Here is the information from the Harrington Family Gazeteer. This 882-page book was compiled by George H. Harrington in 1941
While the gazeteer was known to have mistakes, I would like to know how they made a connection between William b. 1772 and Samuel O Harnden. I believe that the William mentioned here later married a Lydia or Maria and lived in Broadalbin c. 1810-1830. He later moved to Ontario, Canada around 1841. If this book was written in 1941 someone from the Harnden's or Herrington's knew something we don't.
