Hi BD,
I descend from John E. Carrington (son of Ephraim) born 1797 Orange Co NC (wife Polly
Ashley) who moved to TN with the Carrington/Cozart cousins and siblings. He is a cousin of
your William Davis Carrington. John was in Carroll Co TN 1830 and Henderson 1840.
I found a Texas land entry dated 21 Aug 1856 in Bell Co TX west of today's Leon Co
(boundaries changed) for John Carrington "dec'd" and the patentee went to
his heirs, listed as Mrs. John Carrington.I can't find a John in the 1850 census in TX
or elsewhere that would fit.
In 1881 Bell Co TX, a D.H. Carrington married Miss NJ Simons and a J.E. Carrington married
Miss C.A. Whitley.
In 1880 Leon Co TX, Wiley H.D. Carrington 23 born NC is living along with others.
Any hints on these Carringtons?
Thanks, Gary
