Author: Harold Burton Crapo, Jr
Edward Harrington, III (1758 - 1832) Private, Captain Samuel Barnard's Company, Colonel Thomas Gardener's Regiment, Middlesex (MA) Militia

Patriot Edward Harrington, III was born to Edward Harrington, Jr. and Anna Lawrence Harrington on May 20, 1758 in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. His grandfather father was a supporter of the patriot cause and his father was a Captain who would die at Ticonderoga in 1776. On October 15, 1778, Edward III married Susannah Wellington at Waltham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Their children would include Jacob, Phineas, and Edward..

Edward Harrington, III first served in the patriot cause as a private in Captain Samuel Barnard's Company, Colonel Thomas Gardener's Regiment in answering the alarm for Lexington and Concord. His father Edward Harrington, Jr. served as an Ensign in the same unit on the same march. Edward III then appears in the rolls for Captain Abner Craft's Company, Lieutenant Colonel William Bond's (late Colonel Gardener) Regiment from October 3rd through November 13, 1775. There is a receipt dated October 7th, 1775 showing an order for a bounty coat or the equivalent in money.

Edward Harrington, III outlived his wife Susannah by 30 years. He went on to his final reward on February 9, 1832 in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. His final resting place is thought to be in Forrest Cemetery in Noerth Acton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts but no marker remains to prove this.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
