Charles CARRICO
Martha REASON

NOTICE: patrilineal descendants of our subject through three of his sons are participating in the CARRICO Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project. Test results for the descendants through sons Basil and Josiah support that Charles is a descendant of Peter CARRICO I, 1674 immigrant to Maryland. Their closest match (67/67) is with a descendant of James T. CARRICO (1764-1815) of Charles Co., MD, and Washington Co., KY. Charles and James are of an age to be brothers and appear to have been in Washington Co., KY, at the same time. [James remained in Washington County, while Charles moved on to Indiana.] Test results of the descendant through son, R eason, show he is not a genetic CARRICO. More cousins of this test subject need to be tested to pinpoint the location of the NPE, but apparently Reason was adopted, which resolves the long-standing issue of the births of Reason and Basil being too closely spaced.

Husband: Charles CARRICO / CARICO
Birth: 1770-75, Montgomery? Co., MD
Death: 1830-40, presumably in Sullivan Co., IN
Military Service: War of 1812: Pvt., Capt. Pierre Andre's Co., U.S. Mounted Rangers
Y-DNA Haplogroup: J-2a4b*, a.k.a., J-M67
Brother: Josiah CARRICO
Father: unknown, but genetically a descendant of Peter CARRICO I, 1674 immigrant to Maryland

Some secondary sources give Charles middle name, Joseph, but I have not found any primary record giving him a middle name or initial.
Many secondary sources make Charles the son of Basil CARRICO & Margaret __?__, but this connection has never been proven.

Marriage-1: ca. 1790

Wife-1: Martha REASON
Birth: ca. 1775

ATTENTION: I'm seeking a male surnamed REASON for Y-DNA testing, one who has some prospect of being kin to Martha, which means his earliest patrilineal ancestor needs to have lived somewhere Martha did. These locations are: Montgomery Co., MD, Washington Co., KY, or Sullivan Co., IN. Conditions are 1) that the test subject share his patrilineal line genealogy with me in sufficient detail that I'm convinced he is a likely prospect, 2) that the subject join the REASON project at FamilyTreeDNA, and 3) that the subject sign the Release allowing sharing of his results. Please note that public sharing of results does not mean public sharing of one's identity — the degree of privacy you wish to maintain is up to you. If you qualify or know someone who does, please contact me. I'm willing to subsidize half the cost of your testing.

Marriage-2(?):

Wife-2(?): Ms. __?__
Birth: 1780-90:

None of the near descendants of Charles give him more than one wife or more children than those named below. Are the woman and children with Charles in the 1830 census not his wife and children?

Adopted Child:

. Reason CARRICO, b. 8 Feb 1794, KY

Reason's given name suggests he might be kin of Martha. He cannnot be Martha's child because his birthdate is too close to that of her son, Basil (see below). DNA testing shows he is not Charles's son.

Children with Martha REASON:

1. Charles CARRICO, Jr., b. ca. 1792
2. Basil CARRICO, b. 11 May 1794, KY
3. Nancy CARRICO, b. ca. 1798, Washington Co., KY

— born in Knox Co., Indiana Territory [now Sullivan Co., IN]:
4. Catherine CARRICO, b. 15 Jan 1801
5. Josiah CARRICO, b. 1803/4
6. Margaret CARRICO, b. 1804/5

Children with Wife-2(?):

8? (Daughter A) CARRICO, b. 1810-20
9? (Daughter B) CARRICO, b. 1820-25
10? (Daughter C) CARRICO, b. 1820-25
11? (Daughter D) CARRICO, b. 1825-30

The average maximum span of fecudity for a woman is 23 years (from age 20 to age 43). Even if we make "Daughter D" born in 1825, that is still 33 years between her and Charles Jr., and it could be as much as 38 years. Given that the wife in the 1830 census is younger than Martha could be, it seems that either Charles had a second wife or the woman and children with him in the 1830 census are not his wife and children.
