Vickie; It could be possible that the Harrington girl was a granddaughter. It was pretty common during those days for the grandparents to take in a grandchild when the parents had died or divorced. (Still being done today also.) Have you been able to find a death record for any Harrington's in that vicinity? That might be a lead. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
