  JAMES CARRINGTON James and Elizabeth (?) Carrington moved from South Carolina to Roane County, Tennessee, about 1824. They raised a family of 10 children in Roane County. The oldest son, John Jackson "Jack" married Hannah J. Burke on September 30, 1846. In the 1850's, Jack and Hannah with others from Roane County traveled by flatboat to Decatur County. In 1861, Jack, along with other Decatur Countians, enlisted in the Confederate Army. Records show that he served in Co. G of the 27th Infantry as a private and a sergeant. After the Civil War Jack moved his family to Perry County where records show him paying taxes on land along the Deer Creek in District 4. While in Perry County Hannah died and was buried in a cemetery near where they lived on Deer Creek. Their family consisted of 5 sons: Isaac, Mark Madison, James, John Jackson Jr., Thomas, and 2 daughters: Sarah and Susan. After Hannah's death, Jack married Mary Ann McMurry in Decatur County. Mary Ann McMurray was the daughter of Robert and his wife Frances A. Runnels McMurray. Shortly after that he sold out in Perry County and bought land in the 6th district of Decatur County. All of his sons moved to Decatur County with him. Jack, Mary Ann , their daughter Lular and his youngest son, Thomas are all buried in the McMurray Cemetery near Cross Roads. Two of Jack's sons, James and Isaac, moved to Henderson County while Mark "Bunk" and John Jr. remained in Decatur County. Before leaving Perry County, Mark Madison married Barbara Ann Gibson. They settled in District 6 of Decatur County. Their children were Hannah Box, William Thomas, Susan C. Davis, Fredona C. Rainbolt, Henry Harrison,and John Pinkney. After Barbara Ann's death in 1902, Mark Madison married Cordealie Kilmer. Their children were Laura Dill, Leander, Lucy Garvey, Jimmy Hobart, and Myrtle Maness. Mark Madison died in 1928 and is buried at Bible Hill with his first wife Barbara Ann. William Thomas married Martha Almarene Morgan in 1899.
