Freeman Cary

acpoole57 — 2013-03-26 16:39:36Z

Am trying to find out or verify that John V Cary & Nancy Agnes Allison (Hopson/Cary/Strong) are the parents of Freeman Cary, born 11/9/1835 in Knox Cnty, OH and died 3/19/1911 in Greeley, NE. John V Cary 12/27/1817 Geauga, Know Cnty, OH - 7/20/1835 Knox Cnty, OH, married Agnes Allison Feb 12, 1835. Agnes married first Calvin Hopson 3/3/1831, and had daughter Calista Hopson 1832-1868, Agnes then married John Cary, had Freeman, and then Agnes married William Strong 12/27/1838 and had 4 children.

I cannot get past John V Cary, possible father David Cary?

Any help appreciated.

I am also researching this Freeman Cary, as his son Elmer Levi Cary ties into the Hemenway line. Have you been able to find his parents? I think they may be John & Nancy Allison, Nancy married 1st Calvin Hopson, 2nd John Cary, 3rd William Strong.

Elmer & Mary are brother & sister and I have pictures of them both.

Do you know Freeman's parents, grandparents and back, am trying to tie them into the Cary/Carey's of America.

Thanks, Alvin

Re: Cary family of Portarlington, Ireland

JayJH — 2013-03-26 04:33:47Z

There must have been a mix up in some of the family stories about Arthur Cary, because he wasn't Earl of Huntingsdon. The Earldom of Huntingdon has been in the Hastings family since 1529.
Among the Carys we find Lords (Baron) Hunsdon, Earls Dover, Baron Carey ->Earl Monmouth, Viscounts Falkland, some Baronets and a lot of Knights.

I'm looking for any family of John Cary or his sister Angela Cary (I believe these to be the correct names). They would have been born in the 1930's. Their mother was Eleanor and their father was Gustavus Cary.

Just a note they were the second family of Gustavus as Eleanor threw out all the children from the first marriage.

I really appreciate your response with the reference. I located the will yesterday in the magazine and printed it. Unfortunately, it did not reveal anything new.

Though it mentioned his land in Gloucester County, which is what I was interested in, it did not disclose anything about how it was acquired. I know from his 1744 patent that it included the original patent acquired by Richard Pate in 1650.

Colonel Wilson Cary died in December, 1772. His will, 1772, is given in full in the Virginia Historical Magazine, Volume X, page 189, et seq. Among other items, he bequeaths the following:

"I give to my dear Nephew, Colonel Cary Selden, fifty Pounds current Money, in full of all demands he may have upon me & it is my farther will that if he should not otherwise be able to reimburse himself for the loss he hath sustained in some Carolina money he had to dispose of for me (tho' I think Colo. Lem'l Riddick is liable for the same) that he may be indemnified and paid out of My estate.

"My Nephew Colo. Cary Selden 50 pounds, one ring that must not be excepted, which at all events I desire to be a handsome one, and presented to my dear Sister Selden [Mrs. Joseph Selden] as a small token of the affectionate regard I bear to her. * * * grandson Miles Cary * * * Sister Anne Whiting * * * son-in-law Richard Nicholas * * * My kinsman Richard Cary of Warwick executors."

Perhaps you can obtain the full will from the Virginia Historical Society--good luck

Col. Wilson Cary, died 1772 in Virginia

a12j02 — 2012-09-22 01:59:24Z

I would like to see a transcription of the will of Col. Wilson Cary. He died on 28 Nov. 1772 at Ceeleys Plantation, Elizabeth City County, Virginia. He had left a will on 10 Oct 1772 at Elizabeth City County, Virginia, which was proved on 25 Feb 1778. It is noted on the Internet that this will was in the county records.

I would appreciate it if someone could post his will on this forum, or provide me with an Internet link to it. I have searched at length on the Internet, have found many references to the will, but not the will itself.

Beside the Ceelys Plantation of 2000 acres, he and his wife, Sarah Pate, also owned the 4000-acre Richneck Plantation in Warwick County, Virginia.

I have a lot of information on this family which I will be pleased to share.

He married Mary Odgen in Monroe County, NY 1835 and moved to Illinois in 1847 where they settled in Kaneville, Ill. Bela was one of 13 children born to John and Lydia, his younger sister Susan Cary was my 5th Great Grandmother (married Andrew Stangland and moved to Indiana). Most of the Cary family immigrated to Indiana/Illinois/Michigan and a few of the sons (Richard, Ozro and Alexander) remained in New York.

