Middlesex County did not exist in 1630 in the state of Massachusetts. It was not founded until 1643.
Was John or James who went to America in "Prosperous"? Was his wife Joan Jentilman or Anne Clinton? There is supporting evidence for both suppositions. Is possible that Joan Jentilman married both Robert and John Harrington, creating a confusion. American Genealogist V.20, 1944 p.46-47 :"Family of Earl of Lincoln, the alledged Connection" states that "Ann Clinton died Young and is incorrectly stated to have married John Harrington". It also states that the family of the Earl of Lincoln left no known descendants here. "Robert Harrington of Watertown, MA." by Frederick Lewis Weis states that "There was a Robert Harrington Bap 1 Oct 1616, son of Robert who had married on 7 Mar 1613, Joan Jentilman (bap. 5 Jul 1603), daughter of William and Agnes Jentilman. Joan (Jentilman) Harrington m.2nd, 25 Jul 1622 to Rev. John Younges" This last marriages is also referred to in Torrey (p.846). Other says that John Harington, son of Sir John Harington and Mary Rogers, was born about 1584. He married Anne Clinton, daughter of the Earl of Lincoln, an influential Puritan who was very active in aiding that Sect in settling Boston after 1628. Anne was born in Newcastle, England, in 1596, one of a family of seventeen children. John and Anne came to Boston in 1630. He was drowned in the harbor soon after their arrival, leaving Anne a widow with four children, all of whom were born in England.
James married Anne Clinton Fiennes [58860] [MRIN: 551616013], daughter of Thomas Clinton Fiennes 3rd Earl Lincoln [42727] and Elizabeth Knyvett Countess Lincoln [42726], in 1615 in England. (Anne Clinton Fiennes [58860] was born in 1595 in Newcastle, Upon Tyne, Northumberland, England, died on 25 Dec 1632 in Charlestown, Middlesex, Massachusetts and was buried in Dec 1653 in Burying Ground, Cambridge, Middlesex, MA.)
