      Middlesex County did not exist in 1630 in the state of Massachusetts. It was not founded until 1643.


      Was «b»John«/b» or «b»James«/b» who went to America in "Prosperous"? Was his wife «b»Joan Jentilman«/b» or «b»Anne Clinton«/b»? There is supporting evidence for both suppositions. Is possible that «b»Joan Jentilman«/b» married both «b»Robert«/b» and «b»John Harrington«/b», creating a confusion. American Genealogist V.20, 1944 p.46-47 :"Family of Earl of Lincoln, the alledged Connection" states that "«i»Ann Clinton died Young and is incorrectly stated to have married John Harrington«/i»". It also states that the family of the «b»Earl of Lincoln«/b» left no known descendants here. "Robert Harrington of Watertown, MA." by «b»Frederick Lewis Weis«/b» states that "«i»There was a Robert Harrington Bap 1 Oct 1616, son of Robert who had married on 7 Mar 1613, Joan Jentilman (bap. 5 Jul 1603), daughter of William and Agnes Jentilman. Joan (Jentilman) Harrington m.2nd, 25 Jul 1622 to Rev. John Younges«/i»" This last marriages is also referred to in Torrey (p.846). Other says that «b»John Harington«/b», son of «b»Sir John Harington«/b» and «b»Mary Rogers«/b», was born about 1584. He married «b»Anne Clinton«/b», daughter of the «b»Earl of Lincoln«/b», an influential Puritan who was very active in aiding that Sect in settling Boston after 1628. «b»Anne«/b» was born in Newcastle, England, in 1596, one of a family of seventeen children. «b»John«/b» and «b»Anne«/b» came to Boston in 1630. He was drowned in the harbor soon after their arrival, leaving «b»Anne«/b» a widow with four children, all of whom were born in England.
