Biography

Private John Carriel served with Worcester County Militia, Massachusetts Militia during the American Revolution.

John Carriel is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A019777.

John was born 13 April 1736 at Sutton, the son of Samuel Carriel and Rebecca Elliot.^[1][2]

John Carriel and Tamar King married 12 Dec 1765 in Sutton, Massachusetts Bay.^[3][4]

John Carriel and Tamar King had four children, born at Sutton, Massachusetts:

1. Hannah, Carriel, b. 29 Jun 1768^[5]
2. John Carriel, b. 20 Jun 1774^[6]
3. Henry Carriel, b. 17 Nov 1775^[7]and
4. Tamar King Carriel, b. 03 Nov 1781^[8]

The family lived at Sutton. "John married Tamar King 12 December 1765. Tamar's father, Henry King, was representative in the General Court, and on 11 January 1773 was instructed to make 'humble and urgent' protest to his Majesty. He was many times a representative in the legislature and a delegate to the Provincial Congress. Years ago, I saw the house in Sutton where John and Tamar lived when he answered the Lexington alarm. They were too late. The British had left Lexington and Concord. But John must have been one of the 16,000 who marched to defend Boston; and so was Jonathan. When John left for Lexington, Hannah, his oldest child, was six and John, his second child, was ten months old. Whether Tamar duly appreciated his patriotism is not told."^[9]

"The History of Sutton, say os John Carriel's later years: 'Between Sherman's and the new road to Manchaug stood an old gamble-roofed house owned and occupied by John Carriel. He was a very eccentric ma, who use to go to Boston with his team that sometimes consisted of a steer and cow yoked together. He became quite lame and used to ride on the neap of his wagon. On his way home one night he lost off one of the hind wheels, and the axle-tree dragged on the ground the rest of the way. He became so lame tat he had to work sitting. He would hoe in the fields and thresh in the barn, sitting in a chair. He is remembered as walking with a wooden shovel for a staff."^[10]

John died at Sutton in 1823 at the age of 87.
