Orville Carrington was supposedly adopted by Michael & Mary McCarty Walls of Marion
Co. Ky. Orville took on the Walls name and I was told Carrington was his surname, and it
was used as his middle name. It's unknown if he was actually adoped or not. Michael
died 1928 & Mary died 1939, both in Marion Co. I have a death date for Orville as
1987. Mary and Michael didn't have any other children.
Does anyone have verified info about this? Were the Carringtons friends or family to
Michael Walls? Michael was born in Ireland. The Carrington name doesn't run in
collateral family for the McCarty's, as this is my line I'm researching.
Thanks for any help. Judy
