4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

The names of the parents of Martin Carringer are not known.  There appear to be no church records, town records, or other records which record his birth or baptism.  It is probable that he was born in Pennsylvania to parents of German heritage.  There were a number of persons with the surname Carringer, Garringer, Kerringer, Gehringer, Gerringer, or variants living in Pennsylvania and Maryland  in the period 1750-1780.

One man, Henry Carringer, enlisted in 1757 at Fort Augusta as part of the Pennsylvania Battalion, and left the service in 1760, with the last record being at Fort Bedford, and the last known record was in 1774 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.  It is likely that Johann Henrich "Henry" Geringer (or Carringer) was the father of Martin Carringer.  He was in the approximate place at the approximate time of the first record of Martin Carringer.

Martin Carringer gave his age as 75 in the 12 April 1824 Revolutionary War Pension File declaration, which puts his birth year as 1758 or 1759.  

The book The Car(r)ender, Car(r)inder, Carnder, Corinder, Car(r)inger, Car(r)ander, Car(r)endar, Cor(r)inder, Ker(r)ender and Allied Lines, 1740-1990, Volume I, by Minnie Carender provides a family history of the surnames mentioned[1].  The family of Martin Carringer is described, but no clue is given as to his ancestry.

A 2001 typescript by M.A. Carringer, edited by Christine Carringer, titled The Carringer Family provided very useful information about Martin Carringer and his family.[4]

Martin Carringer's Revolutionary War service record includes:[4-6]

He enlisted from Westmoreland County on 4 September 1776, in what was first known as "the Battalion commanded by Col. Eneas Mackey."  After 5 December 1776, the regiment was known as "The Eighth Battalion of Penna. Troops in the Continental Service."  It was organized at what is now Kittanning.  On 23 November 1776, "Congress directed the Board of War to order the regiment to march, with all possible expedition, by the nearest route, to Brunswick, New Jersey, or to join Gen. Washington wherever he may be."  The regiment marched from Kittanning on 6 January 1777, and, after a difficult winter's journey across the mountains, was reported in the camps in New Jersey on 1 March 1777.

On 11 September 1777, the regiment took part in the Battle of Brandywine and on 3 October 1777 in the battle of Germantown, in this instance in the division of Anthony Wayne.  On 11 December 1777, it went into winter quarters at Valley Forge.  On 5 March 1778, the regiment was ordered to Pittsburgh where they arrived after making an Indian campaign up the west branch of the Susquehanna.  For the remainder of the war, the Eighth was engaged in Indian campaigns and building forts on the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers.

*  Martin Carringer was on the Muster Roll of June, July and August of 1778 of Colonel Carnahan's Company of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment of Foot, commanded by Colonel Daniel Brodhead.

*  He was on the Pay Roll at the rate of 6 2/3 dollars per month.  In June 1778, he received pay of 2 pounds, 5 shillings, 10 pence.

*  He received four bounty land certificates on 21 December 1784 (Certificates number 48076 A755 (80 dollars), 77949 G755 ($113 and 30/90 dollars), 78171 L755 (40 and 60/90 dollars), and 78294 C755 (80 dollars).

The Pennsylvania Archives show the following[6]:  

"Martin Carringer was a private in the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment in 1781 and again in 1783. From 4 May to 31 May 1781, he was serving in a detachment of four men under under Sgt. Robert Porter transporting provisions for troops down the river to Pittsburgh. He received pay for 61 days at one shilling per day.  His name appears as "Martin Cariger, Priv." on the receipt. From 1 June to 31 July 1781, he was serving in the same detachment boating forage and provisions on the Monongahela River to Pittsburgh. The receipt for this period shows payment for 61 days at one shilling per day, and his name is spelled "Martin Callinger."  For the month of October, 1781, he served in the same detachment, and was paid one shilling per day.  The receipt is signed "Martin Carringer, Priv. 8th Penna Rgt."  He was on the roll of Capt. John Clark's company in February, March and April of 1783, in a detachment from the PA line commanded by Lt. Col. Stephen Bayard.

Martin Carringer's name appears in the list of soldiers of the Pennsylvania Line who are entitled to receive donation lands.  The record indicates[6]:

 "Martin Carringer, Priv. 200 acres, War Office."

