John,
Please look at the Monongalia Tax lists that I put online this morning as submitted by Roy
Lockhart.
I also uploaded the marriage record of James Carrico to "Nacy" Holbert in
Monongalia Co. in 1815.
Roy has also sent some deed records which mention both Peter & John Carrico together.
These are 11 x
14 copies and my scanner bed is only 8 x 11. Will need to have reduced copies made in
order to scan.
I also mentioned this morning wanting to get some information online this afternoon from
ancestry's
"U.S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914". there are 2 entries of
interst. The first I wrote
you back in the fall of the enlistment of Joseph Carrico in 1814 which states he was born
in Charles
Co., MD. The 2nd which I just this morning looked at closer is an enlistment in 1847 for a
Joseph
Carrico b. in Preston Co. VA, I believe age 33. I realized this morning that it states he
enlisted
in I think Galena ILL!!!! Ring any bells to you???
At the moment, ya'll will have to forgive me. I'm in a bit of shock with news this
afternoon that a
murder suicide of a mother daughter which occured here in the Cincinnati area on Thursday
afternoon
involved my 75 yr old next door neighbor who was the mother murdered by her daughter at
her
daughters home. I still can't quite beleive it.
I'll try to work on some more, but understand if I don't get to anymore today.
Linda

Subject: [CARRICO] John Conley Carrico
Carrico Researchers,
I have followed this latest discussion regarding the confusing Carrico line with great
interest. My
question to you all is this: "Has anyone ever found evidence leading to the identity
of the parents
of John Conley Carrrico?" I hesitate to even list the various possibilities for fear
of
contaminating any response you may give, but I would like to know your thoughts. I have
had several
"suggestions" over the past fifty years.
My great great grandfather, John Conley Carrico, was supposedly born in what is today
known as
Rowlesburg, Preston County, West Virginia, August 8, 1779, and died in Greene County,
Illinois,
November 10, 1862. The various census records indicate John Conley Carrico was born in
Maryland.
John Conley Carrico married Elizabeth Halbert, ca. 1798, possibly in Athens County, Ohio,
but more
likely in Maryland. Elizabeth Halbert was born in Maryland, October 25, 1778, and died
September 9,
1862. John Conley Carrico is buried in Richwoods West Cemetery in Bluffdale Twp, Greene
County, as
is Elizabeth.
John and Elizabeth had at least eight children, that being the number listed in family
records.
Known children include:
Henry Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born ca. 1808,
in
Virginia, married Sarah S. Elkenton, February 19, 1831, in Greene County, Illinois.
Reuben Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born ca. 1809,
in
Virginia. Reuben Carrico is in the 1840 Greene County, Illinois Census, Carrollton
Precinct, pg 85.
This name is sometimes spelled Reubin Carrico.
Alexander Carrico, [my great grandfather] the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth
Halbert,
was born April 8, 1816, in Canaan Township, Athens, Athens County, Ohio, and married
Cassandra
Margaret Smith, September, 15, 1864, in Macoupin County, Illinois. It is not known that he
was
married prior to this or not, but it is suspected.
According to the Carlinville Democrat for Thursday, September 10, 1874, "Mr..
Alexander Carrico, who
lived three miles east of town, after returning home from town Friday evening in getting
out of his
buggy stumbled over a can and fell to the ground striking on his head and breaking his
spinal
column.. He died in a few hours. He was born in 1816."
Because of the poor record keeping in the early years, and due to the proliferation of the
Carrico
name, I have dozens of references to the name, but no solid evidence at this time. We are
still
looking for some information which will be somewhat definitive. It would be of great
assistance if
we could find a will for John Conley Carrico, or one that mentioned him. The letter from
Samuel T.
Carrico about John Conley Carrico was a great help. It sort of illustrates the idea that
information
will come to those who search. I had been looking for many years when that document came
into my
possession.
Silas Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born April 18,
1818, in
Athens County, Ohio, went to Greene County, Illinois, in 1828, married Catherine Decker,
January 19,
1840, and had Samuel Truitt Carrico. Silas Carrico died May 5, 1905, in Alva, Wood County,
Oklahoma.
Catherine Decker Carrico was born May 4, 1821, in Ohio, died July 23, 1900, Greene County,
Illinois,
and was buried in City cemetery.
Caroline Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born between
1810 and
1820, Athens County, Ohio.
John Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born ca. 1812,
in Athens
County, Ohio, married -?-, had a boy, born ca. 1836, Catherine Carrico, born ca. 1838,
Caroline
Carrico, born ca. 1840.
Elisha Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born ca. 1815,
in Athens
County, Ohio, married Catherine H. Shipman, June 8, 1837, in Greene County, Illinois.
Another record
indicated that Elisha Carrico married Julia Gone on November 16, 1837. It is possible that
these are
different people, but I have no reason to believe they are not the same person.
Malinda Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born ca. 1810
to 1820,
in Athens County, Ohio.
Henrietta Carrico, the child of John Conley Carrico and Elizabeth Halbert, was born ca.
1821, in
Athens Country, Ohio. We have no evidence to add this female name to the family of John
Conley
Carrico other than the fact that she appears in a list of the other children. We are still
missing
the name of the eighth boy in this family.
