| Notes |
- From "Early Generations of the Family of Robert Harrington of Watertown, MA" Frederick Lewis Weis 1958:
"Robert Harrington, born probably in England about 1616, died at Watertown, MA, 17 May 1707, aged 91 years, having come to New England in the ship "Elizabeth," 10 April 1634. He married at Watertown, 1 Oct. 1647, Susan George, b. about 1632, died at Watertown, 6 July 1694, the daughter of John George of that town.
He took the oath of fidelity, 1652, and was admitted a freeman of the Mass. Bay Colony, 27 May 1663, at which time he was undoubtedly a member of the First Church in Watertown. He was a proprietor of Watertown as early as 1642, and owned a homestall, "given himby Deacon Thomas Hastings" a kinsman or a generous patron. He was a member of Captain Hugh Mason's Watertown Train Band, 1652, the captain havong been comissioned 5 May 1652; and Mr. Harrington served as Selectman of Watertown [15 of the years from 1679-1700]. Evidently he was a man of ability and highly respected by his fellow townsmen to be chosen so often for this important and responsible office. He was a mill owner and miller..."
Not proved, but highly likely that he was the Robert Herrington christened at Southwold in 1616.
