« This JOHN CARY {1551-post 1622) left Devon in his youth to reside at Dudley Castle in Staffordshire as "Ranger of the Chace of Pensnett,Co. Staff, of Edward, Lord Dudley.(fn)
There he married a lady recorded in the Visitation pedigrees simply as "da. of Norton." By this marriage, or in some other way, he displeased his father. He may have been a sort of Will Wimble. He is not mentioned in the paternal will, but his prosperous elder brother provided for him and his large family of sons.
During the latter part of his life he lived on the estate in Staffordshire known as Mousden, but later called Moushall, which the Lord Deputy had acquired in 1585, and succeeded to Cockington just before his death. When he died does not appear, but it is probable that he survived his brother Richard only a few months (1622).
(fn): Visitation of Staffordshire, 1664, William Salt Society Publications (1885), V, pt. 2, 72. This Edward Lord Dudley (d. 1643) was the ninth and last of the Suttons, barons Dudley, of Dudley Castle. Dugdale says with commiseration that, having lavished his property on a concubine and being involved in debt, in order to save his lands he was obliged to bestow the hand of his granddaughter and heiress upon Humble Ward, the only son of William Ward, an opulent goldsmith in London. His wisdom, in the face of Dugdale's sneer, is apparent in the fact that his descendants by this marriage still hold his lands and are now earls of Dudley.
