Hi Jennifer,
I'm also the direct descendent of John and Joan Carrington. They were my eighth great grandparents. Likewise, I'm also descended from Rachel Andrus, who was married to Samuel Orvis, whose last name was carried down through my line of the Carrington family and was my great grandfather's middle name. Which of their children are you descended from? I'm also descended from John and Joan's other child, John (II). John (II)'s and his sister, Rebecca's lines merged a few generations later with a direct descendant of each marrying one another. I'm descended from that line, which makes me double witchy, I guess. ;)
