JOHN  GARY

A  people  which  takes  no  pride  in  noble  achieve' 
ments  of  remote  ancestors,  will  never  achieve 
anything  worthy  to  be  remembered  with  pride  by 
remote  descendants. — Macaulay.

The  Story  of  the  Gary  Coat  of  Arms. 

As  Told  by  the  Old  Chroniclers. 

"In  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  Henry  V.  (1413-1422)  a  certain 
Knight-errant  of  Aragon,  having  passed  through  divers  countries,  and 
performed  many  feats  of  Arms,  arrived  here  in  England,  where  he 
challenged  any  man  of  his  rank  and  quality  to  make  a  trial  of  his  skill 
in  arms.  This  challenge  was  accepted  by  Sir  Robert  Cary,  between 
whom  a  cruel  encounter,  and  a  long  and  doubtful  combat  was  waged 
in  Smithfield,  London.  But  at  length  this  noble  Champion  vanquished 
the  presumptuous  Aragonois,  for  which  King  Henry  V.  restored  unto 
him  a  good  part  of  his  father's  lands,  which  for  his  loyalty  to  Richard 
II.  he  had  been  deprived  of  by  Henry  IV.  and  authorized  him  to  bear 
the  Arms  of  a  Knight  of  Aragon,  which  the  noble  posterity  continue 
to  wear  unto  this  day ;  for  according  to  the  laws  of  Heraldry,  whoever 
fairly  in  the  field  conquers  his  adversary  may  justify  the  wearing  of 
his  Arms." — Burke's  Heraldry. 

Another  account  is  so  quaint  that  it  is  placed  before  the  reader : 
"In  the  time  of  Henry  V.  cam  out  of  Aragon  a  lusty  gentleman 
into  England,  and  challenged  to  do  feites  of  armes,  with  any  English 
gentleman  without  exception.  This  Sir  Robert  Cary  hearing  thereof, 
made  suite  forthwith  to  the  Prince,  that  he  might  answer  the  chal- 
lange,  which  was  granted,  and  Smithfield  was  the  place  appointed  for 
the  same,  who,  at  the  day  and  time  prefixed,  both  parties  mett  and 
did  performe  sundrie  feates  of  armes,  but  in  the  end  this  Robert  gave 
the  foils  and  overthrow  to  the  Aragon  Knight,  disarmed  and  spoiled 
him,  which  his  doinge  so  well  pleased  the  Prince,  that  he  receyved 
him  into  great  favor,  caused  him  to  be  restored  to  the  most  part  of  his 
father's  landes,  and  willed  him  also  for  a  perpetuall  memorie  of  his 
victorie,  that  he  should  henceforth  give  the  same  armes  as  the  Aragon 
Knight,  which  is  Argent,  on  bend  sable  three  roses  argent,  for  before 
they  did  beare  gules,  chevron  entre,  three  swans  argent." — Herald's 
Visitation,  1620. 


THE  ROSES'  MESSAGE  TO  US. 

The  age  of  chivalry  has  passed  away ; 
We  cannot  now  on  tourney-fields  display 
Our  strength  and  courage ;  neither  did  we  flee 
From  native  land  to  find  beyond  the  sea 
Freedom  and  justice;  these  we  now  possess, 
And  need  not  seek  them  in  the  wilderness. 
Yet  even  now  must  we  fierce  battles  fight, 
And  firmly  stand  as  champions  of  the  right. 
Valor  is  needed  if  we  hope  to  win 
Our  victories  over  greed,  and  wrong  and  sin. 
The  roses  white  must  we  preserve  from  stain, 
And  other  trophies  by  our  valor  gain. 
Then  let  each  one  who  bears  the  Cary  name 
Remember  whence  his  shield  and  motto  came: 
Remember,  too,  the  one  who  brought  them  o'er 
The  ocean's  waves  to  this  New  England  shore. 
All  that  the  fathers  have  by  valor  gained 
Must  by  the  sons  be  valiantly  maintained. 
Then  take  the  shield;  go  forward  to  the  fight; 
Guard  well  the  roses ;  may  their  silvery  light 
Shine  on  brave  deeds  performed  for  truth  and  right.

