Robert was the final child born to Judge Paul Sr. and Priscilla Sims Carrington. Upon the death of his father in 1818, Robert inherited his birth place, "Mulberry Hill". He married Joanna Tyler Bouldin, daughter of Judge Thomas T. Bouldin of "Golden Hills" in Charlotte County on 3/17/1823. They continued to reside in VA during the economic boom in land, cotton and slaves. In 1835 with an eye on pioneering to the west in the Territory of Arkansas, Robert sold his ancestral home to his brother, Clement, and laid plans to trek to newly opened lands. Arkansas was admitted as a state in 1836. By 1837 he and his family were living in Hempstead County where he had purchased tracts of land to create the future "Caruse" Plantation. He also purchased land in Lafayette County and established a plantation in "Lost Prarie" next to Robert Hamilton. This embarcation coincided with the Panic of 1837 that resulted from a severe retraction of specie and a resultant devaluation in land, slaves & cotton. By 1845 Robert was heavily in debt. He had mortgaged his plantations and slaves earlier to attempt to weather the financial crisis. Unfortunately he died in Feb. and Joanna was left to struggle trying to salvage the estate from the creditors with the help of her brother, Wood Bouldin, Judge, VA Ct. of Appeals for Halifax County, and her son-in-law, Albert Rust. She eventually relocated to Union County, AK. They had 13 children which included the following: Jane, Priscilla S., Dr. John Sims, Thomas T.Bouldin., Melinda, Paul and Ann.