After the Revolutionary War, he was a resident of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.  In 1787, Martin Carringer was on the Rostraver township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania tax list[10].  The entry includes information in these columns:

*  Names:  Carringer Martin
*  Land held by: Location:  150 [acres]
*  Horned Cattle:  1
*  Value (£ - s - d):  39 [pounds]

He married Maria Magdalenas "Molly" Houx (or Hoax) in May 1785, according to the Family Bible included in the Revolutionary War Pension File summary for Martin Carringer[7-8].  This was probably in Frederick County, Maryland.

Martin and Mary "Molly" (Houx) Carringer had eight children who were listed in the Family Bible (in German) as[7]:

*  Jacob, born 1 Oct 1785, 
*  Lizbet born 6 Sept 1789, 
*  Katharine born 18 Jan 1792, 
*  George born 5 Sept 1795, 
*  Calli born 9 Mar 1797, 
*  Henrick born 6 June 1800, 
*  Soloman born 24 Aug 1802, 
*  Joseph born 22 Oct 1805.

The first four children were baptized in the Lutheran Church in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania[8].  Church records show the birth and baptismal records as:

*   Joh. Jacob, born 1 October 1785, baptized 16 October 1785, parents Marthinius Geringer and Maria Magthalena, sponsors Nicolaus and Barbara Hack,

*  Maria Elisabetha, born 6 September 1789, baptized 25 December 1789, parents Martin Gehring and Magdalena, sponsors Thomas Weickert and Maria Elisabetha,

*  Catherina, born 17 July 1792, baptized 26 May 1793, parents Martin Gehringer and Maria, sponsor Maria Catherine Weis

*  Georg, born 5 February 1795, baptized 9 June 1795, parents Martin Geringer and Magthalena, sponsors Johannes Grub and Sussana.

Under an Act of the General Assembly of 24 February 1785, distributing the donation lands promised the troops of the Commonwealth, Martin Carringer received Warrant No. 941, containing 200 acres, located in District No. 5 in what is now Perry Township, Mercer County, PA.  It was surveyed 3 October 1785 by Benj. Lodge, D.S., and is described as in the County of Westmoreland.  The warrant was drawn for Martin Carringer by William Turnbull on 28 August 1797[20].  

Martin Carringer went to his land in the wilderness and built a cabin in 1795 or early 1796.  The land remained in his family to the third generation.

A book (A History of Mercer County, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Penn. : L. H. Everts & Co., 1877) provides some insight into Martin Carringer's settlement and character[3]:

"It is claimed by some that Martin Carringer settled in what is now Perry Township in 1795.  Alexander McCracken and Hugh Minnis, who settled in Sandy Creek in April 1796, found Carringer already located upon their arrival, so that he must have come very early in 1796 at all events.

"At the time of McCracken and Minnis' arrival in 1796, Martin Carringer, a revolutionary soldier, had settled on a donation tract some three miles south of the Vacancy, within the present limits of Perry Township.  By some it is claimed that this man had built a cabin, and begun a clearing in 1795, but Mr. James McCracken now living on part of the old homestead, and who came to the township in 1798, with his parents, states that Carringer had been but two years in the county.  The tract which he cleared is now owned by his heirs and James Kelso, and is donation lot 941.  He was a German by birth, and eccentric in various respects, and many curious anecdotes are related illustrative both of his benevolence and his fiery temper.  A more generous man never lived, and his terrible vituperations, upon the slightest annoyance, was excused by the pioneers, among whom his kind disposition had made him a general favorite.  He was in the habit of contributing largely to every object which he believed would promote the good of the new county, and has left a reputation for honesty and integrity that will live forever in the memory of his posterity.  One year, after he had been a resident of Mercer County for some time, he raised an unusually good crop of corn, and after harvest a man called upon him and asked if he had corn for sale.  'Are you in need of corn?' said Carringer.  The man replied that he was as he was buying grain to sell. 'Then you can't have mine' he replied, 'I raise my corn to give away, and if you are poor and unable to buy you should have a part of it for nothing, but, as you have money, I shall give it to the destitute settlers as they have need of it.'  Carringer stated that upon his first arrival at his land he travelled north as far as Conneaut marsh without meeting a single settler" (p. 66).]

"About the year 1816, the people resolved to build a new house of worship, and two years later one was erected on the spot where the graveyard now lies.  This building was of hewed logs, had a floor and glass windows, and the highest subscription paid toward it was ten dollars by Martin Carringer." (p. 69).