PREFACE. 

The  plan  of  this  book  is  very  simple,  and  that  is  to  tell  the  story 
of  John  Cary  the  Plymouth  Pilgrim,  and  his  descendants.  This  can  not  be 
done  wisely  and  disregard  the  monumental  work  of  the  Hon.  Samuel 
Fenton  Cary,  who  published  the  "Cary  Memorials"  in  1874.  He  laid 
the  foundations,  and  they  need  not  be  relaid.  All  that  can  be  done  is 
to  add  to  the  superstructure,  making  here  and  there  a  correction,  and 
adding  such  new  material  as  further  research  has  developed. 

The  last  word  has  not  yet  been  said  in  regard  to  the  early  years 
of  John  Cary.  The  time  does  not  yet  seem  ripe  to  say  more  than  has 
already  been  said ;  but  to  put  together  the  best  that  can  be  done  for  the 
multitude  that  are  coming  after.  The  most  recent  thing  published  is 
Prof.  Henry  Grosvenor  Cary's  "The  Cary  Family  in  England." 

It  is  rare  to  find  a  man  who  gathered  to  himself  so  much  of  good, 
and  then  to  send  down  through  family  life,  cleaner  morals,  higher 
ideals,  or  a  more  pervasive  personality.  He  was  quiet  yet  firm ;  true 
and  aggressive,  persistent  and  successful.  He  was  one  who  could 
afford  "to  labor  and  to  wait." 

It  will  be  noted  that  in  this  book  our  name  is  invariably  spelled 
C-a-r-y.  It  is  also  well  known  that  some  of  the  branches  of  the  Family 
prefer  and  use  the  longer  form,  C-a-r-e-y.  In  some  cases  this  is  from 
choice,  and  in  others  it  is  what  has  descended  to  them  from  the  recent 
past.  The  writer  has  no  question  but  that  the  shorter  form  is  correct. 
And  yet  when  asked  by  those  who  seek  to  know  what  they  should  do 
under  the  circumstances,  he  has  no  hesitancy  in  saying  this :  If  you 
are  tied  up  in  business,  and  entangled  by  legal  forms  and  documents, 
such  as  wills,  deeds,  patents,  etc.,  keep  on  as  you  are ;  but  the  younger 
members  of  the  family,  who  are  not  thus  hampered,  can  make  the 
change,  and  thus  bring  about  uniformity.    The  only  reason  why  we 

15 


16  Preface 

do  not  print  the  name  as  each  line  or  branch  is  accustomed  to  do,  is 
because  of  the  utter  confusion  that  would  result,  and  our  proof-reading 
would  be  interminable. 

At  first  it  was  thought  possible  that  the  book  could  be  quite 
largely  illustrated,  but  it  was  soon  discovered  that  this  would  make 
the  work  altogether  too  bulky,  and  also  too  expensive. 

Years  of  work  have  been  put  upon  this  book,  and  many  hands 
have  been  occupied  in  its  production.  It  is  the  best  that  the  condi- 
tions and  surroundings  allow.  And  it  is  now  entrusted  to  your  hands 
to  be  studied,  to  be  enlarged  and  filled  out  to  its  proper  capacity  and 
its  fullest  development.  Many  of  its  Sections  can  and  should  be 
worked  up  into  biographies,  or  sketches,  and  out  of  this  scores  of 
families  could  enrich  their  own  family  life.  The  author  cheerfully 
resigns  the  work  to  the  optimism  and  enthusiasm  of  the  younger 
Carys.

INTRODUCTION. 

This  book  contains  the  names  of  the  descendants  of  John  Cary,  so 
far  as  they  have  been  reported,  or  discovered  in  any  other  way.  No 
claim  that  it  includes  them  all  is  made,  but  a  wide  search  has  been 
instituted  and  carried  on  for  years,  and  none  are  knowingly  omitted. 
If  others  report  themselves,  it  will  be  a  pleasure  to  add  their  names 
to  the  already  long  list. 

