Morton wasn't even a Preston Co native. His family was from Maine. Morton lists Malinda/ Verlinda Carrico and Ann Eliza Carrico who married Thomas Hebb as daughters of Francis Carrico but their parents were actually Peter & Catharine Carrico as shown by more reliable sources. The general opinion is that there are many errors in Morton's book. >Carol Mitchell, I recall, had some information on Monica several month's ago. >(personal letter -not on this List). Hope she will share it with us all. So do I. >Back to Peter Carrico b. 1722 Md.----there lies my problem. Your census >of 1810 has "P.

Does this make sense??? The 1810 Monongalia Co WV census shows 1 male (rather than female) 10-16 in the household of P(eter) Carrico. This Peter is of a later generation than Peter Jr born 1722. He may be the son of Peter Jr. This is what I'm trying to determine. He is apparently the Peter Carrico mentioned by Morton as being a brother of Francis and Catharine. The children of Peter Carrico Jr b 1722 may (and I stress may) have included: Joseph b 1744, Monica (assuming she is a sister of Catharine) b 1740's? m John Turton Goff, Alexander b 1750 m Mary Sedgewick, Peter [III-my designation] b sometime before 1765 m Catharine ______, Francis, Catharine b 1765-75 m James Goff, others. Morton states Peter, Francis & Catharine had four brothers--one settled in Culpeper Co VA, one settled [or remained?] in Charles Co MD and one settled in KY [Alexander?]. The fourth brother is apparently Joseph whom Morton does not name. BTW, does anyone have a list of the children of Peter Sr's son John who married Monica ______? The Homer Edwin Carrico material only names one known child, a son James. >I have the book Aurora Documents by (he preferred "translated") Carl >Gower/Gauer? Ana Elisa Carrico's baptism is in the book. (Lutheran >Church Records of Aurora, Preston Co., WVa.) I have this book also (the author is Karl Gower) and made an every name index to it. Daniel & Malinda/Verlinda Wotring are referred to as Daniel & Linni, Daniel & Worlinda, Daniel & Worlindra and Daniel & Worlintra in the baptismal records. Remember, these records were translated from the German. In my extractions of the Preston Co vital records 1853-1860 (this was almost a translation also), I found some names were used interchangeably. These include Malinda and Belinda, Louisa and Eliza, Christian and Christopher, Jehu and John and sometimes Daniel and David. >Have fun all!!! >Carolyn You, too. Hope I have been of some help. (I probably just have enough knowledge of the Carricos to make me dangerous!)
