Person:James Cary (14)

Biography

In The Devon Carys, Volume I,^S1 its author, Fairfax Harrison (1869-1938) devotes its Chapter XII (pp. 260-284) to the CAVALIERS OF COCKINGTON, which includes a section (pp. 276-284) called 'The Emigrants', in which, on page 281, he writes:

« VIII James, born 1627, has left no earmark for identification. He may have been the contemporary James Cary, Virginia merchant in London, whom we have preferably identified as his kinsman of the Clovelly family.² If not the London merchant, he may have emigrated to Virginia and there left, without record of his own, a son and namesake, the still mysterious James Cary of Gloucester.³  »

² See post (Vol. II), p.696  ; ³ See The Virginia Carys, p.149.

And in The Devon Carys, Volume II,^S2 Chaper XXII (pp. 673-707) entitled 'Whose Merchants Are Princes', in a section under the heading, 'The Hampstead Family' (pp. 694-704), Fairfax Harrison writes:

« Another, and in this instance a direct, migration of the Devon Carys to London to engage in trade appears in the family of James Cary (1622-1694) of Hampstead, a Virginia merchant and the first of three generations in that trade who sold tobacco on commission for the Virginia planters and purchased for them in England those supplies from a "Fashionable sett of Desert Glasses" or "2 wild beasts, not to exceed 12 inches in height nor 18 in length," to a "chariot in the newest taste, handsome, genteel and light," and so contributed to that English flavor in Virginia colonial life which is its racy characteristic.¹

No evidence has yet come to light definitely to identify the origin of this James, but the tradition of his descendants is clear that he was a scion from the Devon tree,² and it seems likely from the iterated reproduction of the Clovelly name Robert among those descendants that he came of that household. This assumption finds a warrant in the fact that a cadet line of the Clovelly family had been engaged in trade at Bideford for two generations when in 1622 they baptized a son James, otherwise unaccounted for, who fits into the known facts relating to our Virginia merchant.³ .... »

¹ See the letters which Colonel George Washington wrote to Messrs. Robert Cary & Co. beginning May 1, 1759, immediately on his taking over the management of the Custis estate after his marriage, particularly the lists of supplies he ordered to be sent him, and the manly letter of August 10, 1764, explaining why he was in arrears to Cary & Co. (Ford, Writings of Washington, ii, 126 et seq. ; and compare an illuminating paper by John Spencer Bassett, The Relations between the Virginia Planter and the London Merchant, Report of Am. Hist. Asso., 1901, i, 553.) On the other hand, but few papers coming out of the counting-house of Cary & Go. have survived in the Virginia records, and those of the most formal character. Their letter-books during three generations would make a rich contribution to the meagre material for the history of colonial Virginia planters.

² Thus, in the Herald and Genealogist, iv, 391, the Rev. Charles J. Robinson says: "The family of Weekes resident in co. Sussex claim to be descended from the ennobled Carys through the Hamptons. The Rev. William Hampton, rector of Worth, co. Sussex, married 1688 Elizabeth, daughter of James and Anne Cary, who was born at Aston, co. Oxon, in 1669." This Hampton marriage appears in the will (P.C.C. Box, 243) of James of Hampstead, and in the Hampton pedigree in Nicholls, Coll. Topo. et Gen., vi, 294. Again, Lewis E. V. Turner, of London, a descendant of James Cary through his grandson Robert, the last Virginia merchant of the line, who married in 1890 a daughter of Gouverneur Morris of New York, whose mother and grandmother were both Virginia Carys, has rehearsed to the present editor the same tradition derived from his grandmother. Such a tradition constantly maintained in a family for two hundred years is not to be disregarded, especially when backed up by the uninterrupted use of the Devon arms, of which there are several surviving evidences. It is clear, however, that James Cary was not descended from the "ennobled" Carys. If he had been of the Hunsdon family, of which anything seems possible, his son Robert, a man of importance at the time Le Neve was searching for heirs to the Hunsdon peerage, is not likely to have been overlooked: on the other hand, the Falkland pedigree may be said to be proof against further intrusion. James Cary's second marriage in Oxfordshire naturally suggests that he was, like the Chiswick family, one of the numerous descendants of John Cary "of Dudley" who found their way into Oxfordshire; but Captain W. M. Cary's diligent tests of the Spelsbury and other Oxon parish registers definitely eliminated him from among them.

³ But see ante (Vol. I), p. 281, as to the contemporary James Cary of the Cockington family.

Whle in his earlier work, The Virginia Carys,^S3 Fairfax Harrison had made a ‘tentative’ identification of James Cary with the possibility of a Cockington Cary parentage, which he was now, a year later, considering less likely. However, there are some indications that his first thoughts may prove to be more compelling after all. In Chapter VIII, entitled 'Other Carys in Virginia', under the heading Oswald Cary, of Middlesex, he wrote:

« ... A draft, preserved in the Middlesex records, which he drew on James Cary, of London, signed "yo^r dutiful son," identifies him as "my late sonne Oswell [sic] Cary, deceased" named in the will, dated 1694 (P.C.C. Box, 343),^S8 of James Cary, the founder of the house of Virginia merchants subsequently known as "Robert Cary & Co.," when they were Colonel George Washington's correspondents. This James Cary has been tentatively identified as another brother of Sir Henry Cary, of Cockington, and so of Francis Cary, supra. .... »

Note: Here Fairfax Harrison refers to a brother named Francis. However, he may have confused another Francis with Sir Henry Cary's sister, Frances (or Francisca): "Frances, æt. 3 in 1620; died 1634."^S3

Furthermore, in this 1694 will,^S8 the James Cary, "Salter of London," makes a bequest of twenty pounds to his “loving neece Mary Buzby.” And we find in Harrison’s The Devon Carys, Vol. 1 (p. 275),^S1 the following reference: “In the meanwhile, on February 10, 1663, Sir Henry (Cary) had married his daughter Grace, now twenty-one, to one ‘Robert Busby of St. Bride’s, London, gent., bachelor, aged about 25,’ ….” This marriage is also referenced in the Allegations for Marriage Licences.^S11 One of the children of this marriage was a certain Mary Busby, born “about 1668 Holborn, London.” ^S12 She would then be a great-niece of her grandfather Henry’s brother, James – as the daughter of his niece, Grace Busby née Cary.

