Sir John Harington was the son of Sir Nicolas Harington and his wife, Isabel English, daughter of Sir William English. Sir John married Ellen Urswick, daughter of Thomas Urswick, Esq. of Urwick. Their son was Sir Richard Harington who married Elizabeth Bradshagh.
The entire line of the Urswick family is hard to trace, and many different sources have different Urswick family members in this line. I orginally followed the Records of the Family Urswyk, Urswick, or Urwick, by Thomas A. Urswich, which is a mess and likely incorrect in many places. I am searching through the Victoria County History on British History Online hoping for a more acurate line.
