Hi Renea,
The Mark "Carrington" I found appears in Madison County TN 1840 (adjoining
Henderson) listed as "Mark Caragan" age 20-30. He then appears in Madison 1850
listed as "Mark Carrington" age 34. In 1860 he name is spelled "Mark
Caragan" living in McNairy TN age 42. Then, in 1870, he is in Greene AR listed as
Mark Caragan age 51. I think he may be a Carrington (possibly one of John E.'s sons
as I mentioned)
John E. Carrington's household (based on the 1830 Carroll TN and 1840 Henderson TN
censuses) had 2 males born 1815-1820 and 1 male born c1820 plus 2 females born 1815-20.
The 3 oldest children were probably with a first wife Jenney Smith (there is a marriage in
1816 Orange Co NC between John Carrington and Jenney Smith). John E. married Polly Ashley
in 1818, so I assume Jenney died within 2 years.
Any hints on John E.'s children would be appreciated. My 3g grandmother Sarah
Carrington (born c1827, a daughter of John E. and Polly) married James M. Cole of
Carroll/Henderson TN and lived in Nacogdoches Co TX in 1850. John E., Polly and the other
children seem to vanish between 1840 and 1850 except for these two possible sons.
Thanks,
Gary
