• Notes

  Paul S. Carrington, son of Paul Carrington Jr. and Mildred H. Coles Carrington of "Sylvan Hill" was married to Emma Catherine Cabell 5/9/1826 in Richmond. She was the daughter of Gov. William H. Cabell & Agnes Belle Gamble. He and his wife first moved to Staunton where he practiced law but in 1828 he & Emma moved to a cottage on his inherited land and built "Ridgeway". He used many local materials to construct the original Georgian style brick "big house" which was completed in 1829. They had eight children to include six sons, all of whom served in the Confederate Army. In addition to the service of the sons, they supported the war effort through the purchase of bonds and the supply of material and labor. Paul was spared the spector of a raid or destruction of his home from Grant's and Sherman's pincer operation by the Appomattox surrender. Emma and her daughter, Adaline Mayo Carrington, managed to retain the 1174 acre "Ridgeway" after the death of Paul in 1866 and managed it up until Emma's 1887 death. Their children were: Isaac Howell, Robert Gamble, William Allen (M.D.), Abram Cabell, Alexander Broadnax (Reverend), Edgar Wirt, Louisa Cabell and Adaline Mayo.  [2]
