Henry Carringer (about 1800-1879), son of Martin and Maria (Houx) Carringer, married Sarah Feather (1804-1848) in about 1804, and they had ten children between 1827 and 1848.
Henry and Sarah (Feather) Carringer are my 3rd great-grandparents, through their son David Jackson Carringer (1828-1902) who married Rebecca Spangler (1832-1901) in 1851.