So  far  as  known  this  is  the  only  work  devoted  to  this  Family  that 
is  now  in  print  and  brought  up  to  date. 

The  family  is  English,  and  they  appear  first  in  the  Domesday 
Book,  and  are  traced  back  to  Adam  De  Kari,  who  was  Lord  of  Castle 
Cary  in  1198. 

The  three  principal  lines  which  came  to  America  are  descended 
from  John,  who  came  to  Plymouth  about  1634;  James,  who  came  to 
Charlestown  in  1639,  and  Miles,  who  came  to  Virginia  in  1640.  There 
are  numerous  other  individuals  or  families  who  have  come  to  this 
land  of  opportunity  at  various  times,  but  there  seems  as  yet  no  com- 
plete list  of  them. 

In  England  the  Family  is  represented  in  almost  all  grades  of  the 
nobility,  all  orders  in  the  Church,  and  among  the  people.  Their  tombs 
are  found  in  St.  Paul's,  Westminster,  and  various  other  Cathedrals 
and  Churches.  They  attained  distinction  in  Statesmanship,  Poetry, 
Music,  and  Letters;  in  the  Army  and  Navy;  as  Diplomats,  Courtiers, 
and  Representatives  of  the  English  Crown  abroad.  William  Cary, 
the  great  Baptist  missionary  to  India,  well  represents  the  family  by 
his  work  as  a  Translator;  while  a  Moravian  preacher  bearing  our 
name  was  instrumental  in  the  conversion  of  Captain  Webb,  an  English 
officer,  who  planted  Methodism  in  Philadelphia. 

This  book  will  be  valuable  to  all  Carys,  whether  their  names  are 
included  or  not ;  if  not  here,  and  they  belong  to  the  family,  all  the  orig- 
inal ancestors  are  easily  found,  and  thus  connection  can  be  made  with 
the  proper  branch.  It  is  equally  valuable  for  all  the  lines  of  inter- 
marriage, since  in  many  cases  these  have  been  traced  to  considerable 
length,  in  order  that  the  work  may  be  most  complete. 

A  singular  fact  has  recently  come  to  light :    Some  German-speak- 

2  17 


18  Introduction 

ing  Russians  at  Mandan,  North  Dakota,  spell  their  name  Kari,  and 
pronounce  it  Cary. 

The  quaint  statement  of  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes,  that  "A  person 
with  a  known  Grandfather  is  too  distinguished  to  find  it  necessary 
to  put  on  airs,"  is  doubtless  somewhat  exaggerated;  yet  it  has  in  it 
just  enough  of  a  great  truth  to  make  it  stick,  and  at  the  same  time 
teach  a  lesson  that  the  race  really  needs  to  know.  A  careful  indoc- 
trination of  somewhat  of  the  Chinese  respect  for  their  ancestors  would 
go  a  long  way  toward  making  the  American  people  more  self-respect- 
ing, and  in  this  way  lay  a  foundation  for  a  better  citizenship,  with 
higher  ideals  and  a  far  better  outcome. 

Occasionally  the  plain,  blunt  question  comes  to  us  in  this  form: 
Are  the  Carys  keeping  up  their  old-time  vigor,  strength,  and  mental 
and  moral  qualities?  This  is  a  serious  question,  and  should  not  be 
answered  without  careful  thought,  and  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  Fam- 
ily. Having  known  many,  and  corresponded  with  more,  the  following 
statement  seems  wholly  warranted  as  the  result  of  a  thoughtful  analy- 
sis: I  can  see  no  special  lack  in  muscular  strength,  no  failing  in  gen- 
eral vigor,  no  falling  oS  in  mental  quality,  rather  an  increase  in 
musical  taste,  and  no  decline  in  the  consecration  to  God  and  to  the  up- 
lift of  the  race.  They  are  as  hard-working,  with  as  much  inventive 
genius,  literary  ability,  far  seeing,  with  the  other  qualities  which 
make  up  patriotic  and  useful  citizenship,  as  well  as  all  the  home  vir- 
tues, with  as  much  persistency  coupled  with  quiet,  peaceable  disposi- 
tions, as  the  Family  has  ever  presented.  Let  it  be  distinctly  under- 
stood, that  I  can  point  out  the  individuals  who  go  to  make  up  this 
array  of  strong,  sturdy,  and  desirable  characteristics.  And  this  new 
book  will  be  found  full  of  illustrations  of  all  these  qualities. 

