Provenance
Inscription, in pencil, at head of page 1: "This - Miss Harington 2d part". The identity of Miss Harington is not certainly known. It is possible that she was a sister of the Revd. Edward Charles Harington (ca. 1804-1881). The Revd. Joseph Corfe (1805-1878) was appointed Priest Vicar of Exeter Cathedral in 1836; he remained at Exeter Cathedral until his death. His sisters, Anne Corfe, later, Angel (1812-1870) and Mary Ann Corfe were both residing in Exeter at the home of their brother in 1841. Joseph Corfe (1805-1878) was a student at Oxford during the 1820s at much the same time as Edward Charles Harington. E. C. Harington was ordained priest in 1829 by the Bishop of Exeter and in 1845 E. C. Harington was collated as a Prebendary of Exeter Cathedral; in 1847 he was made Chancellor of Exeter Cathedral. Miss Harington may be one of E. C. Harington's sisters, two of whom, namely, Frances Hatton Harington, later, Holroyd (1801-1874), and, Ann Elizabeth Harington (ca. 1803-1870), were living at their brother's home in 1841, in fact, both sisters lived in Exeter for most of their adult lives.
