Book Description

Family history of Harry Vern Addington (1893-1930), son of Joseph Leander and Dora Elizabeth (Feagans) Addington, who was born in White River Twp., Randolph Co., Indiana. He married Alma Marguerite Chalfant (1905-1979) in 1922. The Addington and Feagans families were of English or Irish origin. Both families were very early settlers in Randolph County. The Addingtons arrived there about 1835 and the Feagans about 1838. The patriarch of this family, Henry Addington, was probably born in London in 1720, and immigrated to North America ca. 1740. He lived in Loudoun Co., Virginia in 1765, and moved his family between 1768 and 1774 to Union Co., South Carolina, where he received a land grant in 1774. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Idaho, Utah, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, Oregon, California and elsewhere.