As  we  near  the  completion  of  this  book,  we  find  people  still  ask- 
ing about  it;  and  if  they  belong  to  the  Family,  and  are  their  names 
included?  Many  such  requests  have  been  answered,  and  their  lines 
definitely  connected.  But  in  other  cases  the  queries  have  come  so 
late,  and  the  time  for  securing  the  needed  data  is  so  short,  that  we 
shall  be  compelled  to  disappoint  these  good  people.  This  we  greatly 
regret.  But  we  have  a  plan  by  which  such  friends,  and  a  great  host 
behind  them,  can  have  their  data  put  into  form  for  permanent  preser- 
vation. The  plan  is  this :  Let  all  such  records  be  properly  edited 
and  printed  in  our  Bulletin,  which  would  thus  become  a  permanent 
organ  for  the  preservation  of  the  records  of  our  Family.

SKETCH  OF  JOHN  GARY. 

Chronological. 

Samuel  F.  Cary,  in  "Cary  Memorials,"  says:  "The  writer  has 
had  access  to  a  manuscript  more  than  one  hundred  years  old,  and 
written  by  a  grandson  of  John,  which  says  that  John  Cary,  when  a 
youth,  was  sent  by  his  father  to  France  to  perfect  his  education,  and 
that  while  absent  his  father  died.  On  returning  to  Somersetshire  he 
differed  with  his  brothers  about  the  settlement  of  his  father's  estate. 
He  compromised  by  receiving  one  hundred  pounds  as  his  portion  and 
immediately»sailed  for  America." 

Tradition  says  that  he  was  the  first  Latin  School  teacher  in  the 
Plymouth  Colony,  and  that  he  taught  Elder  Brewster  the  Hebrew. 

He  removed  to  Duxbury  where  he  had  ten  acres  of  land  allotted 
to  him.  At  a  Court  of  Assistants,  held  October  2,  1637,  "A  proporcon 
of  land  is  granted  to  John  Carew,  about  the  lands  graunted  to  Robte 
Mendall,  contayning  X  acrees."  And  at  a  Court  of  Assistants,  Janu- 
ary 7,  1639 "are  appoynted  to  lay  forth  Robte  Mendloues  & 

John  Carews  land" . 

The  history  of  Duxbury  is  interesting  and  is  as  follows :  In  1630 
and  1631  there  were  a  few  settlers  in  Duxbury,  but  they  went  back  to 
Plymouth  in  the  winter  to  be  nearer  pubHc  worship,  and  also  because 
their  houses  were  more  comfortable  for  the  cold  weather.  Some  of 
them  signed  an  agreement  to  this  effect.  In  1632,  probably,  the  real 
settling  began,  but  it  was  not  till  June  7,  1637,  that  the  town  was  in- 
corporated :  "It  is  enacted  by  the  Court  that  Ducksborrow  shall  be- 
come a  township  and  unite  together  for  their  better  securitie  and  to 
have  the  p'veledges  of  a  towne,  onley  their  bounds  and  limmits  shall 
be  sett  and  appoynted  by  the  next  Court." 

The  name  probably  came  from  Duxbury  Hall,  the  seat  of  the 
Standish  Family  in  England. 

