I have not connected all parts, please help if you can.
In 1807 John Carrington died in York District, SC. Hillary Montgomery and Sarah/Sallie
Carrington applied for letters of administration and received them. It appears there were
6 heirs, one being the widow. The estate is not completely settled until 1822. There was a
son William who himself dies ca 1811 before the estate is settled. William's son James
inherits William's portion. Also heirs of John were Ann married to James Wishes and
Mary married to John Wallace. Possibly there was a Rebecca Carrington and I do not know,
but would think Hilary Montgomery is related somehow.
James Carrington is specifically stated as receiving a share of John Carrington's
estate as an heir of william Carrington who was an heir of John Carrington. In 1811
Hillary and Benjamin Montgomery file for and receive letters of guardianship for James
Carrington, minor.
