Message Board Post:
The military records that I referred to are available on
Footnote.com. There is a record
of his transfer to the 6th MS Cavalry and promotion to 1st Lieutenant. There are quite a
few records and he is generally referred to as William D. Carrington. (There are also
records on his brother Luther Fairbanks Carrington.
Also, on
findagrave.com there is a tombstone photo in Friendship Cemetery, Columbus,
Lowndes County, MS (memorial # 13093753). It is a military marker and does not give birth
or death dates, just his rank and unit. It's listed under W. D. Carrington.
I haven't found any information on a William Carrington that was killed at Shiloh.
I also haven't found any records of either William Davis Carrington or his brother
Luther Fairbanks Carrington after the Civil War.