So  many  people  had  left  Plymouth  that  there  was  an  effort  made 
to  unite  the  two  churches,  and  build  a  new  town,  and  committees 
were  appointed  to  consider  the  matter.  Two  locations  were  sug- 
gested :  Jones  River,  now  Kingston,  and  Morton's  Hole,  which  was 
west  of  Captain's  Hill.     The  Indian  name  was  Mattakeeset. 

19 


20  John  Gary 

Marshfield  was  incorporated  March  2,  1640,  but  the  bounds  were 
not  fixed  till   1642. 

At  a  Court  of  Assistants,  October  7,  1639,  "John  Carew  is  allowed 
to  be  for  himself  vpon  the  continuence  of  the  good  report  of  his  car- 
riage &  demean'r ;  &  at  a  Court  of  Assistants  held  the  fourth  of  No- 
vemb'r  next  after,  Edmond  Weston  is  lycenced  to  Hue  w'th  John 
Carew,  and  to  be  p'tner  w'th  him  in  workeing  and  planting  vpon  the 
sd  John  Carews  land,  vpon  their  good  demean'r  together." 

In  1640  Marshfield  was  set  off  from  Duxbury,  and  as  a  compen- 
sation for  this  loss  of  territory,  the  following  plan  was  made:  "The 
inhabitants  of  the  town  of  Duxbury  are  granted  a  competent  portion 
of  lands  about  Saughtuchquett  (Satucket),  towards  the  west,  for  a 
plantation  for  them,  and  to  have  it  four  miles  every  way  from  the 
place  where  they  shall  set  up  their  center;  provided,  it  intrench  not 
upon  Winnytuckquett,  formerly  granted  to  Plymouth.  And  we  have 
nominated  Capt.  Miles  Standish,  Mr.  John  Alden,  George  Soule,  Con- 
stant Southworth,  John  Rogers,  and  William  Brett,  to  be  foefees  in 
trust  for  the  equal  dividing  and  laying  forth  the  said  lands  to  the 
inhabitants."  It  would  seem  that  this  plan  was  never  executed,  al- 
though carried  out  in  a  larger  way  in  the  Duxbury  New  Plantation, 
bought  of  the  Indians  in  1649.  Those  wishing  to  see  the  old  Indian 
Deed,  will  find  it  in  "The  Cary  Family  in  America,"  pages  5,  6. 

In  June,  1644,  John  Cary  and  Elizabeth  Godfrey  were  married ; 
she  was  the  daughter  of  Francis  Godfrey  of  Duxbury  and  Bridge- 
water.  John,  their  first  child,  was  born  November  4,  1645,  ^"d  died 
in  1721. 

It  also  appears  that  in  1646,  according  to  the  records  of  Marsh- 
field :  "At  the  Town  meeting  it  was  agreed  that  Edward  Winsloe 
(afterward  Governor)  should  agree  with  F.  Godfrey  for  making  a 
bridge  over  South  River  and  what  he  shall  agree  the  town  are  ready 
to  affirm." 

Francis,  his  second  son,  was  born  January  19,  1647,  ^"d  died 
in  1718. 

October  23,  1648,  he  sold  to  James  Lindell  all  the  land,  both 
upland  and  meadow,  granted  him  by  the  town,  and  at  the  same  time 
"testified  and  affirmed"  that  his  father-in-law,  Francis  Godfrey,  "did 
acknowledge  and  confess  that  he  had  sold  his  present  right  and  in- 
terest of  his  said  land  lying  upon  Green  Harbor  River,"  to  James 
Lindell. 

March  23,  1649,  Duxbury  New  Plantation,  which  was  fourteen 
miles  square,  was  deeded  to  trustees  for  the  benefit  of  the  people  of 


The  Plymouth  Pilgrim  21 

Duxbury.  John  Cary  was  one  of  the  fifty-six  who  had  shares,  but 
only  a  few  ever  settled  on  them. 

Elizabeth  was  born  December  20,  1649. 

January  16,  1650,  he  sold  two  acres  of  meadow  land  to  Steven 
Briant. 

