Descendants of Rev. Timothy Carrington


First Generation

1. Rev. Timothy CARRINGTON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 was born in 1742,10 died in Sep 1822 in Comer, Madison County, Georgia 11 at age 80, and was buried in Madison County, Georgia.12

Noted events in his life were:

Birth Note: 1742. 10 Rev. George White in his book, Historical Collections of Georgia , written in 1854, stated in the section on the history of Madison County on page 544: "..There are several instances of longevity. Mr. James Pittman, 93; Mrs. Lettuce Mulligan, 89; Mr, Stephen Groves was over 93; James Thompson was over 80; Mr. James Caruth, over 80; Mr. James Saunders, 80; Captain Robert L. Tate [sic], 80; Rev. Timothy Carrington died at 80; Alexander Haman, at 80; /Wm. Cheek, at 89; Charles Tugle [sic], 87...."

Not only did Rev. White talk with local citizens in the various counties, but in 1853 when he was researching his book, Rev. Timothy's oldest child, Daniel Carrington was still living in neighboring Wilkes County. Daniel's longevity was also noted in the Wilkes County chapter, so it is very possible that Rev. White talked personally with Daniel Carrington regarding his and Rev. Timothy's long lives.

We know that Rev. Timothy died in September 1822, so subtracting 80 years from 1822 produces a birth year of 1742 for Rev. Timothy. Therefore, Rev. Timothy was 32 years old in 1774 when he married 16-year-old Winnifred King.

Timothy served in the military enlisting as a private for a six-month period in 1781 in Wake County, North Carolina. He participated in the Battle of Eutaw Springs, South Carolina on Sep 8, 1781. He was paid for his services as shown by the following entry from North Carolina Revolutionary Army Accounts, Vol. 1, Book 3, page 36:

"Specia Certificates pd into the comptrollers office by John Armstrong & c.: No 1160, granted by Bledsoe & Williams to TIMOTHY CARRINTON (sic), 10 June 1783, Sum=17£, interest 7.7 to 29 Oct 1783; Prin & Int=17.7.7" 4 13

From Wake County, North Carolina, Court Minutes:

Page 307—A deed from Timothy Carrington to James Brown was proved in Open Court by the Oath of John Humphries Va. a witness thereto and Ordered to be registered. 2

Timothy worked as an an unordained licenciate preacher at Clarks Station Baptist Church om 1788 in Wilkes County, Georgia. According to the meeting minutes the church had 37 members. He was also a delegate to the Georgia Association Meeting that year along with Rev. Matthew Talbot, pastor of Clarks Station Baptist, Stephen Johnson, Thomas Gilbert and Godfrey Hartsfield.

He was ordained in 1790 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. 15 16 Timothy was ordained a minister of the gospel at Millstone Baptist Church by 1790 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Verbatim excerpt from the "List of Baptist Ministers and the Churches They Served," a reference list compiled for use of the librarians in the Special Collections Room at the Tarver Library, Mercer University, Macon, Georgia:

Carrington, Timothy: Clarks Station 1788 Millstone 1790 Georgia
Assoc. 1788-- Ord. by 1790 Clouds Creek 1792
Asplund 1790 Ord. Millstone, Wilkes Co. [later Oglethorpe Co.]
Sarepta Assoc. had written circular letter
in 1803 Skull Shoals in Elbert Co. 1804 Sarepta
Assoc. 1804 Asked to write letter to Bethel Assoc.
S.C. 1804 Messenger to Georgia Assoc.

In the minutes of the various association meetings of 1788, 1790, 1792 and 1793, the names of the ordained ministers always were printed in Capitals, the unordained preachers were in italics. and delegates to the meeting were in plain type.

In 1788 Rev. Timothy's name was in plain type indicating he was simply a lay delegate to the Georgia Association meeting at Clark's Station.. In 1790 his name was in all caps indicating he was the ordained minister representing his pastorate at Millstone Baptist, and in 1792 and 1793, his pastorate at Cloud's Creek.

Timothy served as pastor of Millstone Creek Baptist Church in 1790 in Wilkes County, Georgia. According to the Minutes of the Georgia Association Meeting held at Reed's Creek on Oct 16, 1790, Millstone Baptist Church had 51 members that year, one member was baptized and 2 were "received by letter" [when they joined the church].

Delegates to the Association meeting were Rev. Timothy Carrington, pastor, James Dye and Jesse Willingham. 15 16

Timothy served as pastor Of Cloud's Creek Baptist Church in 1792 and 1793 in Wilkes County, Georgia. In 1792 Rev. Timothy Carrington was the only delegate from Cloud's Creek to the Georgia Association Meeting. That year he reported that the church had 57 members, two of which were received by baptism and six were received by letter.

In 1793 Rev. Timothy Carrington, pastor, and Isaiah Hales, a licensed preacher, were the Cloud's Creek delegates to the Georgia Association meeting. He reported a membership of 53, of which 3 were baptised, 7 were received by letter, and 3 were excommunicated.