Martin Carringer also receives prominent mention in the "History of Mercer County, Pennsylvania", published in Chicago by Brown, Runk & Co in 1888[2]:

"Mention will be made of one early pioneer, whose life was a succession of eccentric thoughts and equally as eccentric actions. Reference is made to Martin Carringer.  He was an old Revolutionary War veteran, whose entrance into (Perry) township dates back, according to the best authenticated accounts, to the year 1796.  Some assert that Carringer arrived as early as 1795, and built a cabin.  If this could be verified it would unquestionably establish him as the earliest settler in the county.  But however the mere date may be, he is fairly entitled to rank among the very earliest pioneers.  He settled on donation lot No. 941, which had been granted to him from the commonwealth on account of his services in the Revolution.  He was a German, as the name indicates, and was known, in later years, after settlements had been made about him, for his wonderful kindness.  He was extremely generous, but his generosity was only extended to the poor and helpless.  All worthy public enterprises received his hearty support, and all unworthy ones were as readily met with his vehement opposition.  It is seldom in the history of any community that a character is found which deserves higher encomiums than those which even his neighbors and associates bestowed on Martin Carringer" (p. 568).

"Martin Carringer was a native of Westmoreland County, Penn. and came to this county in 1796;  was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.  He settled in Perry Township, and died in 1838.  He was the father of Jacob, George, Henry and Joseph, all dead.  Jacob was in the War of 1812.  George was born in Westmoreland County, and married Isabella Montgomery.  He was an early member of the militia.  He died in 1876, aged 81 years and was the father of the following children: John, George, Emily, Maude (deceased), Milton, Isabella, married Humphrey Orr, James, deceased, was in the war, Harvey and Jane, wife of Stephen Feather;  Isabella Montgomery, wife of George Carringer, died September 24, 1888, aged 85 years, making a residence on the farm they first settled on 67 years." (p. 1119-1120)

Martin Carringer was the largest subscriber to the Upper Sandy Creek Presbyterian Church in Georgetown in 1799, with a mark of $10.  In 1818, Martin Carringer, John Sheakley and Samuel Cochran withdrew from the Georgetown Presbyterian Church and joined the Mineral Ridge Associate Reformed (Covenanter) Church.

In the 1800 United States Census, the Martin Carringer household was in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.  The household included[11]:

*  two males under age 10

*  one male over age 45 (probably Martin Carringer)

*  two females under age 10
*  one female aged 10 to 16
*  one female over age 45 (probably Molly Carringer)

*  three males under age 10
*  one male aged 10 to 16
*  one male aged 16 to 26
*  one male over age 45 (probably Martin Carringer)

*  one female aged 10 to 16
*  one female aged 16 to 26
*  one female aged 26 to 45 (probably Molly Carringer)

In the 1820 United States Census, the Martin Carringer household was enumerated in Sandy Creek township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.  The household included[13]:

*   one male age 10-16, 
*  one male age 16 to 18, 
*  three males age 16-26, 
*  one male age over 45 (probably Martin Carringer)

* two females age 16 to 26, 
*  one female age over 45 (probably Molly Carringer)

He was officially listed as a Pennsylvania Revolutionary War pensioner on 19 June 1824, when he was 75 years of age.  His widow was allowed her pension in 1839 after his death, a resident of Sandy Creek township and 71 years of age.  Martin Carringer's Revolutionary War pension file abstract reads[14]:

"CARRINGER, Martin, Molly, W6905 BLW 1259-100, PA line, soldier enlisted in Westmoreland Cty PA, soldier applied 12 Apr 1824 Mercer Cty PA aged 65, soldier married Mary "Molly" Hoax in May 1785 and soldier died 25 Jan 1835 in Mercer Cty PA and widow applied there 8 Feb 1839 a resident of Sandy Creek Twnshp PA aged 71 and widow died there 31 Aug 1850.  Children were Jacob, born 1 Oct 1785, Lizbet born 6 Sept 1789, Katharine born 18 Jan 1792, George born 5 Sept 1795, Calli born 9 Mar 1797, Henrick born 6 June 1800, Soloman born 24 Aug 1802, Joseph born 22 Oct 1805.  Also shown was a grandchild Tastet born 13 May 1811 and died 27 Aug 1820; soldier's son George signs affidavit 28 Aug 1851 Mercer Cty PA, surviving children at widow's death were Jacob Carrigan, Elizabeth McCartney deceased in 1851, Catherine Cazbe, George, Henry and Joseph Carrigan.  Soldier's daughter Elizabeth McCartney died 14 Nov 1850." (Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files" by Virgil D. White, pub. 1990)
