Dear Sharon,
First, thank you so much for offering to do lookups in your book. I know that takes time
and effort and your generosity is greatly appreciated. Often, in our hurry to find
information we forget to thank the people who have given us a piece of their life by
spending time doing research. My ancestor is Coatsworth D. Carrington who was born in
North Caroline in 1812. He married Sarah Riley who was born in 1819 in Tennessee before
1840 in Graves Co., Kentucky. He died September 22, 1856 in Mayfield, Graves Co.,
Kentucky. I have him on an 1850 Graves Co., Kentucky census but can't find him before
that, although I believe he was in Marsahll County, Tennessee in 1840. His children were:
William Franklin, James H., John Riley, Sarah E., Permelia Jane, P.M., D., and John.
I was interested to see the Herriet name. My great grandfather's name was John Herrett
Carrington. John Herrett was the son of William Franklin, mentioned above.
Thank you again for all the great information on the Carrington family.
