Person talk:Samuel Harrington (4)


Death date [8 December 2015]

I removed unsourced death date of 1712 in Watertown. This is undoubtedly based on the gravestone listed in Watertown Records Vol. 2, p. 132 listing Samuel Harrington d. 1712, but Find A Grave: Find A Grave, shows this gravestone naming the parents as Robert and Anna (not Robert and Susanna), and giving the age as 9 weeks, so not the same person (listed in Lexington VRs). Bond, p. 275, gives no death date for Samuel (#11 and #46 in Bond, the gravestone belongs to #29). Source:Weis, Frederick Lewis. Early Generations of the Family of Robert Harrington of Watertown, Massachusetts, 1634, and Some of His Descendants, p. 20, says he was a selectman of Watertown "1713 to 1728 inclusive", which implies he lived well past 1712. --Jrich 03:50, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
