Biography
Phineas Harrington was born on January 30, 1746, in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts [1]. Phineas was the son of Edward Harrington and Anna Bullard.
Phineas Harrington died 29 Jan 1785, intestate and insolvent. His probate lingered unsettled for over 50 years, with creditors (many of whom were relatives or in-laws) finally receiving, in 1839, 40 cents on the dollar from the proceeds of the sale of 7 acres of land originally part of the widow's dower.[2]
