In reply to:
John A. Harrington, b. ca. 1856, Mass.
Jacqueline Harrington 2/07/00
Followup: Probable parents were Timothy and Margaret Harrington found in Boston 1860 Census with children:
Catherine born 1854 (probably March)
John born 1856
Margaret 1857
Margaret Harrington (age 32) found in Philadelphia 1870 Census with children:
Kate (age 17)
John (age 14)
Margaret (age 12)
Timothy (age 10)
William (age 4)
Mary (age 2)
Catherine married John Shellem and was found in Philadelphia 1880 Census with her children and siblings William and Mary.
Would like to correspond with anyone having any information about this family. Have been looking for them for years. Just made this break-through. John Harrington married Anna McLaughlin and died in 1895. Apparently, the family lost contact with the other Harrington families since my husband's family does not know any who are not direct descendants of John.
