Col. Carrington was born in Barbadoes, West Indies, and emigrated to Virginia
in 1723, where he married Anne Mayo in 1732.  They lived at "Boston Hill",
Cumberland County, Virginia.  He occupied many positions of public trust and
was a vestryman and warden in the Episcopal Church from early manhood