Re: Cary Family in Madison & Onondaga County, NY

mainewayne — 2012-05-26 18:39:56Z

My Cary family resided in the Village of Liverpool, Town of Salina, and Onondaga CO., NY. My 2nd GGmother was Maria Cary who married Charles Cogswell, and I believe that she was the daughter of Seth A. Cary. Seth was an original member of the Liverpool Methodist Episcopal Church formed in 1820.

There is a Seth A. Cary listed on the census for 1830, 1840 ("Carey") and 1850 in the Town of Salina- possibly Maria's father: Seth A. Cary, 39; Elsa, 37; George A. 14; Martha J. 7; Sabina M. (Maria?). 4; Mary L. 11; he is a laborer and all b. NY. Could Sabina M. be Maria?

1855 NY Census had Seth A. Carey (45, b. Cayuga Co), Elsa (42, b. Rensselaer Co), George (19), Mary (17), Martha (12), Maria (8), Lydia (1); children b. Onondaga Co., NY.

Does anyone have any additional information about this family? I have been unable to locate anything else.

Re: Cary Family in Madison & Onondaga County, NY

PaulaCary31 — 2012-05-25 21:23:09Z

Hi Kevin,

I was wondering if you had any John Cary in your research born between 1770-1790 give or take somewhere in New York.

My third great grandfather, Joshua Cary, would be his son. Joshua was born in 1808 in Albany County and lived his adult life in Otsego County. The only thing I know about his parents is: John Cary & Minnie Weldon/Waldon?. Both born in New York. Minnie possibly in Oneida county. My guess is between the years of 1770-1790 in order to be Joshua's parents.

I'm trying to track down any possibilities so I can cross them off. John Cary being a common name back then. There are a lot to shuffle through. So if you have any information, that would be great.

Thanks
Paula Cary

Thank you so much. My interest largely in the Cary folk in St. Mary Parish. Knew Miss Marietta Cary--lived with aunt(?), Lillian Doran. Grandfather was Samuel Cary; only son and M.'s father was Washington Cary?--married Betty Bedell?--parents of Sam and Marietta? Was there also a daughter, Augusta? Samuel (1816-1903)---rather old for cavalry. Wife was Elinora? And am very curious about Richard C. Cary; also how J. D. Bedell comes in. Will explain my interest in detail when there is more space.

John Cary (Rensselaer and Columbia Counties, NY)

PaulaCary31 — 2012-05-10 19:52:15Z

My great-great-great grandfather, Joshua Cary was born 1808 in Albany County, NY and lived all his adult life in Otsego County, NY. His father was John Cary who was born in New York possibly between the years 1765-1790.

I have searched many different families and tried to get a connection to any John Cary's. I haven't found any information on a John Cary in Albany or Otsego County; therefore, I've decided to look into the counties surrounding Otsego and Albany Counties and the census' between 1800-1830. The last census I have with Joshua in it is 1840 and his first child was born in 1831. So in 1830 and before that he must have been with his parents or a family member.

I've found a John Cary in the 1810 census of Hillsdale, Columbia, NY with one son and a daughter. The son is in the right age group to be my Joshua Cary. Then in 1820 I found another John Cary in Pettersburg, Rensselaer, NY with 2 sons and one daughter. One son being in the right age group to be my Joshua Cary. I guess John could have moved in the 10 years. I would like to know if this is the same John Cary in both census' and if anyone has any more information about him and his family. Or any suggestions where I can find more information that may lead me to know if he's the John I'm looking for or if I can cross him off my list too. I don't know where he is in 1830 or where he was in 1800. Any help would be great.

Thanks

To TomkinsJm---I have checked with my records and thought you might like to have the following. You may already have this-- However here it is----the original Cary of my ancestry to come from England was Samuel Cary who fell in love with his cousin Margaret ---unable to marry in England, they came to US. They had a son, Richard Simon/Seaman Cary, who married Judith Bird/Baird/Beard. This union produced nine children according to my records. They are (not in birth order as far as I know), but here they are; Thomas S., Alvin/Abraham, Elizabeth, Catherine, Richard C.M., Anthony Bird (my ancestor),Joshua B., Samuel and William Slanderwick. I have dates of birth and death for some of these, but this posting is a bit long, so if you are interested , I can post them later for you.

Thanks---you have a lot of information regarding the Cary Family. Samuel was one of the brothers who migrated from New York as you know. Joshua was another one of those siblings. In Centerville LA, there is the Joshua Cary home, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Homes---it seems that Joshua and at least some of his brothers were engaged in the lumber business here in Louisiana. There is a branch of Carys in the Jennings .LA area who are descended from Joshua.
Always interested in hearing from someone with Cary connections!

