From: The Origin of the Carrington Family of Virginia, by James C.
Brandow, The National Genealogical Society Quarterly - Vol. 70, Number 1,
March 1982, pages 246-270:
For more than a century, historians, genealogists, and descendants
have searched in vain for the origin of the Carrington family of
Virginia. Where the ancestors of Colonel George Carrington (1711-1785)
of Boston Hill, Cumberland County, who emigrated to Virginia in 1723,
came from originally has remained a mystery up to the present. there
never was any doubt the emigrant was born in Barbados, the son of Dr.
Paul and Hennigham (Cordrington) Carrington of St. Philip's Parish, but
beyond that the record was blank. Hopefully this article will shed light
on the question, spark fresh interest in research, and lead to further
information...............
Paul (1) Carrington, the first proven progenitor of Barbados
Carrington family died March 1665/66 in St. Thomas Parish, Barbados.
Little is known of him, but all available evidence in Barbadoes indicates
he was a small sugar planter. he emigrated to Barbados from Ireland
about 1650 and probably was the son or grandson of Nathaniel Carrington,
an English farmer who settled in Londonderry in 1615. **(Nathaniel
Carrington, an English tenant farmer, leased in 1615 two balliboes,
Tawnymore (Tammeymore) and Cah, which were part of Lizard Plantation,
that portion of Londonderry, Ireland, set aside for settlement by the
Ironmongers' Guild of London, Ironmongers' Papers, guildhall Library,
London, MS. 17, 278/1, f. 108a.)......................
On 4 April 1654 the Council of Barbados ordered Paul Carrington to
submit himself to the decision of a court concerning a debt of 1,500
pounds of sugar. He had petitioned the Govenor and Council to overrule
the court but they found ' that Paul carrington hath unhandsomely brought
them hither, & hath misapplied himself in this respect, with out just
cause of complaint."(Lucas Manuscripts, Minutes of Council, 1:21,
Barbados Public Library, Bridgetown)
His wife Sarah (Houghton/Haughton/Hawton?) may have been the
daughter of Rowland, Houghton who owned property in Barbados but died in
Jamaica in 1662. Rowland Houghton's will dated 3 February 1661/62 and
probated 10 April 1662 in Barbados mentions a son Robert, and a daughter,
Mary, but not Sarah. (RB6/15/183) The will of the progenitor names his
brother-in-law, Robert Haughton, and a generation later, Dr. Paul (2)
Carrington, son of of the progenitor, was a witness to the will of
Rowland Hawton (Haughton), mariner, of St. Michael's Parish dated 11 July
1691 and probated 30 August 1691. (RB6/10/492)......................
The will of Paul Carrington, dated 4 March 1665/66 and probated 20
March 1665/66, requests a decent burial in St. Thomas Parish churchyard.
His wife Sarah, was to receive one-third of all goods, lands, and
chattels in consideration of her dower. His Four children, Nathaniel,
Ann, Paul (2), and Alice, were to receive the remainder of the estate,
which was to be divided equally between them. His brother, Will
Carrington, was to receive 2,000 pounds of Muscovado sugar in order to
send him home to Ireland to his friends, or as his overseers should think
fit. His wife was executrix, and the overseers were his brother-in-law,
Robert Haughton, and friends, James Ruck and Edward Wright.(RB6/15/111.
William Carrington was a witness to a St. Thomas deed dated 23 Apr. 1665.

rolls of 1679/80, served as a private in Captain Allamby's

and mentions an unnamed wife, an expected child, a son
named William, and his brother Paul. (RB6/2/85) Like his father,
Nathaniel resided in St. Thomas Par., and for generations
his descendants lived in that parish................

Michael's Par. According to the Census of 1679/80. Ann
Newton owned 21 acres and 11 slaves in St. Philip's Par. The will of Ann
