Charles was a first cousin (on his mother's side) of Winifred Whitmel, wife of the famous Patriot militia leader of Revolutionary War and Battle of the "House In the Horseshoe" fame, Colonel Phillip Alston. who owned the 2500 acre plantation where the battle took place.
Res - from "Chatham Co 1771-1971", p 357
A very early settler in the Pittsboro area was Charles Harrington (1720-1773), who patented a great deal of land in and around the town. He was a regulator and died from wounds received at the battle of Almance. His wife, Agnes, was cleared of an indictment for sheltering a regulator. Their son, Sion, was twice captured by Tories during the revolution.
His wife, Elizabeth, with an infant in arms, rode horseback the 80 miles to Elizabethtown to plead successfully for his release. (Sion was the great-grandfather of Charles McIver, the first President of the University of N.C. at Greensboro. Philemon, a colonel in the Light Horse had many encounters with the infamous Tory, David Fanning. Another son, Whitmel also had many encounters with him.
