   "A settlement of the manors, &c., was made by Sir John de Harrington and Joan his wife in 1336; the remainders were to John and Robert sons of Robert de Harrington—so that this lastnamed Robert must then have been dead—and then to John, Thomas and Michael, sons of Sir John. (fn. 86) Lord Harrington, known as Sir John de Harrington the elder, died in possession in 1347, and he was succeeded by his grandson John son of Sir Robert, then nineteen years of age."
