Drusilla Hopkins md Alfred Carrington on 1 July 1826 in Orange Co., NC.
Additionally, a Sarah "Sallie" Hall md Alfred Carrington on 13 Sep 1820 in
Orange Co. The latter couple are later found in Marshall Co. MS where both died. Sarah
remarried Wm. Therrell after her husband's death. This Alfred's will was probated
in Marshall Co. in 1846.
I can pretty well trace Alfred and Sarah, but not Alfred and Drusilla.
Several genealogies that are being circulated list both of the above grooms with the same
birth date and place. They then attach both Alfreds (with different wives) as a child of
Nathaniel Carrington (b 1760, Orange Co.)and Anna Davis.
My questions: what information exists that either of the Alfred Carringtons is a son of
Nathaniel Carrington (b 1760)? Is this the Nathaniel Carrington who descends from the
Barbados Carringtons? What proof exists?
I descend from Alfred and Sarah Hall Carrington Therrell's daughter, Martha L.
Carrington who md John A. Knox. Incidentally, John's name is frequently written John
A. Know. I have a copy of the marriage record and it is John A. Knox.
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.
