Abel CARRICO II
Nancy Ann KENT

Husband: Abel CARRICO II
Birth: 21 Jun 1744, Trinity Parish, Charles Co., MD
Death said to be: 1834 — he lived to be 90?!
Father: Abel CARRICO I
Mother: Elizabeth SIMMS

Marriage:

Wife: Nancy Ann KENT
Birth: bef. 1750
Death said to be: 1830-34, but she is not with Abel in the 1820 census
Father: Benoni KENT
Mother: Jean __?__

Children — born in VA:

1. William CARRICO, b. 1766/7
2. Peter CARRICO, b. 1770/1
3. Susanna CARRICO, b. ca. 1775
4. Sarah "Sally" CARRICO, b. ca. 1778; m. Isaac MOORE
5. Abel CARRICO III, b. 1780/1
6. Joseph CARRICO, b. 1784
7. Nancy CARRICO, b. 1788/9
8. Simms CARRICO, b. 1790/93

Several of these children are often attributed to Abel's parents, but Abel's parents were married by at least 1730, so it's very unlikely that Abel's mother was still having children in 1766/7, much less in the 1770s, '80s, or '90s. Nancy was only just young enought to be Simms's mother.

It's difficult to reconcile Susannah's marriage in MD with the fact that the family apparently moved to Grayson Co., VA, 30 years earlier.
