I'm trying to find the children of John E. Carrington, born North Carolina and wife
Polly. The only one I know for sure is a daughter, my 3g grandmother, Sarah Carrington
Cole Britt (born c1826). John E. was the son of Ephraim Carrington and brother of Sion or
Sihon Carrington and other siblings. John E. sold his inherited land in NC and moved to
TN in the 1820s. He was in Orange NC in 1820, Carroll TN 1830 and Henderson TN 1840.
Their children were:
1 male born 1815-20
1 male born c1820
2 females born 1815-20
1 male born 1825-30
1 female born 1825-30 (Sarah born 1826)
His daughter Sarah marriage in Kaufman Co TX in 1853 to second husband John J. Britt (born
1798 NC, lived in GA, AR then TX). Sarah's first husband was James Cole who died
shortly after 1850. They were living in Nacogdoches TX at the time.
I found a Mark Carrington born c1816 in Henderson TN (wife Sarah, children Mark, Charles
L., Rachel, William J.) who I thought might be Sarah's oldest brother. He isn't
listed as a son of the other Carringtons in that area on family trees I've seen.
Anybody know of other children or hints?
