Alice Winston Carrington

"It is not certain just how the fortunes of the Carringtons began to decline. They were an open-handed, high-living, hospitable race. An older member of the family said several of the Carringtons would 'take a chance on creation.' It is also recalled that Halifax was a great horse county, and few of the estates were lacking in private tracks. Also, like many others of the day, these gentlemen had what Dr. Philip Alexander Bruce called 'the genial habit' of endorsing for some friend, ahabit, that ruined many of them."

A year after Walter Coles Carrington sold Long Branch Plantation, his wife Alice died. Her place of burial is not known; perhaps she was buried at Long Branch, where her two infant sons were doubtless buried. Another unkown is whether or not the Carringtons lived on at Long Branch after the sale, until her death.
