I have some corrections on 3 of the children of Alfred Carrington (1798-1846) and Sarah
"Sallie" Hall (1801-1867): I do not find a son named James M. Carrington in the
census or in Alfred's will, but that is not to say he did not exist.
I do find an additional daughter of Alfred & Sarah who is not listed in your list.
She is Jane Frances Carrington (Nov 3, 1835-Sept 1855). Jane was buried in Marshall Co. MS
in Carrington Cemetery. Jane md James H. Knox on April 7, 1847 in Marshall Co. MS (see
Book B, p 19). ( Sources: marriage, census and will records) Jane is listed with her
living siblings in her father's will in Marshall Co. in 1846.
Alfred's daughter, Martha Laura "Mattie" Carrington (born May 11, 1835)
married John A. KNOX , not Knott, on June 25, 1855 in Marshall County, MS. She died in
Sevier or Howard Co. AR and is buried in the Graves Cemetery in Howard Co. AR. (Sources:
marriage license from Marshall Co. and visit to her gravemarker.)
James H. Knox and John A. Knox were brothers from Fayette Co., TN. They were sons of
Robert KNOX and Catherine (Kirk) Knox.
