ROl.fJAi'JCE IN RESEARCH
BY
MARGARET ANN SCRUGGS
(MRS. CARRUTH)
THE PROBLEM:
DR. JOHN SIMMS CARRINGTON, BORN 7 MARCH 1833, IN CHARLOTTE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA, DIED 12 OcT. 1885 IN ABILENE, TEXAS, ON A BUSINESS TRIP.
BURIED IN THE OLD CEMETERY AT ~ i ACO, TEXAS, (FROM TOMB AND NEWSPAPER
OBITUARY RECORDS) MARRIED ABOUT 1870/71 AT Sr. MATTHE~rn (EPrs.)
CATHEDRAL IN DALLAS, TEX. MARTHA CAROLINE DIAL, AGED ONE/SIX YEAR
(1 YR & 6 MOS) ACCORDING TO THE 1850 CENSUS, BORN NEAR MARSHALL,
TEXAS, BUT OTHER RECORDS (AT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY, WACO) STATE SHE WAS
BORN 16 DECo 1848, DAUGHTER OF CAPTAIN GARLINGTON COKER DIAL AND HIS
WIFE PAMELIA MARGARET ScOGEN OF LAURENS, S. C. AND MARSHALL, TEX.
DIED JULY 1876 (PRIOR TO 1flTH, WHEN RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY WERE SENT
TO HER HUSBAND BY THE DOCTORS' ORGANIZATION IN DALLAS.)
IT IS
THOUGHT SHE DIED WHILE THEY WERE RESIDENT IN COLORADO••• HER ONLY
CHILD PAULI NE, BEi NG THEN AGED THREE YEARS. THE PROBLEM WAS TO VER! FY
DATA CONCERNING DR. JOHN SIMMS CARRINGTON AND TO LOCATE HIS PARENTS•
RECORDS AT THE LIBRARY OF SOUTHWESTERN MEDICAL SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
TEXAS (DALLAS) CONTAIN SEVERAL BITS OF INFORMATION, BUT NO CONCLUSIVE PROOF
ON PARENTAGE. THERE IS A RECORD OF HIS GRADUATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW
YORK CITY (NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE) IN 1855, AND RECORD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
VIRGINIA IN CHARLOTTEVILLE THAT HE STUDIED MEDICINE FOR THE YEAR 1853/4, BUT
STATED AT THAT TIME TH/IT HE VdAS A RESIDENT PRACTICING PHYSICIAN IN DALLAS,"OF
OUACHITA PARISH, L,i\ 11 •
OUACHITA PARISH, LA. HAD NO MENTION OF HIS NAME AND THE ONLY CARRINGTON NAMES IN
THEIR RECORDS WERE THAT OF A MRS. JOANNA T. CARRINGTON REGARDING FARMING AGREEMENTS WITH HER SON PAUL R. CARRINGTON FOR FARM LANDS LOCATED SOME IN HEMPSTEAD
COUNTY9 ARK., AND IN MECKLENBURG COUNTY, VA. OR NORTH CAROLINA, BUT THE
MECKLENBURG, COUNTY VA. CLERK OF THE COURT COULD FIND NONE OF THE NAMES
(CARRINGTON), AND SUGGESTED CHARLOTTE AND HALIFAX COUNTIES FOR FURTHER SEARCH.
MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N. C. HAS NOT TO DATE REPLIED.
IF DR. CARRINGTON WAS A PRACTICING PHYSICIAN PRIOR TO 1853 WE HAVE NOT LOCATED
WHERE HE RECEIVED HIS MEDICAL EDUCATION TO DATE, POSSIBLY TULANE OR WASHINGTON
COLLEGE, WHERE OTHER RELATIVES ATTENDED. H1s ~IFE WAS A GRADUATE OF BAYLOR
UNIVERSITY, hACO, TEXAS AT THE AGE OF 18.
MANY INQUIRIES TO CARRINGTON DESCENDANTS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES
HAVE BROUGHT VERY MEAGER REPLIES AND NO FACTUAL DATA UNTIL A LETTER WAS RECEIVED
FROM Miss ELIZABETH CARRINGTON EGGLESTON OF HAMPTON CITY, VIRGINIA, WHO IN
SEARCHING HER DECEASED FATHER'S RECORDS AT THE REQUEST OF THE CLERK OF THE COURT
OF CHARLOTTE COUNTY VIRGINIA, SUGGESTED THAT DR. JOHN SIMMS CARRINGTON MUST HAVE
BEEN ONE OF THE PROGENY OF THE SECOND MARRIAGE OF JUDGE PAUL CARRINGTON OF
"MULBERRY H1 LL" CHARLOTTE COUNTY, VA." "AT THE AGE OF 65" JUDGE PAUL CARRINGTON
WHO WAS BORN IN 1733 MARRIED (2) THE 6 f'viARCH 1792, ACCORDING TO THE OLD "VA.
