Apr 1748...Thomas HARRINGTON (T) (SEAL), Wit: Jos. TOOPS, John PHILLIPS,
Chas. ROBINSON Junr.
NOTE: Apparently this was Thomas, son of Thomas and Mary Whitmel Harrington,
who married Hannah Haynie. To have sold land in North Carolina in
July 1751 he would have had to be 19 years old or older.* * And, according
to the Register Book of Parish Prince Frederick Winyah, SC his first
child, daughter Mary was born in 1736, and presumably he was at least
19 by then, so I have calculated his birth circa 1717.
1761...William Holton to Charles SMITH for 11 pounds 100 acres on northeast side of PeeDee
on big creek.

North Carolina Genealogical Society Journal Vol I, No 2 April 1975
"Early Settlers in Neuse River Country, 1700-1720" by Charles R. Holloman
Page 50
The term "Neuse River Country" refers to the lands lying in the drainage basin of the
Neuse River and all of it's tributary streams. These land and the lands in the drainage
basin of the Tar River (known in its lower reaches as the Pamlico River) comprised the
historic domain of the Tuscarora Indian Nation, a confederation of a number of
powerful tribes of Iroquois origin.
In the coastal region of Carolina natural landmarks other than streams, water bodies,
and their shorelines are extremely rare. Consequently, the Tuscaroras defined the
territory of the nation and each tribe by reference to the waters that served it.
The original Craven Precinct was defined by this Indian Custom. The Neuse River below
present New Bern (site of the former Indian town Chattuaka) belong to the Neusiok
tribe. Above the confluence of Trent River and Neuse at New Bern, the Neuse became
Chattukena. Contentnea Creek was the River of the Catte tribe. Torquena was the
River of the Tor, who shared its lower reaches with the Pampticoe tribe. That is
the origin of the names Tar River and Pamlico.
Archdale Precinct of Bath County was created in 1705. Its name was changed to Craven
Precinct in 1711 when old Craven County of Carolina was thrown into South Carolina
by the divorce that totally separated the two Carolinas.
Settlers arrived at the site of New Bern in July 1710 and founded the town of New
Bern at that time. Some fifteen months later, much of the town was burned when
the Tuscarora War began.

I have no idea how reliable the group data is, as I found the
family group record in an internet database and then supplemented
it with marriage records and other info but the spousal data is in
conflict with Barbara Parsons data which shows Sarah Shipman as the
wife of Thomas HARRINGTON b. 1741 son of Thomas b. c1716 son of
Thomas and Mary Whitmel HARRINGTON. The above Thomas is shown
to be the son of William b. 1725 (wife unknown), (brother of
Thomas b. c1716) who had another son Charles who was born 1745
and lived in Tryon Co, NC, and died 1796 in Sumner Co, Tennessee.
Can anyone sort out the Sarah SHIPMAN thing, which one she was
married to??? My information is that Sarah SHIPMAN was the daughter
of Daniel SHIPMAN. I found a bunch of SHIPMAN descendants with a
son named Daniel in 1850 Ripley Co, Missouri, where some of the
descendants of the Hickman Co, Tenn Harringtons were living in the
1870's. Coincidence? I don't know. Hoping that someone will have
the answers to this family group. If the above data is generally
reliable, this Sarah (Shipman?) HARRINGTON would have been widowed
in 1790 with young children to raise. The above Deed Records of
Rutherford Co, NC show a Sarah HARRINGTON deeding land to Mark
DEDMAN in 1799. Sons Charles & Jacob would have been 21+ by that
time. And indeed we see 4 of these sons-Charles, William, Jacob,
and Thomas--deeding land to Willis Weathers in 1821, but apparently
not residents of NC at the time. Perhaps the land was sold as part
of an estate settlement, as Sarah would have been quite old by
then and possibly died. ???
