    « ... When death came it was doubtless welcome: we can imagine the late Chief Baron closing his eyes to a vision, not of his discarded ermine, but of his bonny son Robert, then growing to manhood, and of the pleasant Devonshire landscape one can see to-day from Cockington Court, which to him was home.

    « Biography
    « Robert’s father, Sir John Cary, having been appointed chief baron of the Exchequer in November 1386, was impeached in the Merciless Parliament of 1388 and sentenced to be executed for his part in the Nottingham judgements. Although the sentence was commuted to banishment to Ireland and he was allowed a pension of £20, his lands and goods were forfeited to the Crown. The recovery of this inheritance bulks large in the recorded activities of Robert, his eldest son and heir, during the remainder of Richard II’s reign and throughout that of Henry IV. ...
    « Although only partially restored to his inheritance (in 1412 his property in the county was estimated at only £20 a year), Cary was returned as knight of the shire for Devon in the Parliament of 1407. He continued to be re-elected to all Parliaments between then and 1426 for which the Devon returns are extant, except those of 1414 (Nov.), 1420, 1421 (Dec.) and 1423. ...
    « The date of [Sir Robert] Cary’s death is not known, but there is no mention of him after August 1431 and it seems likely that he died before 1433, when his son, Philip, was elected a knight of the shire for Devon. Philip himself died in September 1437, but Robert Cary’s widow lived on until 1447. »
