Searching for information on GOTTFRIED (KERCHER) CARRIGER, SR.. A Tennessee Historical Commission plaque "CARRIGER'S LANDING" now stands in the Hunter Community of Carter County documenting the CARRIGER family's mark on early Carter County history. Gottfried and Anna Margaratha Anspach CARRIGER had the following children: Nicholas, Michael, John, Elizabeth, Godfrey, Jr. and Christian. In 1811 Nicholas and Catherine CARRIGER and all of their known children moved to Lincoln County, Tennessee. Many of Nicholas's children later migrated into Greene County, Illinois. Christian and Levicy WARD CARRIGER had fourteen children, all of whom were born in Carter County. In 1842 Christian and Levicy and some of the younger children left Carter County and settled in Independence, Missouri. Nicholas CARRIGER (the son of Christian CARRIGER) became a selfmade historian having documented the events of the CARRIGER family to become the sixth family to "OVERLAND IN 1846". Other surnames connected to the Carriger marriage in Carter County are: William WARD & ANN VANDERPOOL - Teeter NAVE & Rebecca BOWERS , Isaac & Mary LINCOLN - Daniel & Phoebe STOVER - Mary "Molly" MORRELL - William or MARY FITZSIMMONS.

Gil Carrick Sat Aug 16 22:05:02 1997
In KY, a John Montgomery CARRICK, born 1775 in Barren Co. had several sons, including Moses C., b.c. 1798 and John Addison C., b. 1801, both probably in KY. There is considerable confusion about their spouses. It is thought that Moses first married Susan H. (or Susan S.) and John Addison married Emily ?. Later they all moved to near Sparta, White Co., TN, probably about 1810-1820. By 10 Aug 1843, Moses is apparently dead, John Addison married Susan CARRICK, evidently the wife of Moses, and Emily is never heard from again. We can find no marriage information for Moses & Susan nor for John Addison and Emily. Anything you can find on any of these marriages, births or deaths would be vastly appreciated. What we are really trying to find out, is which of these sets of parents are the parents of George Dawson C., b. 1830, our known ancestor. He is found living later with John Addison & Susan, but was he the child of Moses & Emmily, or Moses & Susan, or even John Addison & Susan?
