H > Harrington > John Harrington
— son of Benjamin-1 and Elizabeth (White) Hearnden. — husband of Sarah. — also also known as Harrington, Herrington, etc.
Ruth Story Devereux Eddy (of Providence, Rhode Island), The Ancestry and Descendants of John Hearndon of Scituate, R.I. [Rhode Island] together with a Supplement including some of the descendants of his brothers Benjamin, Joseph, William and Thomas (typescript, 1944); online at:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH9-F929-D
Eddy provides an account of Isaac-2, beginning at page 45:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH9-F9KL-7
Unfortunately, Eddy introduced multiple significant errors in her account, with respect to the will of “Isaac Herington” and identifying his children. Refer instead to an image of Isaac’s will, with itemized bequests for the following heirs, evidently grouped by gender and generation, in the following order:
Sons: Isaac, Silvanus, James. Daughters: Jemima Bennet, Mary Bennet, Prudance Herington Granddaughter: Unis Bennet, dau of “my Daughter Sarah dec’d [deceased]”
Image of will:

No evidence has been found to support claims that Isaac had sons named John or Solomon.
John and Stephen Herenden were the sons of John Harrington and Lydia (Cranston) Harrington because Isaac Harrington (abt.1668-1728) did not have a son named Stephen Herenden.
It is clear that Nathaniel Harrington, Obediah Harrington, John Harrington, Amey Harrington, Catherine Harrington, James Harrington and Jemima Harrington are the children of John (Harrington) Herenden (1700-1744) and Mary (Jenkes) Harrington.
Can you detach all the children and attach them to John (Harrington) Herenden (1700-1744) and Mary (Jenkes) Harrington?
