Notes for Robert Barrington
From Mark Noble's "Memoirs of the persons and families who by females are allied to or descended from the protectorate-House of Cromwell" pub in 1784:
"He was one of the representatives for the borough of Newton, in the parlement called in the third year of king Charles I's reign. He was much caressed and trusted by the long parlement, and by his cousin, the protector Oliver: he settled at Hatfield Braod-Oak, in the county of Essex, and married Dorothy, daughter of sir John Edon, of Sudbury, in Suffolk, knt. and widow of ------- Barrat, by whom he had several children : his male descendants were long seated at Lacelly's, in Staple Bumsted, in Essex : the last of the name was Joan Barrington, married to mr. Gyles, of the fix-clerks office."
Clayton in his history of the Barrington family says of Newtown, IOW: "of which borough the principal part belonged to the Barrington family, and where their interest at elections was paramount."