Although the church records did not include the names of pastors prior to 1805, Rev. Timothy might have remained as pastor at Cloud's Creek until 1803 when he helped found and became the first pastor at Scull Shoals Baptist, later renamed Lystra Baptist. The "List of Baptist Ministers and the Churches They Served" from the Georgia Baptist Archives does not show him as pastor of any other church between 1792 and 1803.

Cloud's Creek Baptist Church was organized Sep 20, 1788 with charter members: Jos. Embrey, Robertson Hendon, Thos. Hendon, Jimmy Smith, William Hnedon, Benjamin Staniford, William Lawrence, Ruben Johnson, Thos. Johnson, Abel Gower, Benjamin Tribble, Adam Simmons, Timothy Carrington, Isaiah Hales, Rachel Embry, Elizabeth Hendon, Casandra Hendon, Elizabeth Hendon (No. 2), Keronhappuch Olive, Mary Bridges, Lyda Johnson, Penelope Johnson, Rhoda Lawrence, Tabitha Simillion and Rachel Staniford.

Timothy Carrington and Isaiah Hales were both later ordained as Baptist ministers.

Today there is a bronze plaque on the front exterior wall of the church by the front door listing all the charter members. 17 18

Timothy worked as pastor at Cloud's Creek from 1798 until 1803. In 1798 eight churches withdrew from the Georgia Baptist Association—Shoal Creek, Doves Creek, Van's Creek, Holly Springs, Cabin Creek, Millstone, Trail Creek and Nail's Creek. In October 1799 delegates from those eight churches met at Van's Creek Church in Elbert County and formed the Sarepta Baptist Association.

The second session of the Sarepta Association was held at Millstone Baptist Church in 1800, and records show that "Cloud's Creek Church came in with her letter from the Georgia association...," making nine churches in all.

In 1803 the Sarepta Association met at Cloud's Creek Church and Rev. Timothy Carrington was a delegate and helped write a Circular Letter. 19 20

Timothy was a co-founder and the first minister, and he & Winney were charter members of the Lystra Primitive Baptist Church which was constituted January 15, 1803, at Scull Shoals in Elbert County, Georgia. Lystra was originally called Scull Shoals Baptist Church. Lystra Church was a topic in one of the Foxfire 7 book, and was featured in at least two newspaper articles over the years.

In 1804 Rev. timothy Carrington was again a delegate to the Sarepta Association meeting. He was asked to write a letter to the Bethel Association in South Carolina.

In 1804 he was also a messenger from the Sarepta Association to the Georgia Association meeting.

in 1807 the Sarepta Association met at Shoals Creek in Elbert County, and Rev. Timothy Carrington gave the introductory sermon.

Church records indicated that Rev. Timothy Carrington performed a marriage in Elbert County on Sep. 24, 1807.

According to the History of the Baptist Denomination in North America by David Benedict, Rev. Timothy was still pastor of Scull Shoals Baptist Church in 1813. The church minutes dated Sep. 12, 1819, recorded that Timothy was relieved of duty because of age, and he died in September 1822. The church minutes of May 6, 1826, still listed Winnifred Carrington as a member. 21

Timothy registered for a draw in the 1805 Goergia Land Lottery as follows:

[He did not win any land]22

Timothy appeared on the 1817 Tax Digest in Madison County, Georgia.

* Although he would have been 28 years old in 1820, this male was most likely their youngest son and ninth child, William W. Carrington, who was unmarried. It also might have been a grandson, or a farm laborer or boarder living there to help out since Rev. Timothy was about 78 years old and reputedly in poor health when he was replaced as pastor of Lystra Primitive Baptist Church in 1819.

The female 26-45 was Sarah "Salley" Carrington, their fourth child, who never married.

Second son, Henson T. Carrington, lived two doors away. 25

Noted events in her life were:

In the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery, Winney registered as a citizen of Madison County and as a Revolutionary War widow. She won land lot 71 of the 5th district of Coweta County.

[Excerpt from the Preface of this book: "...Ten years of incessant labour, expense and travel throughout the State, have been cheerfully bestowed, and the "HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF GEORGIA" are the result.

    "No source of knowledge has been neglected or despised. The Libraries of Charleston, Savannah, Milledgeville, and New-York [sic], have been diligently searched.

    "The Colonial Documents kindly furnished me by the Legislature of Georgia, to aid in the compilation of this work, have been freely used. A large amount of information has been gleaned, moreover, from aged persons—'the oldest inhabitants' of many of our towns and villages—whose memories are proverbially tenacious in regard to events, which made their vivid impressions in early youth. This oral tradition, indeed, often furnishes the warm flesh and blood of the body of History, while documentary evidence can be relied on for the putting together of the dry skeleton alone.

    "Correctness rather than elegance has been the end chiefly sought; and the pains unsparingly taken give me a right to claim general reliability for all facts stated.

    "But in a field of original research, so new, so extended, and so largely unexplored before, it is too much to expect that entire freedom from error has been attained....

    This work does not assume to be a consecutive History. It is but a collection of materials for the use of the future historian....
