Margaret Irvin (Sullivant) Carrington was the first wife of Col. Henry Beebe Carrington. She was present at Fort Phil Kearny when the Fetterman Massacre occurred on December 21st, 1866. She authored the book 'Absaraka; Home of the Crows' which was first published in 1868 based upon her first-hand experiences of the time spent at Ft. Phil Kearny.

From her husband's Yale University obituary:
"He married, December 11, 1851, Margaret Irvin, eldest daughter of Joseph Sullivant, a scientist of Cleveland, Ohio, and a cousin of his classmate, Basil Duke, and granddaughter of Colonel Joseph McDowell of Danville, Ky. They had two daughters and four sons, of whom only one son, James B Carrington, who was for three years a student in Wabash College, survives. Another son was a graduate of Wabash College in 1879.

Mrs Carrington died at Crawfordsville, Ind, in 1870"
