

FIFTH GENERATION

William Harrington, (Herrington, Herendeen), oldest son of Elisha 
Harrington and Susannah Rutenburg, married Ann Hamon, He was born 
in Chepachet, Town of Glocester, Rhode Island, in 1718 and died on 
Harrington Hill, Town of Easton, Washington County, in 1794, 
William served as Second Lieutenant in Lord Amherst’s forces 
during the French and Indian War.

Family Tradition tells that, as youth, William was a sailor under 
King George II and deserted the British Navy in Rhode Island by 
swimming ashore at night because he had been required to stoop 
while a fellow sailor was strapped to this back and flogged by 
officers.

It also states that he had an iron-working business in Chepachet 
where he made hinges, nails and other metal products and that he 
suffered financial losses by accepting continental currency during 
the Revolution. It is said that he paid $1,800.00 worth of that 
money for a bushel of wheat to sow soon after arriving on Harrington 
Hill.

--- end of page 11 of 12

Although well past middle age, William and Ann with several of 
their children joined the migration which followed Burgoyne’s 
defeat at Saratoga and the end of the Revolution. Conditions were 
hard in Rhode Island and those first great westward movement 
brought them and many other settlers into Vermont and New York.
William and his family arrived in the Town of Easton, then part 
of Albany County, about 1780. At least five of his sons and their 
families were on Harrington Hill before 1790. It became a gathering 
place for the Harringtons from Rhode Island. Some remained while 
others went elsewhere.

William and others of the early period were probably buried in the 
Old Harrington Family Cemetery on the present George Ciolko farm w
hich was a part of the original Harrington lands. These early graves 
had only fieldstone markers; without inscriptions placed at the head 
and foot of each grave.

William’s Bible, printed in Old English script in Clasgow, Scotland, 
was in the possession of John J. Herrington, a descendant, as late 
as 1927. Its present whereabouts is not known. Fortunately, however,
George H. Harrington copied the list of the children it contained 
and preserved the record in his GAZETTEER. Some of the names were 
not legible, but all but two have been supplied from other sources. 
Ten of the twelve, born in Rhode Island, were:

2* William Harrington, Jr., 1745 
3* Ezekiel Harrington, 1747 
4 Mary Harrington, 1749 
5 Hope Harrington, 1751 
6* Ebenerzer Harrington, 1752 
7* Israel Harrington, 1754 
8 Emily Harrington, 1758 
9* John Harrington, 1762 
10* Richard Harrington, 1765 
11* Silas Harrington, 1767

The name of one child, born in 1760, is not legible. A son, born 
in 1771 is said to have married Abigzil…. And settled in Dorset, 
Vermont. There son, Zail Harrington, is said to have gone with his 
mother to live with uncle Silas after has father’s death. No doubt 
some of the daughters married in Rhoda Island.
