• Notes

  William Davis Carrington, sixth child of Nathaniel and Anna Davis-Carrington, was born Jan. 3, 1792, Orange County, NC, USA. On Sept 6, 1813, he married Frances (Fanny) Cozart, daughter of Williams I, and Holly Mangum-Cozart, who was born June 11, 1793, Granville County, NC, USA. They farmed in Orange County, NC, USA and moved to Henderson County, TN, USA, by 1825, and owned land at Pleasant Exchange, Henderson County, TN, USA. In 1829, they moved to SanAugustine County, Republic of Texas. Later, in 1839, in Leon County, he received an unconditional land certificate for 640 acres in the Leon Prairie Community. Of interest were two manifests showing the goods that he brought into the Republic, dated December 1839 and July 1840. These were found in the R. W. Steen LIbrary, special collections, Nacogdoches, TX, USA. They belonged to the Christian church. Fanny wore a black lace cap on weekdays and a white one on Sundays. Williams Davis died in 1849 in Mississippi. Fanny died Nov. 23, 1878, in Leon County, with burial in Rogers Cemetery near Leona, TX, USA. Their children were: Rianna Patterson (born 1814), Leonidas Davis Carrington (1816-1897), Duncan Cameron Carrington (1818-1891), Wiley Hubbard Duncan Carrington (1820-1887), Martha Rogers (1822-1894), Hollens Clark (1824-1870s), Isabella Frances (1827-1828), Luther Fairbanks Carrington (1829-1862), Mary J. Abbott (1831-1862), Josephine LeFlore (born 1834), Williams Davis Carrington, Jr. (1838-1862). Five of their 11 children raised families in Texas:Leonidas Davis Carrington I, and Wiley Hubbard Davis Carrington in Travis County; Duncan Cameron Carrington and Martha Riana Carrington-Rogers in Leon county; Hollens (Holly) Mangum Carrington-Clark in Denton County.
