| WARNING: it's a stretch to turn
CARY into CARRICO, so this may not be our subject. However, based
on his bio, Dennis should be in Pennsylvania, and secondary sources do
have him marrying Jane CLARK ca. 1803 in Bucks Co., PA. If Dennis
was unmarried or a widower in 1800, we would not expect him to be enumerated,
at all, but if he was married, we would. While the husband in this
record could have been old enough to have a child born by 1790, it would
have been a real stretch for the wife to have a child that old, so I'm
assuming he is not their child; and if the husband was Dennis, he was too
young. Also, if the male born before 1790 was their son, we would
expect there to have been more than two children born in the decade between
1790 and 1800. |

CARRICO, JOHN O...
was the eighth of a family of fourteen
children, and was born in St. Louis Co., Missouri, February 28, 1819.
His father, Dennis Carrico, was a native of Frederick
County, Maryland. At an early age he became apprenticed to the trade
of a
wheelwright, and subsequently became a skillful journeyman
workman; attaining his majority, he set out for Pennsylvania, where
he worked as a journeyman, and here formed the acquaintance of and married
Miss Jane Clark, in
1813 ; in
order to better his condition in life, he determined to adopt the West
as his future home, and accordingly made his way to Kentucky, where he
engaged in his occupation as wheelwright. It was during the year
1813,
that he became a resident of St. Louis Co., Mo., at a period of time, when
the entire commerce of the city of St. Louis scarcely footed up to the
insignificant sum of $100,000. Hearing many glowing accounts of the
fertility of Illinois, thither he directed his footsteps, and landed in
that portion of Southern Illinois, then known as Greene County, since set
apart and forming a portion of Jersey County; he necessarily lived a life
of frugality for many a year, until such time as emigration flowed rapidly
westward, although in after years he became moderately successful as an
agriculturist, and became extensively known as a surveyor; his long and
useful life ended in 1850 and his ashes
repose in the Thompson cemetery, in Greene County. Mrs. Carrico passed
to that world of spirits to which we are all traveling, in 1834,
and the survivors of the family, few in number, now reside in different
parts of the Union... |
| This bio may have been OCR'd because it has four glaring
errors (when compared with other sources): John's middle initial,
Dennis's marriage year to Jane CLARK, Dennis's death year, and Jane's death
year. The initial 1813 date has to be wrong (it was probably 1803),
if for no other reason than that it's internally inconsistent with the
narative. I can come up with a list of fourteen children, based on
the censuses, but John comes out the 11th, not the 8th, unless he was not
born in 1819. |
