About Edward Carrington

Edward Carrington was a lawyer, planter, Continental Army officer and politician from central Virginia. During the American Revolutionary War he became a close friend of George Washington. Although his highest rank was lieutenant colonel of artillery in the Continental Army, Carrington distinguished himself as quartermaster general in General Nathanael Greene’s southern campaign. He commanded artillery at Monmouth and Yorktown. He was also present at Cowpens, Guilford Court House, and Hobkirk's Hill. Carrington also served in the 3rd Continental Congress and several times in the Virginia House of Delegates, and later became the first US Marshal appointed from his state and served a term as mayor of Richmond, Virginia. He was an original member of the Society of the Cincinnati.
