"Mary Wilson (1675-1741) had first married William Roscon [transcriber's note, as given-should be Roscow], with whom she lies buried under a handsome monument at Blunt Point, in Warwick. After his death, which ocurred Nov 27, 1700, she did not long remain in weeds, but in April , 1702, commiserating the equally sad lot of a near neighbor, she bestowed her hand upon Colonel Miles Cary, of 'Richneck' who had been bereavedat the same time, his wife, Mary Milner, having left him, 'issueless' as he tombstone states, October 27, 1700. And just here, there is a romantic episode, which I intend writing up, growing out of the frantic proceedings of one Captain James Moody, of Her Majesty's man-of-war, Southampton, who madly, though a married man, contested the hand of the fair widow, with Colonel Cary. The latter, having the inside tract, treated the woul-be bigamist with contempt, and so overwhelmed him with ridicule, that in a bloody rage he sailed around to Yorktown, where the Governor and Court were in session, and despite the Governor's threat of irons, undertook to post Colonel Cary. The Gobernor and Council took down the proceedings and promptly complained of his outrageous conduct to the home government, and the reckless villain was forthwith removed to appease the indignation of the entire colony."9 From Pecquet de Bellet "Wilson Cary of Ceeley" and his family [Compiled by Wilson Miles Cary, of Baltimore, Md., with extracts from 'Virginia Historical Magazine', Vol IX, No., 1, July, 1901, and a few notes from Goode's 'Virginia Cousins']
