Hello, my Carrigan line has a William Carrigan that came from Co. Derry, Ireland, b. 1735, he was married to Elizabeth Brown. They had 4 sons, 3 were born in Ireland, and one was born in Orange Co. N.C. The youngest was named William, he was b. about 1773, in N.C. He died bt 1849 in Shipman, Illinois. This william was married to Abigail Kirk. There was another Carrigan family living around Coddle Creek, Cabarrus Co., N.C. at the same time. One of their sons was also named William, he was b. 26 Sep 1760, in Hawfields, N.C., he was married to Catherine Adams, he died 24 Nov 1844 in N.C. The only other William Carrigan that I could find was b. abt 1789 in N.C. I don't have a death date, his parents are connected to my line. His father was James Carrigan b. abt 1760, in Londonderry, Co. Derry, Ireland. His mother was Jane Sample b. abt 1754, in Washington Co. N.C. His grandfather was the same William Carrigan that I first wrote about, and his grandmother was Elizabeth Brown. Their children were Edward, John, and James, all were born in Londonderry, Ireland, their last child was William b. in N.C. I am sending you a transcription of an old family letter written by Carrie Carrigan Outhouse:
"Pa’s Grandfather William [Carrigan] and Grandmother Elisabeth came from Count Derry Ireland in the year 1766 with three boys. Edward, John and James. They started from Newry Ireland and landing in Philadelphia, PA. They lived there a short time. Then moved to Orange County, NC. Edward married in a few years after he married died left a wife and three children. John (Pa’s father) married Katherine Sample. ***
I will go back to his youngest brother James one of the boys that came from Ireland he married Jane Sample sister to Grandfathers wife he moved from NC to Warren County, TN (near Nashville) his oldest son was named William, next-Elisabeth next Mary, then John Sample and Milly. Elisabeth married a man by the name of Shadrick Lofton and Mary married James Mills. the rest of the family married (except William who died an old bachelor) but pa don’t know who they married. Now I will go back again . Edward the oldest who was born in Derry County near Londonberry Ireland in the year of 1753. John was born at the same place in the year 1756 20 March, died April the 3, 1826. John moved from Orange County, NC to Jackson County, GA near Jefferson then in 1817 he moved to ILL where he lived until he died. They were all three in the Revolutionary War. Edward was a private. John was a Commissary and James Captian. John was educated for a preacher but never preached always taught school." I hope this is some help, contact me if you think of anything else. Ben
