My name is Cortland V Carrington III, a descendent of Samuel via Thomas (1782) Asa (1818)
John Henry (1857) James Claude (1883) etal...
I am updating the genealogy of this Maryland branch of Carrington's. There were
several branches of this family. Samuel departed Maryland in about 1804-1808 (ish) He
passed in Kentucky.
Several children remained in Kentucky and there are still Carrington's remaining.
From Kentucky a large portion moved to Indiana, and one or more to Missouri. Descendants
of this line can still be found in Missouri and Indiana. From Indiana the family spread
into Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas (as of present research in
2013.
I am extending the two following books:
The Family of Samuel Carrington 1754-1966
The Indiana Carringtons, Descendent of Thomas Carrington 1782-1997
Technically, both books are unpublished family manuscripts. Although very accurate, both
books lack nearly all critical legal citations to census data, and other legal source
documents.
My goal is to complete my research by 2016, and actually publish this book with a Library
of Congress card number. The new book has one or more page for each Carrington, and is a
much easier to follow format! Each page is cited Chicago Manual Style to one or more
legal document(s) that establish proof of existence, and as much as possible family
relationship and other information. The book will also contain a grave site index, and
may include maps as well.
As of this time I've located several lost branches of the Carrington tree from Samuel
Carrington 1754. If you are related to this line of Carringtons feel free to contact me.
The more connections we can find, the better and more accurate the work will be.
If you are interested in the above two books, I have the first book in digital copy (abt
90 pages). I have a hard copy of the second book; however, I know for a fact that the
author (my cousin) is now out of copies of this work.
I believe that it is available in some libraries. Be advised that his second book is not
technically published, as it has no publishing information. It is a self-published family
manuscript, as such, it may be challenging to get copies. Because it is several hundred
pages and fully bound, it will be difficult to obtain.
I will talk to the author about obtaining electronic copies, there may be a cost for this
book.
Presently I am 110 pages into the updated work, "262 Years in The Family of Samuel
Carrington 1754-2016" If you are related to this family, please contact us. FYI the
year 2016 was chose because it is the 50th year after release of the 1966 work.
Cortland Carrington. Indiana Pioneer Family (1835-2013)
