    COMMENTS: No records for this couple [John Corrington and Mary Corrington] have been found in New England. John Carrington appeared in Wethersfield by 1644, with wife Joan [RPCC 26, 30, 45, 78, 92-93, 116; CCCR 1:107, 115, 145, 463-4]. John and Joan Carrington were accused of witchcraft, and were apparently executed in 1651. John Putnam Demos proposed that John Carrington of Wethersfield was identical with the passenger of 1635, his wife Mary having died and he having remarried to Joan [John Putnam Demos, Entertaining Satan: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England (New York, 1982), pp. 348-49], but give the gap of nine years without any records, we do not make this identification.
