APPENDIX C.
THE YARRINGTON FAMILY OF NEW ENGLAND.
Page 126
Peter Yarrington resided at Beverly, Mass., in July, 1696, with his wife
Abiah. No other Yarrington or Yerrington family has been found in New England
history prior to the Revolution.
There was an Anthony Yerrengton, in New York City in 1738 and presumably he
was the Anthony Yarington, of Poughkeepsie, who had sons Gale and Andrew, all
mentioned in the will of Andrew Gale, of Jamaica, L.I., in 1742.
The late Rev. Benjamin M. Yarrington, of Greenwih, Conn., had some records
of his family which stated that their emigrant ancestor was William
Yarrington, who came from Wales and settled near Boston, where he married
Alice Woodward, who was born in Amsterdam, Holland, probably of English
ancestors. The first part of this family history is based on tradition, but it
is evident that Peter Yarrington is the one referred to, and it is also in
error as to the Christian name of his wife. In the Beverly records her name is
given as Abiel, but the New London probate records give it as Abiah, while the
Coventry records give the name of her granddaughter as Abial. Her name may
have been copied as Alice from some record by mistake.
Peter and Abiah Yarrington had nine children, the first seven of which were
baptized at Beverly, Mass., and the last two at Preston, Conn. They probably
moved to Preston in 1706 and from there many years later to Stonington, where
he died. Presumably he died in 1725, as the inventory of his estate was dated
Oct. 5 of that year. His wife Abiah and son Ezekiel were appointed by the New
London Probate Court to administer his estate.
A suit against the estate by John Starkweather was carried up to the General
Court, which decided in favor of his administrators, in 1727. The Woodward
family of Preston may have been related to Mrs. Yarrington. On April 18, 1711,
the church at Preston received Daniel Woodward and wife by letter from
Cambridge, Mass., and in 1714 Hannah, wife of Amos Woodward.
