There are separate deeds from four heirs of Henry Carringer selling their share in the land owned by Henry Carringer in Louisa County, Iowa to their sisters, Mary and Louisa M. Carringer. I learned the location of each of the children when they filed their respective deeds, that each was a child of Henry Carringer, and that there were six shares, presumably for six living heirs-at-law.
Henry Carringer (1800-1879) is my third great-grandfather, and the father of David Jackson Carringer (1828-1902). He came to Louisa County, Iowa from Mercer County, Pennsylvania in about 1858 with several of his children, and died there in 1879. He bought land in Louisa County, Iowa in 1864, which I transcribed in Amanuensis Monday - Post 215: 1864 Deed of William McCullough to Henry Carringer in Louisa County, Iowa.
