Sir John de Haverington or Harington of Aldingham, 1st Lord (b c1281, d 02.07.1347)

Sir John's wife is named in TCP (Harington) as Joan, in BE1883 (Harington) as Margaret (daughter of Sir Richard Barlingham), and by BP1934 (Harington) as Juliana (daughter of Sir Richard Barlingham). 'The Harington Family' book and also www.geneajourney.com/hrngton.html suggest that she was Joan, daughter of Sir William de Dacre who was Sir John's guardian for about 5 years after his father died. Noting that the issue is not certain, we provisionally follow BP1934 in naming her as ...

The following connection is taken from 'The Harington Family' book and www.geneajourney.com/hrngton.html but no mention is made of Sir John in any of the other sources identified below although TCP (Harington) does recognise that Sir William of Hornby was a kinsman of the above William, 5th Lord Harington. BE1883 specifically states that Sir Robert, shown above as elder brother of the following Sir John, was an only son. Confusion over the name of Sir John's son also gives rise to concern that something here may not be right. Note that the Hornby Castle held by this family was in Lancashire whilst the Hornby Castle held by the Conyers family (see 'Conyers01') was in Yorkshire.

(B)

Sir John Harington of Farleton (d 1359)

m1. Katherine Sherburne name found on www.smokykin.com, confirmed in Sherburne family book

m2. Katharine Banastre (dau of Sir Adam Banastre of Farleton)

(i)

Sir John (or Nicholas or Robert) Harington of Farleton (b 1345, d 1403)

Both 'The Harington Family' book and the geneajourney web site name this John as Sir Nicholas of Farleton. A site visitor (TG, 06.10.04) reports that 'History of Parliament' suggests that the progenitor of successive generations was Nicholas who had 2 elder brothers who dsp, John and Thomas. See the notes below under his second daughter Isabel.

m. (c1363) Isabella English (dau of Sir William English)

(a)

Sir William Harington of Farleton & Hornby (b c1365, d 1440)

m. Margaret Neville (dau of Sir Robert Neville of Hornby)

TCP (Harington) notes that "there has naturally arisen some confusion between (William, 5th Lord Harington) and his kinsman Sir William Harington, of Hornby, Lancs." His wife's identity is given in 'The Harington Family' book.

Sir Thomas Harington of Hornby (d Wakefield 1460)

m. Elizabeth (dau of Lord Moulton)

This Sir Thomas is not mentioned by the geneajourney web site which ends with his apparent sisters, Isabel and Agnes. However, TCP (Monteagle) contains a note about the father of the undermentioned Anne, wife of Sir Edward Stanley, saying "This Sir John, a Yorkist, and his father Sir Thomas, who was attainted in 1459, were both slain at the battle of Wakefield in 1460." Confirmation that he fits here is found in 'The Harington Family' book.

Sir John Harington of Hornby Castle (d Wakefield 1460)

m. Maud Clifford (dau of Thomas de Clifford, 8th Lord)

((i))

Anne Harington (b c1455, dsp 05.08.1489)

m. Sir Edward Stanley of Hornby Castle, 1st Lord Monteagle (d 06/7.04.1523)

TCP (Monteagle) describes Anne as coheir of her father. TCP (Stanley) quotes Dugdale as reporting that Elizabeth "said to be da. and coh. of Sir John Harrington of Hornby Castle", and then relict of Sir John Stanley, was in 1503 subject of a licence to marry Richard Beaumont. Whilst this was noted under reference to the Sir John Stanley (d 1437) who is shown below as having married Isabel (or Elizabeth) Harington, the dates suggest strongly that they were of a different generation, probably fitting here.

Sir Richard Harington or Harrington of Westlegh

The following came from The Chetham Society's 'A History of the Chantries within the County Palatine of Lancaster' (edited by Rev. Raines, 1862, p 126-8, available on Google Books) with thanks to a site visitor (DS, 29.01.08) for bringing this to our attention.

m. (before 1392) Sir Thomas Tunstall of Thurland Castle (d 1415)

(e)

Isabel (or Elizabeth) Harington (b c1386)

m. Sir John Stanley, Sheriff of Anglesey (d 27.11.1437)

Sir John Stanley's wife, mother of the 1st Lord Stanley who was father of the 1st Earl of Derby, is identified in various sources as follows:
- TCP (Stanley) : "Isabel, da. of Sir John and sister of Sir William de Haryington"
- BP1934 (Stanley) : "Isabel (or Elizabeth), dau. of Sir Robert, and sister and heir of Sir William Harrington, knt. of Hornby".
- BE1883 (Stanley) : "Isabel, sister of Sir William Harrington, Knt., of Hornby".
The geneajourney web site confirms, as if it were a recent discovery, that she was "not, as previously thought, a daughter of Sir Robert Harington and Isabel Loring" (see above). The site also makes it clear that the two sisters, who were possibly half-sisters, were both called Isabel. The suggestion that this one may have been called Elizabeth may have arisen because, as shown above, there appears to have been a later Elizabeth, daughter of the last Sir John Harington of Hornby Castle, who also married someone called Sir John Stanley.

(f)

Katharine Harington

Katharine is mentioned only by 'The Harington Family' book and is the only daughter of this generation mentioned by that book. BLG1952 (Hudleston) suggests that her father was Sir Nicholas.

m. Sir Richard Hudleston
