Pam and everyone else,
I descend from James Carringon b 1796 and wife Elizabeth who are in Roane Co.
TN 1830, 1840, and 1850. One of his sons, John Jackson "Jack" and wife Hannah
J. Burke move to Perry Co TN by 1860 and then Decatur Co.TN. This Carrington
line and the one you write of, Priestly's , are in close proximity and
descendents claimed to be related. I have not proven relationship because I
can not find James before 1830 census or after the 1850 census. In 1850 James
and Elizabeth are listed as being b in SC, but their son Jack later states
that his mother and father were born in NC.
I also have a Cozart line in Decatur/Henderson CoTN a Wilson and a
Delaney-all families marrying in to Priestly Carrington's line.
I say all this because 1) maybe someone out there knows where James was
before 1830 or after 1850, 2) to explain why I have spent so much time on
Priestly's line.
Most of this info was given to me from those descending from this family .
They did not give me documentation and I have not documented all due to lack
of time and not being sure any of this pertains to me, but it is a starting
point.
Jemima Cozart wife of Sion Carrington died 28 June 1862 and burried in the
Carrington Cemetery Henderson Co TN.

Ephraim was son of John Carrington and Mary Pamplin.Ephraim married Priscilla
Duke 15Mar1811 in Orange Co NC. He leaves a will as does also his wife
Priscilla.
Children: Scion, Morgan, John, Charlotte, Dicey, and Polly
Nathaniel and wife Anna Davis-John clearly states in his will that both
Ephraim and Nathaniel are sons.
Children of Nathaniel:
Dicey, Wiley, Nathaniel M, Holly, Polly, Fanny, Ephraim H, Ruth, Nancy,
William D, Alfred.
These are known to have spent at least part of their life in Henderson CoTN:
Dicie, Holly, Polly, Alfred, and William D.

James, George, John, Nathaniel, Ephraim, Dice, Thomas
Nathaniel Carrington and Mary Howell of Barbados
children:Nathaniel, Judith, Paul, Mary, Robert C, John (m to Mary Pamplin),
Elizabeth, and perhaps Codrington
PLEASE remember I said use this info as an aid although I believe most/all
will be found to be accurate because of my source. I am in the beginnings of
going back and trying to document all because I have decided my line must be
connected .