John  Cary  was  Clerk  of  the  Plantation,  which  was  a  kind  of  land 
company,  and  this  year  it  began  to  be  settled. 

Francis  Godfrey,  of  Marshfield,  sold  to  Anthony  Eames  and  his 
son,  Mark  Eames,  one  hundred  acres  of  land  and  dwelling-house  on 
North  River,  near  Mr.  Vassells,  "for  four-score  pounds,"  December 
ID,  1650. 

March  18,  1652,  James  was  born  in  Braintree,  Massachusetts  Bay 
Colony.  It  is  quite  likely  that  on  account  of  some  stress  of  the  times, 
they  were  living  there. 

Mary  was  born  at  Duxbury  New  Plantation,  July  8,  1654. 

The  town  records  contain  the  following  item :  "It  was  agreed 
upon  by  the  Towne  the  twelfe  of  March,  1656,  that  there  shall  be 
five  woulfe  traps  made." 

June  3  (O.  S.),  1656,  the  General  Court  incorporated  Duxbury 
New  Plantation  as  Bridgewater:  "ORDERED,  That  henceforth 
Duxborrow  New  Plantation  bee  allowed  to  bee  a  tounshipe  of  ytselfe. 
destinct  from  Duxborrow,  and  to  bee  called  by  the  name  of  Bridge- 
water.  Provided  that  all  publicke  rates  bee  borne  by  them  with  Dux- 
borrow upon  equally  proportions." 

Plymouth  Colony  Records,  volume  3,  page  99,  for  June  3,  1656, 
have  the  following  entry : 

"The  Cunstables  of  the  seueral  Townes" 
"Bridgewater     John  Carew." 

At  this  time  there  were  but  ten  freemen  in  the  town. 

Jonathan  was  born  September  24,  1656. 

John  Cary  is  mentioned  as  having  "taken  the  Oath  of  Fidelitie 
at  Duxborrow,  in  the  yeare  1657."  He  was  elected  Town  Clerk  this 
year,  and  this  was  most  Hkely  the  oath  of  office;  he  occupied  this 
place  until  his  death  in  1681. 

"Att  the  Generall  Court  holden  att  Plymouth,  in  New  England, 
the  first  of  March,  1658." 

"These  may  certify  all  whom  it  may  concerne,  that  the  fourth 
of  March,  1658,  that  these  men  whose  names  are  vnderwritten,  by  the 
intelligence  of  an  Indian,  came  to  a  place  a  little  below  Namaskett, 


22  John  Gary 

where  the  Indians  took  vp  an  English  man  out  of  the  Riuer  of  Teta- 
cutt,  with  a  blew  paire  of  stockings  and  a  gray  listed  garter,  and  like- 
wise pte  of  a  locorum  paire  of  briches  with  wyer  bottons  fastened 
about  his  waist ;  but  wee  found  noe  blemish  about  the  man  that  should 
any  way  cause  his  death,  but  as  wee  conceiue  was  drowned  accedent- 
ally;  and  finding  the  man  thuse,  wee  haue  buried  him,  and  haue  satis- 
fyed  the  Indians  for  theire  paines."  Signed  by  John  Carew  and  eleven 
others  "from  Bridgewater." 

And  superscribed  these:  "I  pray  you  deliur  this  to  M'r  Collyer, 
or  M'r  Alden,  either  of  them,  to  doe  with  as  they  shall  see  meet.  And 
by  them  sence  ordered  heer  to  be  recorded  as  aboue-said." 

David  was  born  January  27,  1659. 

"It  is  Ordered  and  Agreed  upon  by  the  Towne,  the  tenth  of  July, 
1660,  freely  and  willingly  to  give  to  Mr.  Buckner  if  he  shall  come 
Heyther  to  supply  the  place  of  A  minister  the  sum  of  twenty  pounds 
and  his  diet." 

Hannah  was  born  April  30,  1661. 

