Notes for Sir Odinell Barrington 'Barenton the Saxon'
And in Betham's "Baronetage of England", 1801:
"The first we find mentioned in the pedigree, in Chauncey's Hertfordshire is, Sir Odynell Barrington or Barentone, as the name was anciently written, descended from Barrington, that served Queen Emme, wife of King Ethelred, father of Edward the Confessor; he was baron of Wegon; and incurred the common fate of his country, becoming subject to the Normans, which may be the reason that none of that name, either as chief lords or sub-tenants, in Essex, are mentioned in Doomesday Book; yet Selden finds Rudulfus de Barentone, to be sworn among others in the hundred of Trepeslau in Cambridgeshire, to take the conqueror's survey; and the town and parish of Barrington, near Cambridge, is said to take name from him."
