She died at "Springfield", Prince Edward County, VA. The following is a description given of her in the 1925 Venables of Virginia book. "A woman of uncommon vivacity, wit and power of sarcasm. She added to these gifts with great practical judgement which she displayed in the management of her household, and the rearing of her large family,-and all was crowned and chastened by earnest piety. In powers of conversation she is said to have had few equals. Her company was always enjoyed on account of her bright wit and amusing criticisms on men, and passing events. She frequently visited Virginia Springs where she was usually surrounded by groups of young people entertained by her conversation. Her fame was so great that she was often referred as "John Randolph in petticoats." By her will she left considerable household chattles in "Springfield" to her numerous children. "Springfield" , the plantation located near Worsham, gifted out of "Slate Hill" property by her father, was lost to fire in 1877. He was the son of "Coronel (County Militia)" George & Anne Mayo Carrington of "Boston Hill", Cumberland County, VA. At "Boston Hill" Paul was home tutored and later studied law under Col. Clement Read, his future father-in-law. His license to practice law was signed May of 1756 by Peyton Randolph, John Randolph & George Wythe & in that year Lt. Gov. Dinwiddie appointed him "King's Attorney" for Bedford County which position he also held later for Mecklenburg and Lunenburg Counties. For the years 1765-1776 he was elected to the House of Burgesses and subsequently was appointed to the House of Delegates. Additionally he was a member of the Virginia Revolutionary Conventions of 1775 & 76 and served in the VA Senate for 1776 & 1778. His other appointments included membership on the powerful VA Committee of Safety. In 1779 he was appointed 2nd Judge of the General Court from which post he was elevated to Judge of the Court of Appeals. In 1789 he was elected Judge of the reorganized Court of Appeals from which post he resigned in 1807. He helped to found the Prince Edward Academy in 1775 later renamed Hampden-Sydney College and served as a trustee for 43 years. His home and the seat of his extensive holdings was named "Mulberry Hill". It eventually encompased over 2,800 acres. Other lands were purchased and provided to his children. There were two marriages, (1) 1755-Margaret Read (died May 1766) & (2) 1792-Priscilla Sims (died-1803). Both wives are buried in the plantation cemetery. A child not shown below is Martha Carrington (infant death). [S84] Rootsweb, http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/read/VAPRINCE/2007-06/1182732188-01. Watkins - Booker marriage note.
