I have in front of me HeritageQuest Onlines - Books Image that I haven't shared with you. I'm not sure what book it was taken from...just titled "Carrington".

Noadiah seventh child of Dr. Peter and Ann was born Dec. 12, 1706 in Woodbridge, Conn. Note: Noadiah was my 6th great grand uncle. Also need to check up on Benjamin Lines. His name is very familiar. Anna and Benjamine had a son Benjamin who is my 6th great grand uncle.He married Hannah daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Barnes) Moulthrop who was born Apr. 10, 1709 at East Haven.

Dr. Elias Carrington was one of the founders of the New Haven Medical Soc. in 1784. He did a large professional business. In 1852 a monument was erected in Milford, Conn. to the memory of 46 American soldiers who with their companions were set ashore there by an English ship. Forty six died for small pox and were buried in one common grave. Dr. Carrington and Capt. Stowe volunteered to accompany the sick soldiers to a temporary hospital that was erected for them and help tend them.

The following account is given in New Haven Historical Papers, 'In Dec. 1776 shortly before night there appeared off the harbor of Milford a British vessel, carrying at her fore a flag of truce; darkness increasing she was soon lost sight of. Near to the beach was the house of Capt. Isaac Miles (my third cousin 7x removed) an earnest patriot, who with his sons was sitting before his fire, hearing unusual sounds outside he opened the door and found the yard filled with a large number of wild, forlorn looking creatures in a most deplorable condition, suffering for want of food and clothing. On that bitter winter night they had been turned ashore from that ship and left on the beach to shift for themselves. The Miles family and neighbors sheltered these released American prisons, and in a a day or two they were removed to the Town Hall which was prepared for them and in this building these men were stricken with fever and died, as well has Stephen Stowe who contract it while in attendance upon them;