Samuel Cary, pvt in Co. C, 2nd LA Cavalry. POW paroled May 26, 1865. I knew a Miss Marietta Cary in Franklin many years ago, granddaughter of Elinora Cary and I presume Samuel Cary and daughter of Washington Cary whose wife was Betty Bedell. Marietta had a brother, Sam, who died young, leaving no heirs. There was, I believe, an Augusta Cary, perhaps the sister of Washington Cary.

There was a Joshua Cary...not sure where or if he fits in.

Re: Cary Family in Madison & Onondaga County, NY

ElsiePrejean51 — 2012-05-07 04:06:34Z

Although I do not have my records at hand, I can tell you that these people are my ancestors---another brother, Anthony Bird Cary also migrated to Louisiana, and became my great, great grandfather. I have in the records that a Samuel Cary was captured in the Civil War, having fought in the Battle of Port Hudson, near Baton Rouge, LA. he evidently survived and lived to a ripe old age! As I get into my records, I will be able to provide more information. Hope this helps a little for now---

GREAT and thank you. Glad to clear that up. From memory, in that old photo, the second or third son from the left was William Henry Cary. He married Mary Splawn and their grandaughter, as you already know, was my great grandmother, C.Ann Cary, born in Oregon Territory at Holley, Oregon 1857 and who died at Salem, Oregon, from memory that was 1941. I have movie film of her holding my cousin on her first birthday and first Christmas in Alameda CA, and might have her on movie film walking the Golden Gate bridge on opening day about March or April 1936 or 37, whatever it was...Thank you.

Re: ANNA JAMES and (Ambrose?) ARMENIUS CARY marriage

PHBADave — 2012-05-04 10:13:21Z

Oh, and ummm, so use that name in your tree if you wish to, based upon one date in a marriage record book that is a transcribed version nobody has seen. No biggie, but suggesting that since the marriage occurred before the Civil War and so many records and court houses were burned it could be something which you should seriously reconsider as validity-based evidence typically points to the factual truth over the rest of another 40 or 50 years of records... There are a great many errors in these compilation(s) of old marriage or whatver records, we all know. Its a futile argument so just use what you wish.
The BLM-GLO has Armenius Cary on the land claim and land patent signed by the US President in Oregon. I appreciate your sharing the old family photo which includes my great grandmother's father as one of the several sons of Armenius Cary, and MCVETKO had the same photo, whoever he is. The book by Mrs. Archie Toal called "the Cary Families of Virginia" which this woman out of Stockton, CA put together about 1965 included family data contributed by relatives including my grandfather, on typewritten sheets of paper. That 'book' was like a child's term paper, typed, but reproduced on a xerox machine. The Cary family photo appeared in it, but was very poor quality. I only have about ten to twelve pages of what I think is actually a 65 page or so booklet which was spiral bound and 3-hole punched.
In my opinion, The preponderance of evidence of the validity of first name of Armenius goes to Armenius Cary in the following records: several US census records in Missouri and Oregon Territory and Oregon; the old Cary family bible entry viewed and transcribed by Deanna Campbell; which was subject of a post on the message boards by she and I about ten years ago; death record entry; and a report of tombstone entry (but I did not yet view the tombstone, personally). Plenty of Cary members lived in Oregon to report on Armenius Cary as his name, the original land claim surveyor maps, surveyor's notes and notebooks included. Believe what you wish at this stage, all the records except one marriage transcription that nobody has seen seem to overrule the Ambrose name as pure error in my opinion.

Re: ANNA JAMES and AMBROSE CARY marriage

molye — 2012-04-26 22:12:32Z

Dave, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, Ambrose Cary and Armenius Cary are the same person. The only place "Ambrose" shows up is in Marriage Book A of Lafayette County, Missouri. I am certain that Ambrose and Armenius are identical because the date in the Lafayette County marriage book is the same as Armenius gave in his Donation Land claim. The Carys are documented in Lafayette County by land records at the proper time. I got the Lafayette County date from a transcription of the marriage book made by Nadine Hodges and Mrs. Howard Woodruff in their series on Missouri pioneers (exact cite not right at hand, sorry; I will post it when I come across it). I suspect that the photo referred to by mcvetko is probably the same one that I sent you in 2007.

You can purchase copies of family chapters from the series of books (Settlers of the Beekman Patent) by Frank Doherty from his web site at
http://www.beekmansettlers.com/ He will email them to you.

The chapter on the Cary families is very long and it is probably easier (certainly faster) to order copies on line unless you are close to a library that has the books. The Cary family is in Volume III.
