Family legends are wonderful things, but seldom live up to their colorful stories.
William Perry Carrington was the 7th child (and 5th son) of Henson T. Carrington, Sr., and
Mary H. "Polly" Whitaker. He was born on his family's home place in Madison
County, Georgia 20 Dec 1819. Given the primitive living conditions of that era, the
"home place" could very well have been built much like a log fort. So far as I
have been able to determine, both the CARRINGTON and the WHITAKER families were of English
extraction, and both families had been in the USA for 1 or more generations before
migrating to Georgia after the Rev War and before 1800.
