Re: Enoch Herrington b.about 1790 Georgia/N.carolina Message: I show Charles born about 1738, Craven County, North Carolina and died 1822 in Mississippi which matches my other family names. At one point I found census records of a Charles Harrington with a William Herrington, Sr. b abt 1755 in Craven North Carolina. However, I lost my documentation. I'm pretty sure it was the 1800 census. I found a Charles Harrington yesterday on the 1790 census for Craven County. Haven't come up with anything yet on John Harrington from South Carolina. Essentially I get leads from the internet (oftern inaccurate) then go chase them down in the genealogy libraries. I am going again today and will update if I find anything. Here is what I have for Charles Harrington's children, which I knew for sure the source.
