James Harrington m. Coons, & cousin to Abraham
I'm descended from, and desiring to know the ancestry of, James Harrington, who was born March 15, 1751, and died in Half Moon, Saratoga Co, NY April 19, 1828.He married Christina Coons in Bethlehem, Albany Co, Ny in 1757.Her sister, Mary Coons married Abraham Harrington, probably cousin to James Harrington. James Harrington lived in Sandlake, Renselaer Co, NY.
His children, by Christina Coons, were Maria (Mary) who married John Hanson, Margaret (Peggy), who married Ambrose Hurd, John Tempenning, who married Catherine ?, a daughter, who married Arthur Bennett, but most of all Hannah, who married George Beadle, from whom I am descended.
I've noticed from source on internet, that John Tempenning Harrington had a child named Jenks (Jenckes?), which makes me wonder if he's somehow descended from one of Jonathan Harrington's (& Sarah Foster's)sons (not the one that married a Jenkes, but I believe John's aunt or great aunt was a Jenckes.Also, I believe one of the children of George Beadle and Hannah Harrington was named Foster (I'm descended from his sister, Almira, who married Josiah Wilder).
I hope someone might know who the parents of this James Harrington were.I'm sure the line would lead back to Benjamin Herendeen, but I just don't know how, and, of course too, if Jonathan and Sarah (Foster) Harrington were his grandparents, there is descendancy from English Royalty.
Please, help.Thanks - Andrew