GAZETTE 11 OF THAT DATE, Miss PRISCILLA SIMMS, THEN AGED FIFTEEN, OF HALIFAX COUNTY,
Vt RGI NIA.
SOME FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING THIS MARRIAGE ARE TO BE FOUND IN THE "CABELLS AND
THEIR K1N" BY ALEXANDER BROWN, FIRST EDITION 1095, SECOND EDITION 1939•
DR. BROWN IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST EMINENT HISTORICAL ~RITERS AND GENEALOGISTS OF HIS DAY.
15.
Miss EGGLESTON GAVE THE LIST AND DATES OF BIRTH OF THE f"OUR CHILDREN BORN TO Ht1s
5
SECOND MARRIAGE.
(1) THE ELDEST SON HENRY, BORN 17 SEPT. 1793, DIED
D EC. 18~7
MARRIED (PAGE 608) LOUISA ELIZABETH CABELL AND "HAO EIGHT CHILDREN" • • • THE LISl'

(3) THE THIRD CHILD MARTH."- WAS BORN
1800 AND THE YOUNGEST CHILD (4) ROBERT V-JAS BORN 2 M ARCH 1802, DIED IN ARKANSAS,
FEB. 1845, MARRIED (PAGE 586) JOANNA BOULDIN, DAUGHTER OF JUDGE THOMAS TYLER
BOULDIN, WHO DIED IN 1834, (SON OF Woon BOULDIN AND JOANN A TYLER, DAUGHTER OF
JOHN TYLER "M ARSHALL OF THE COLONY" AND WI FE ANN, DAUGHTER OF DR. COMPTESSE
(CONTESSE) A HUGUENOT.)
Woon BOULDIN \'/AS SON OF COL. THOM AS BOULDIN AND WI FE
NANCY CLARK. THOMAS TYLER BOULDIN CARRI NGTON Mk RRIED ( A L SO ON PAGE 586) PAULINA
HENRY CABELL, AND H1~D AN ONLY CHILD MATTIE WHO BECAME A NUN AND DIED IN THE co~ ..
VENT IN 8 A LT I MORE 9 Mn. TH IS THOMAS ~'/ A S EDUCATED AT WA SHINGTON COLLEGE•
THERE IS NO MENTION FURTHER IN THE "C ABE LL S !1ND THEIR f<1 N
OF THE CH I LDREN OF
ROBERT AND JOANN A BOULDIN, BUT THE OU ACHIT A P ARISH, LA. RECORDS SHOW JO ANNA T.
(YLER) CARRINGTON HAD A SON PAUL
C ARR INGTON.
11
R.
WE ESTIMATE TH AT THOM AS TYLER BOULDIN CARRINGTON
WHO ~'U\S Kl LLED IN A STREET
FIGHT IN ARK ANSAS IN 1859" PROB ABLY WAS BORN 1830/31, AND IF SO, WAS JUST A LlllLE
OLDER THAN DR . JOHN SIMMS C ARRINGTON WHO ~"I AS BORN 7 MARCH 1833 ~ /\ ND LIKELY PAUl
R • WAS YOUNGER.
11
PAULINE CARRINGTON , ONLY CHILD OF DR. JOHN SIMMS CARRINGTON AND M ARTHA CAROLINt
DIAL, WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN NAMED FOR D R. SIMMS' SISTER THOUGH IT APPEARS THAT
IT WAS FOR HIS SISTER-IN-LAW, PAULINA HENRY CABELL CARRINGTON.
BY HIS SECOND
MARRIAGE DR. JOHN SIMM S CARRINGTON HAD AN ONLY CHILD9 Woon BOULDIN CARRINGTON,
BORN 17 Nov. 1879 , DIED UNM ARRIED 20 JULY 1937 ACCORDING TO HIS TOMB RECORD IN
WACO CEMETERY. THE NAME Woon BOULD IN, AS CAN RE ADILY BE SEEN, WAS FOR DR.
CARRINGTON'S GREAT GRANDFATHE R AND FOR AN UNCLE, BOTH OF WHOM H AD THE SAME N AMt
Woon BOULDIN.
'
CEN SUS RECORDS FOR 1850 AND 1860 FOR HEMPSTE AD COUNTY, ARK. AND OUACHITA PARISH,
LA. SHOULD REVEAL THE N/'.1MES OF THE CHILDREN OF JO ANNA WHO WOULD BY THAT D ATE HAVE
BEEN A WIDOW, HER HUSBAND H AVING DIED IN FEB. 1845 IN ARKANSAS.
THE SEARCH HA S BEEN MOST INTERESTING BUT QUITE BAFFLING AT TIMES. IT IS A GOOD
EX AMPLE OF HOW RECORD S TH~T SEEM TO BE COMPLETELY GONE CAN SOMETIMES BE PARTIAL•
LY IF NOT WHOLELY RECOVERED.
