Abigail Harrington

(14 Dec 1718 - 5 May 1761)



Vital records: Abigial Harrington was born 14 Dec 1718, christened on 21 Dec 1718, Lexington, Middlesex, MA. Her parents were John and Elizabeth Harrington.

There is a marriage record in Lexington, for a John Petts of Townsend to Abigail Harrington of Lexingtion, 1 Marcy 1737/8. She could not have been the mother of his children all born prior to 1727. This is obviously the young John.

A pdf book found online shows a grave that appears to be that of the younger Abigail - see also the notes for young John.
