Answer 1

I saw your post and I thought I could help.  I went to FamilySearch.org and found this:  Harvey Herrington b. 1778   and Died 1858 Alabama Parents are :  John Harrington b. 1744 North Carolina.  Died 1792    Married Frances Burt Harrington B. 1734 Fayette Dist Union S.C. 

Parents of John Harrington are :  Charles Harrington Sr. B. 1725 N.C. and Agnes Hill Herrington b. 1727  Northhampton, N.C.   This is all I could find as far as information but there could be more. If you need any more then please let me know and I will try to help.  Nancy

My tree also includes Harvey Herrington born 1778 in Pitt Co., NC; married Elizabeth Granberr, born 1778 in Pitt Co., NC. Thanks for the info that His mother IS NOT Francis Burt; but who is his mother?  I found your reference tot the James Herrington Decendants Companion by Warren Burgess.  It matches perfectly with my family tree. I am trying to track ancestors back to Scotland. Have you found the parents of  James Herrington, born in Ulster in 1646.  I suspect his parents came from Scotland in early 1600s with the "Plantation" of Scots to Northern Ireland, but I don't know where to find info about his parents.   Do birth records exist in Ulster, Ireland which would list his parents?   Do you or Warren Burgess have any info about his ancestors or immigration info about Scotland? Any info or help would be appreciated.
