Alexander CARRICO, the child of John Conley CARRICO and Elizabeth HALBERT, was born April 8, 1816, in Canaan Township, Athens, Athens County, Ohio, and married Cassandra Margaret SMITH, September, 15, 1864, in Macoupin County, Illinois. It is not known that he was married prior to this or not, but it is suspected. The reason: He has a child, Mary J. Carrico living with him in 1860 and 1865 who was born ca. 1857. She is identified as his daughter. After Alexander CARRICO died in 1874, his widow, Cassandra Margaret SMITH CARRICO married Josiah G. HARLAN, on April 10, 1877, officiated at by Rev. Levin L. HARLAN, a cousin of Josiah's. To this union was born Cassandra Josephine HARLAN, November 16, 1879. She lived 3 months, and 4 days and died February 20, 1880, of acute bronchitis. Josiah G. HARLAN died February 22, 1880, in Chesterfield Township, Macoupin County, Illinois. He, as well as his father and mother were born in Kentucky. Josiah was 42 years old and had been a resident of Macoupin County for 24 years. He died of pulmonary consumption, stated Dr. C. H. Murphy. It is claimed that Josiah G. HARLAN was a cousin to Alexander CARRICO. If the above paragraph means anything to you, please write. I have some information to exchange on the CARRICO / HARLAN / SMITH line. John D.
