Some secondary sources refer to our subject as "James T. CARRICO" and others as "James M. CARRICO."   As far as I know, there is no contemporary document that ever showed him with a middle initial.  If you have one, please share.

Some sources give James a son, Cornelius CARRICO, but no Cornelius is mentioned in the inventory of James's estate.

p. 117	Land Records, Liber V, No. 3, Page 520.   Jan 6, 1781 from James Carrico of Peter of CC, to Arthur Smoot of CC, for 3300 lbs of neet crop tobacco, part of a tract of land in CC called Maidstone, bounded by Hunts Venter, containing about 12 acres.  Signed - James (P his mark) Carricoe of Peter.  Wit - Joshua Sanders, John Morton (CC JPs).  Elizabeth, wife to the sd James Carricoe, relinquished her right of dower to the the lands within mentioned.  Recorded feb 19, 1781.

The two entries on p. 106 don't make sense.  How could Richard Carnes sell the same piece of land to two different people on the same day?  The two entries are almost exactly the same, except for the purchaser.  And to add to the confusion, Samuel Hanson sold part of Maidstone to Richard Carnes in August of 1779 (see land records of James's father, Peter). Is this transcriber error?

Elizabeth is not mentioned as giving up her right of dower.  I wonder if she has died.

p. 20	Land Records, Liber K, No.3, Page 82. Mar 24, 1790 from William Hagon (Hagan) of William, and Jospeh Hagon of John, of CC, to James Carrico (Carricoe) of Peter, of CC, for 8000 lbs of tobacco, 100 acres in CC, being part of a tract of land called Saint James, lying in CC.  Signed - Wm Hagan, Jos Hagan of Jno.  Wit - Ben Dyson*, Alexr McPherson*.  Recorded Jun 8, 1790.

Callico, James, of Peter	Charles Co.	MD	01-03-05-00-03
Callico, James	Charles Co.	MD	03-01-04-00-00
Callico, James	Charles Co.	MD	01-02-01-00-01

These data indicate:

Gender and Type	Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
1 free white males	16 or over	in or bef. 1774	= James (b. bef. 1743)
3 free white males	15 or under	1774-1790	= James? = John Martin? = Alexander?
5 free white females	all ages	in or bef. 1790	= Elizabeth = Deborah = Theresa = Margaret = Priscilla
3 slaves	all ages	in or bef. 1790	= ? ? ?

Tabitha is married, so presumably the five females are Elizabeth and the four other daughters.  But we are short three sons.  It's reasonable that Vincent may already be in Kentucky, as he marries there in 1791.  But where are Walter and Dennis?  Or is it really the youngest three who are at home?  Were any of the boys sent off to Catholic boarding school?  This family appears to be well off, so I presume they could have afforded to send their children off to school.

These data indicate:

No. & Sex	Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
1 male	10-15	1784-1790	= Alexander?
1 male	16-25	1774-1784	= John Martin?
1 female	16-25	1774-1784	= Priscilla?
2 females	26-44	1755-1774	= Margaret? = Mary Anna
5 slaves	all ages	in or bef. 1800	= ? ? ? ? ?

No children were born between 1790 and 1800, which may mean Elizabeth died ca. 1790-91.  On the other hand, she was in her 40s or 50s in 1790, so had probably ended her reproductive years.  For whatever reason, James and Mary Anna apparently had no children (at least, no surviving children) during their three years of marriage.  With the death, now, of both their parents, most of the children appear to have left, even several of the unmarried ones.
