Message Board Post:
Fred,
I am assuming you have not rec'd the personal messages I've sent you in rsponce to
the one you sent me. The other day I wrote to let you know I had found something
interesting for you, but had not heard back & from your message, well, I guess you
didn't get mine.
From the Texas GenWeb page I followed a link to the Texas State
Archives
site which has images in PDF of some of the Republic claims.
http://www2.tsl.state.tx.us/trail/RepublicSearch.jsp
I got hits by searching Carrico & Carricos. The hit under CARRICOS contains an image
of a document which states in part "Said Matthew G. Carrico was born in SPENCER
COUNTY state of Kentucky......" Among some of the other
documents for Matthew it states repeatedly that he was "twenty seven years of
age", all being dated 1836 or 1837, so abt. 1809 or 1810.
We need to be looking amongest the descendants of Thomas Ignatius Carrico who were in
Shelby & Spencer Counties during the time period your ancestor was born!
Hope this helps?
Linda Boorom
