About Paul Carrington

"CARRINGTON, Paul, statesman, was born in Virginia, March 16, 1733; son of George and Anne (Mayo) Carrington, and grandson of Dr. Paul and Henningham (Codrington) Carrington. About 1748 he went to the part of Lunenburg which afterwards became Charlotte county, Va., and studied law under Col. Clement Read. He began to practice in 1754, and was licensed in 1755. He was married, Oct. 1, 1755, to Margaret, daughter of Col. Clement Read, and in 1756 he was appointed king's attorney of Bedford county. He was made major of militia in 1761, and colonel in 1764. He represented Charlotte county in the house of burgesses from its formation in March, 1765, until 1775. In 1772 he became county lieutenant and presiding justice of Charlotte county, and in the same year was clerk of Halifax county. He was a member of all the conventions from 1774 to 1776, and was chairman of the Charlotte county committee which endorsed the resolutions of the late Continental Congress. He was also a member of the first and second state committees of safety, 1775-76. On Jan. 23, 1778, he was elected judge of the first general court, and filled the office until 1807. He died at Charlotte county, Va., Jan. 23, 1818."
