William Harrington Or Herrington AND OF William Harrington or Herrington 1718-1794 Various branches of the descendants of Osulf and his son, Robert de Haverington (Harrington), hav-e used this Norman shield with the interiaced fret design, which is identical with those found in ancient Viking carvings, add.ing their own distinctive crests or quarterings above the shield. Harington was the usual spelling of the family name during the earlier period in England. FOREWORD Materiai 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 mem­ bers 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 accompJish. · I wish to express my deep appreciation to John B. Rogerson of 31 Salt­ erbeck Road, Salterbeck, Workington, Cumberland, England. His home is at the edge of the Town of Harrington and he has sent a large amount of in­ teresting information concerning the Town and the early Harriogtons 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 foreword 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 of Harrington descent, .contributed helpful information and suggested consulting the REGISTER OF ST. BEES 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 Par­ ente of Cambridge for his translation of those parts of the record which had to do 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 re­ tired naval officer, of Hinckley, Leicester, England. His wife is of Harr­ ington descent. It is.of interest that her family has spelled the name Herrington and that th\s spelling is not uncommon in England. Mr. and Mrs. Liddle have visited the Town of Harrington and its church and the church at Cartmel in which the tomb of one 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 York and Vermont history of the family is based on ·the HARRINGTON FAMILY GENEALOGI­ CAL GAZETTEER by George He Harrington who was born in Kingsbury, 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, Mrs. Rachel Cottrell of West Hoosick 9 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 Williams 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. · 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 Herendeen which one branch of the family still keeps. By 1780 the usual forms had become Harr­ ington or Herrington. In recent years more families have adopted the Harr­ ington 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 Harringtons as a separate stock. This is not true. During the conquest of Ireland by King Henry VIII and Queen Eliza­ beth estates were seized from the Irish leaders and granted to the English nobility or officers in the army. Among these properties some were grant­ ed. to Harringtons who were English, but settled in Ireland and became the ancestors of the so-called Irish Harringtons. Since many of the available records give dates in years only, no mon­ ths 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 aster­ isk* 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 per­ son. These numbers can be traced backward or forward; thus any line of des­ cent 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, dau. for daughter and ciro 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 York 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 DIFFER. IN ADDITION, THESE MATERIALS HAVE BEEN COLL­ ECTED OVER A SIX-YEAR PERIOD, SO CHANGES HAVE NO DOUBT TAKEN PLACE.- I SUGGEST THAT EACH PERSON WHO HAS A COPY OF THIS WORK 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. Byron M. Herrington Cambridge, N.Y. July 1, 1964. THE TOWN OF HARRINGTON The following description and brief history of the Town of Harring­ ton 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 Britian can be found on any detailed map of England. Those accompanying the articles about England and Cumberland in the En~ cyclopedia Brittanica 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 name both finally became Harr­ ington or Herrington. During the early period the name was spelled Har­ ington. The town developed on the site of a Roman camp established about 80 A.O. during the conquest of England by the Roman legions under Agricola. Such fortified camps were built throughout England, especially on the northemi.border, as places of defense against the Picts and Scots from the Scotland of that day. After 410 A.O., when the Romans withdrew from England becuase,. .of the pressure of Barbarian Tribes on the frontiers of the Empire, an unsettled period ensued. The Anglo-Saxons and later the Danes invaded England and struggled for control. N-0 records concerning Harrington are available for this unsettled period of over six hundred years. In 1066 William the Conqueror of No'rmandy invaded England. He and his immediate successors gradually subdued and united the 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 a eminence over­ looking the Town. it seems apparent that a place of worship was located on the spot from earliest Roman timeso 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 in­ side the main doorwayo During the building of this part of the Town a Roman Cross was unearthed. It is now on display in the Museum at New­ castle, County Durham, England. The square Norman tower of the church is undoubtedly a part of the original structure and probably dates back to the twelfth centuryo Other parts of the building have been restored in 1885 and 19050 The church bell, which can be heard a full mile ·away, bears the date 1670. 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 are available since 1535 when Alfred Cowerson is recorded as Rector.

To her I owe all that I am and all that I aspire to be. It was she who bore the burden of a large family, suffered when we were hurt, comforted us in our disappointments, deprived herself so we might have more, and saw her hopes and dreams come true when her children fulfilled her fondest hopes.

Hell, it's too far away from anywhere to ever amount to anything!” Little did this man of money expect that the giant white pine of that virgin land would go into the building of most of the homes of his native Chicago and other thriving young cities of the middle west.

  • National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet
    NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Property name Minute Man National Historical Park Section number 7 Page 1 SUMMARY Minute Man National Historical Park (NHP) was created by an act of Congress on September 21, 1959 for the purpose of preserving the Lexington and Concord Battlefield and its contributing resources “in the public interest as prime examples of the Nation’s historical heritage” (Public Law 86-321). Since that time, the primary mission of the park has been to approximate the cultural environment that existed in 1775 and preserve and interpret individual resources that contribute to understanding the events of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. As part of this mission, the National Park Service has removed more than 200 nineteenth and twentieth century buildings and structures in an attempt to recreate the open, agricultural appearance that the area had at the time of the battle. The three units of Minute Man NHP — North Bridge, Wayside, and Battle Road — were administratively listed in the National Register of Historic Places as National Historic Landmark districts in 1966, but no list of contributing and non-contributing resources within the park was included. The goals of this documentation are to define all the National Register areas of significance and criteria under which the park is eligible for listing and to provide an accurate accounting of contributing and non-contributing resources that will aid in the subsequent management of the park. The three discontiguous units of Minute Man NHP comprise an area of approximately 967 acres of land in the towns of Concord, Lincoln, and Lexington.
