Mary was born in Rhode Island and lived a full century with the last eighty years of her life spent on Harrington Hill in Easton, NY. She told about early conditions there: when the family arrived on horseback she could see only five smokes from cabins hidden in the woods. She rode a horse to Coila, (near Cambridge) to go to church, and she rode to Schiedam (now part of the Village of Greenwich) to go to the mill. She carried a divided sack of corn to be ground on the back of the horse.

She married Richard Harrington in approximately 1783, and they were the parents of four children: Truman, Chloe, Richard Jr. and William.
