"Robert did not arrive in Boston until 1634. He may have remained with his grandmother, Mary Rogers Harington, whose death occurred in that year. He settled in Watertown, Mass., married Sarah George and had a family of ten boys and three girls.
One recent genealogy questions whether Robert was a son of John and Ann. However, there is a family tradition that 3 brothers came to Boston. The descendants of Robert and Benjamin called each other cousins in the earlier generations.
Capt. Henry Harrington of Exeter, RHode Island, and later of White Creek, New York, always claimed that Jonathan Harrington, who was killed in the Battle of Lexington, was his cousin. This Jonathan Harrington was definitely a descendant of Robert of Watertown while Captain Henry was a descendant of Benjamin of Rhode Island."
