FYI...Jane Carrigan is not living next door to Nancy Carrigan in the 1850 census. She is
in the household of Shadrack Loftin, presumed to be her son in law. See Maury Co., TN,
Dist. 24, p. 264 for Jane Carrigan; Dist. 24, p. 282 for Nancy Carrigan and
household...this is next door to a Calvin Carrigan and family...
You mention the Rev. War Pension application of Jane Sample Carrigan...one of the
affidavits contained in this document does indicate that the home of James & Jane
Carrigan was burned to the ground. However, it indicates that this occurred during the
lifetime of James Carrigan. As this same document indicates that James Carrigan died 10
Oct, 1830, your information regarding the 1840 date is troublesome. In addition, the
affidavit does not indicate that the home in question was in Orange Co.,NC. Do you have a
source on this?
