Henry Carringer obtained this 54 acre piece of land in Donation lot 941, originally granted to his father Martin Carringer after the Revolutionary War, from his father via his father's will in 1835. He sold it for $1,000 to his son, Cornelius A. Carringer.
Henry Carringer (1800-1879) was born 6 June 1800 in Sandy Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, the son of Martin and Maria Magdalena "Molly" (Houx) Carringer. He married Sarah Feather (1804-1848) in about 1823, and they had ten children. Cornelius A. Carringer (1834-1916) was the fourth child. He married Elizabeth Green (1834-1870) in 1859 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. They had three children.
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 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
