Hi Tom, yes, Nathaniel Carrington 1760-1830 was married to Anna Davis (not Nancy...was a
typo on my part). They were the uncle and aunt of my John E. Carrington born 1798 Orange
Co NC.
John E. Carrington born c1798 Orange Co NC(son of Ephraim Carrington and his first wife)
married Jenny Smith in 1816 then Polly Ashley in 1818 Orange NC. In 1820, his household
has 1 male 0-10 and 2 females 0-10. In 1830 Carroll Co TN John E has 2 males 10-15, 1 male
under 5, 1 female under 5, 2 females 10-15 and wife. In 1840 Henderson TN, John E has They
are living next to her brother Squire Stagg Ashley. Around 1835, John E. Carrington shows
up on the Henderson TN tax list with W.D. Carrington, your Alfred Carrington born 1798
(sons of Nathanial and Anne), Sion Carrington (John E's brother), and Walker
Carrington born c1805 (I think he was a son of Thomas Carrington). John E. (and Alfred)
left for Marshall MS around 1840. Walker left for nearby Tippah MS.
There is an intestate record for my John E. Carrington in Marshall Co MS dated 23 Sep
1844. In 1841-1844 He was living next to Alfred Carrington in Marshall MS (in the state
censuses). There was a Nelson D. Carrington estate there in 1841 (with John E security). A
Walter S. Carrington administered John E's estate in Sep 1844. A Paul J. Carrington in
1844 provided security for John E's estate. Here are the probably children of John E.
Carrington with his two wives:
Female Carrington born 1816-1820
Female Carrington born 1816-1820
Male Carrington born 1816-1820
Nelson D. Carrington born c1820 died 1841 Marshall TN
John D. Carrington born 1826 married Nancy Darnell 2 Jan 1849 in Carroll Co TN, he died
before 1880 Henderson TN
Paul J. Carrington born c1822 (was of legal age 1844 Marshall MS)
Sarah Carrington born 26 May 1827 Carroll TN married James M. Cole 31 Dec 1849 Carroll Co
MS
A Mary F. Carrington born 1827 married Sherrod Tighner Jan 1844 in Marshall Co MS. She is
a TBD so far. Maybe she was the widow of Nelson D. Carrington dec'd 1841.
I'm still sorting out some things.
