    « The children of Sir Henry Cary and Amy Bagge, his first wife, as recorded in the Cockington parish register (Dymond, H. & G., viii, 100) were: (i) GRACE baptized January 17, 1640; (ii) EDWARD, baptized June 9, 1642; (iii) HENRY, baptized September 26, 1643; (iv) RICHARD, baptized April 27, 1646; and (v) HASTINGS, baptized May 16, 1652. It seems probable that Hastings died an infant, his mother having certainly died in childbirth of him; at all events there is no further record of him. Edward was buried in the cloister of Westminster Abbey January 13, 1661, where his father was buried beside him October 4, 1665, and his brother Henry August 16, 1667. The last surviving son, Richard, administered August 1, 1669, on the estate of his mother, "Dna Araia Cary, vid. nupr de Cockington in Com. Devon, defunct." (P.C.C. Admon. Act Book, 1669. There was a mistake in the description as widow, for the parish register of Cockington, as quoted by Dymond in H. & G., viii, 101, shows her burial June 16, 1652.) He could not have done this if either of his older brothers was then alive. Finally, it being remembered that the only daughter, Grace, had married, February 10, 1663, Robert Busby of St. Bride's, London (Chester, Westminster Marriage Licenses), we find the will of Richard Cary dated February 8, 1671, and proved March 19 following (P.C.C. Duke, 35), whereby he describes himself as "of the parish of St. Brides, London, Esquire," and leaves his entire estate to his "dear sister Grace Busby, wife of Robert Busby of said parish, woolen draper." This was apparently the extinction of Sir Henry Cary's name. »

    « The Genealogical History of the Croke family, originally named Le Blount, by Sir Alexander Croke (1758-1842) includes one very brief paragraph on Robert Busby, "a woollen draper in Saint Andrew's, Holborn, (who), in 1663, married Grace, the daughter of Sir Henry Cary of Devonshire." »