In The Virginia Carys, Fairfax Harrison does not hazard a birth year for James Cary. While in his two volumes of The Devon Carys, he has him born in 1627 in the first and 1622 in the second. The latter, in a chart on Plate IX 'The Bideford and Hampstead Carys,' shows him as:

XV James 1622-1694 of London, "salter"

the son of:

XIV James 1597-1635 of Bideford and Alwington, merchant.

The former has a chart on Plate III (between pp. 260 and 261), which shows just four of the sons of:

XIV George 1578?-1643 of Cockington.

They are (of generation XV):

(i) Sir Henry 1613-1665 of Cockington. Sheriff of Devon, Colonel in the royalist army

(ii) Robert 1614-1688 LL.D. Rector of Portlemouth, author of Paleogia Chronica.

(v) Theodore, 1624-post 1667, of Jamaica

(vi) George, 1625-post 1666, of Clarendon Colony in Carolina,

after whom he adds: "and other sons, all apparently d.s.p." It is only later on, in this first volume of The Devon Carys, on p. 281, that he follows the two pages on "vi George, born 1625, ..." with a short paragraph for: "viii James, born 1627, ...." as quoted at the beginning above. And it is this birth year that has proved to be a bit of a stumbling block. As it simply did not easily fit with the James Cary, who was the "Virginia merchant in London." However, fresh evidence has come to light providing a baptism date of 25th October, 1633 for this James:

« 1633 / ... / ... Octob: / James Sonne of Geo & Eliz Cary : Esq bap 28th Octob »^S5

And if his baptism was not as long as six years after his birth, a birth year of 1633 comes much closer to fit an estimated birth year of 1632 for the James Cary, who was identified as a merchant of London and involved in the tobacco trade with Virginia in a deposition dated 16 July, 1677 in which he stated his age then as 45:

« July 16, 1677 Deposition by James Cary of London, merchant aged 45, and his servant, Daniel Sheriffe, aged 22, that they consigned goods to Mr. James Waddinge of Virginia by the Planters' Adventure, Mr Ellis Ellis. .... »^S7

But all of this may still fall short of definitive proof that this "James Cary of London" is one and the same as James, the apparently youngest son ^S4 of George Cary, of Cockington, Devon and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward Seymour, first baronet of Berry Pomeroy, Devon.

   'The Emigrants'
   « His (John Cary's) youngest son was that GEORGE CARY (1578?-1643) who was intended by the Lord Deputy to take the place of his own lost son of the same name but by his "unrulye caryage" forfeited his opportunity to be the sole heir. Nevertheless, under the final settlement, he inherited Cockington on his father's death and there he lived for many years, and there he was buried in 1643, passing on the estate intact, contrary to the expectations of his uncle. He had married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward Seymour, Bart, of Berry Pomeroy, near Totnes, and a great-granddaughter of the Protector Somerset.
   When in July, 1643, he died,¹ he left a large family of children.² The eldest son, SIR HENRY CARY (1613-1665), was then thirty years of age. ...

   1. He was buried in Cockington Church, but no M.I. nor any will survives. See, however, the parish register in H. & G., viii, 101.

   ... [ cont'd on pp.276-277 ]
   ... In support of the application of Sir Henry Cary of Cockington for composition there was filed¹ a deposition by one of his servants that on June 15, 1646, there were living with Sir Henry, at Cockington, his mother and the following named brothers and sisters: Robert, Edward, John, Theodore, George, Walter, James, Francis, Elizabeth, Bridget. The Visitation of Devon of 1620 gives the children living when that record was made as Henry, Robert, Edward, Francisca, Elizabeth, and John, the last named "aet 3 menses."² It follows that all the younger brothers and sisters who were living in 1646, viz., Theodore, George, Walter, James, and Bridget, were born after 1620; and this is confirmed by the entry of the matriculation of the oldest of them, Theodore, at Queen's College, Oxford, in 1642, when he gave his age as eighteen;³ and by the earliest entry of the family in the surviving parish register of Cockington,⁴ namely, for 1629, reading: "Bridgett Cary, the daughter of George Cary, Esq., and Eliza, his wife, was bap: the 20 of January." One of them must then have been born every year from 1624 to 1629. It seems clear that the Francis of the deposition of 1646 was intended for the daughter Francisca born 1617, who appears in the Visitation pedigree, and not a son Francis born 1628, as the misprint has heretofore led us to conjecture.⁵

   1. The children of Sir Henry Cary.
   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, 1643; (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, "D^na Araia Cary, vid. nup^r 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.

   A large portion of these possessions, including the manor and mansion of Cockington, fell to the share of his namesake and adopted heir George, the youngest but one of the sons of his brother John Cary of Dudley, co. Stafford.
   This George Cary married Elizabeth, a daughter of the now ducal House of Seymour. The contents of a deed printed in the Appendix show that, in early life at least, George Cary displayed tendencies to extravagance, which excited his uncle's misgivings. He nevertheless handed down the Cockington estate, at his death in 1643, to his eldest son and heir, the gallant but unfortunate Sir Henry Cary.
