Here is the complete biography:
YALE COLLEGE, CLASS OF 1822
GEORGE CARRINGTON, son of James and Huldah (Ford) Carrington, was born in Canaan, Connecticut, on June 28, 1796. His residence was in Woodbridge while in College; it had previously been in Huntington.
He studied theology in the Yale Divinity School from 1823 to 1826, being licensed to preach by the Fairfield East Association in the summer of 1825.
He was ordained as an Evangelist by the Fairfield East Consociation on October 4, 1826; and after brief engagements elsewhere, began to supply in October, 1828, the newly organized Congregational Church in the northern part of Goshen, over which he was installed on August 27, 1829.
He was dismissed from this parish in September, 1833, and on February 25, 1835, was installed in Hadlyme parish, on the borders of Lyme and Haddam, as colleague to the Rev. Joseph Vaill (Dartmouth Coll. 1778).
On June 17, 1835, he married Catharine, second daughter of the Rev. Frederick Marsh (Yale 1805), of Winchester.
Mr. Vaill died in 1838, and he resigned his charge at Hadlyme on February 22, 1842, with the purpose of emigrating to the West; and in April, 1843, he proceeded as far as Peoria, Illinois. There he accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church in Rushville, but before his installation had taken place, he died in Rushville, of bilious fever, on October 31, 1843, in his 48th year.
His wife survived him, with their children, two sons and a daughter. The elder son was graduated at Williams College in 1861.
Mrs. Carrington died in West Winston on February 19, 1883, in her 71st year.
