"The Burrington family in America dates from the year 1671, when the name of William Burrington, the immigrant ancestor and progenitor, appears for the first time on the records of the town of Portsmouth, in the Rhode Island Colony. It has been continuous in Rhode Island since that date, and though
numerically small, it has played a prominent part in the life and affairs of the town of Portsmouth. The line herein under consideration is that of the late Henry Hudson Burrington, of Providence, a member of the early Portsmouth family, and a prominent druggist in the middle of the past century
(I) William Burrington, immigrant ancestor and founder, was born in 1637. He settled in Portsmouth, R. I., where in 1671 he was admitted a freeman. On February 21, 1673, he bought of Henry Lake, of Dartmouth, two acres in Portsmouth, and on June 14, 1697, he bought of William Durfee and his wife,
Ann, ten acres. Little beyond these facts is known of his life. It is
evident, however, that he was a man of some position in the community, for his daughters married Brown, Lawton and Robinson families. William Burrington married Jane ------ , who died in 1725. He died December 3, 1729, and his will, dated March 12, 1725, was proved December 8, following
his death.
