Hi Joe,
The list isn't very active. I am writing back because I have been trying to
find out what Carrington line I am related to; I have suspicions it might be
the Barbados line, but have not been able to make the critical link. My
father's mother's grandparents were Carringtons who went to California, prior
to the gold rush. Oral family history says that they had a Spanish Land Grant
in the Lodi area and that they had been "Lord & Lady Carrington" who had
fled
England due to some political dispute. I haven't been able to document any of
the oral history and have tried unsuccessfully to get their first names. Irma
Nadine Carrington was my grandmother; her siblings were Olo Robert and Lavada
Virginia, her father was Robert E Lee Carrington (born in California), who
married Blanche Henrahan (daughter of a Dr. Walter Scott Henrahan from
Virginia). If we can collaborate in any way, please let me know.
Thanks!
Michele Cannon
