In the 1850 census index, I found my great-great-grandfather, Milton
CARRINGTON in Putnam County, Indiana. I am interested in any information on
his parents, birthdate, date of marriage, siblings, etc. Also would like the
same information on Nancy SEARS, his wife. I expect most of this info will
be in Kentucky.
Interesting fact - I have a mantle clock that belonged to Nancy CARRINGTON,
my great-great grandmother, which was manufactured between 1850 and 1855.
1850 Data
Milton CARRINGTON, age=39, Farmer, born in Kentucky.
Nancy, wife, age=30, born in Kentucky.
Jabada, son, age=17, born in Kentucky.
Thomas, son, age=15, born in Indiana.
Nancy, daughter, age=12, born in Indiana.
Edmind, son, age=9, born in Indiana.
Elizabeth, daughter, age=6, born in Indiana.
Wesly O., son, age 3, born in Indiana. (My great grandfather.)
Mary F, daughter, age 1, born in Indiana.
So I deduce that Milton was born about 1811, Nancy was born about 1820, they
were married in about 1830-1833, based on Jabada being born in 1833. and
moved to Indiana about 1833-1835, between the births of Jabada and Thomas.
If anyone can contribute any of this information or any family connection, it
would be very much appreciated.
