There is NO evidence connecting him to Benjamin Herendeen or Harrington of Providence or to the John Harrington who drowned in Boston Harbor about 1630 (1,2) as is sometimes claimed (3,4), although there are hearsay claims that several generations of descendants of Robert and Benjamin sometimes thought of themselves as cousins (5). He arrived in the ship "Elizabeth" on 4/10/1634, and was in Watertown by 10/1/1647 when he married. On 12/24/1684 he bought 250 acres of what is called the Oldham farm where his descendants lived for nearly 200 years (2). Sources: 1. Harrington Family Research Bulletin, Vol. 1, #4, p.41. 2.