"Att  the  Generall  Court  holden  att  Plymouth  the  fourth  day  of 
June,  1661,  John  Carye  is  admitted  by  the  Court  to  haue  equall  entrest 
in  the  graunt  made  to  Arthur  Harris,  and  others,  of  Bridgewater,  for 
accomodation  of  lands." 

Joseph  was  born  April  18,  1663. 

Rev.  Mr.  Keith,  the  first  pastor  at  Bridgewater,  installed  in  1663, 
was  from  Aberdeen,  Scotland,  and  preached  there  fifty-six  years.  It 
is  said  that  his  sermon  was  preached  on  "Sermon  Rock." 

Rebecca,  the  tenth  child  of  John  and  Elizabeth,  was  born  March 
30,  1665. 

June  7,  1665,  more  land  was  granted  to  John  Cary  and  others. 

Francis  Godfrey  made  his  will  1666,  and  the  property  was  in- 
ventoried at  £117-17-5. 

June  5,  1667,  "a  Jury  was  named  and  ordered  to  bee  impaneled  to 
lay  out  waies  requisett  to  the  township  of  Bridgewater."  Among 
the  twelve  appointed  was  John  Carrey,  and  "Captaine  Bradford  or- 
dered by  the  Court  to  impanell  this  jury." 

John  Cary  was  also  appointed  with  Deacon  Willis  "to  take  all  the 
charges  of  the  late  war  (King  Philip's)  since  June  last  and  expenses 
of  the  scouts  before  and  since  June  last." 

Sarah  was  born  August  2,  1667. 

June  3,  1668,  land  was  laid  out  to  John  Cary  and  others. 

June  7,  1668,  the  Jury  appointed  to  lay  out  the  lands  reported  to 
the  Court  and  John  Cary  signed  the  document  with  the  eleven  others. 


The  Plymouth  Pilgrim  23 

John  Cary  was  on  "The  Grand  Enquest,"  June  3,  1662 ;  June  5, 
1672,  and  June  5,  1678. 

John  Gary's  name  appears  in  "An  Exact  List  of  all  the  Names 
of  the  Freemen  of  the  Jurisdiction  of  New  Plymouth,  transcribed  by 
Nathaniel  Morton,  Secretary  to  the  Court  for  the  said  Jurisdiction, 
the  29th  of  May,  Anno  Dom.  1670." 

John  Gary,  2nd,  and  Abigail  Allen,  daughter  of  Samuel  Allen, 
were  married  December  7,  1670. 

Mehitabel,  the  last  child  of  John  and  Elizabeth,  was  born  Decem- 
ber 24,  1670. 

A  son  (John)  was  born  to  John  Gary,  2nd,  November  6,  1671, 
and  died  the  29th  of  the  same  month. 

John  Gary  was  "Gelect  Man  for  Bridgewater"  from  1667  to  1679 
consecutively. 

"It  was  agreed  upon  by  the  towne  mett  togeyther,  the  first  of 
November,  1675,  that  there  should  be  a  fortification  aboute  the  meet- 
ing house  for  the  safety  of  the  towne." 

The  Records  of  the  Proprietors  of  Bridgewater  was  in  John 
Gary's  handwriting,  "The  First  Book  of  Records  was  begun  1675  ^Y 
John  Gary,  Sen.  Clerk,  who  had  4J/2  pence  for  each  lot." 

"The  town  being  mett  together  by  order  from  the  Governor,  and 
warned  thereto  by  the  Constable,  the  21st  of  August  1676,  I,  John 
Gary  Gleark,  being  cald  upon  by  the  Inhabitants  to  call  for  a  vote,  who 
should  have  the  money  that  was  made  of  the  Indians  that  was  sold 
last.  And  the  vote  passed  that  the  souldiears  that  took  them  should 
have  the  money;  the  contrary  vote  being  cald,  I  see  but  three  at  most 
who  held  up  their  hands  to  the  contrary." 

His  son  Francis  married  Hannah,  daughter  of  William  Brett, 
in  1676. 

"March  16,  1676-7,  the  Town  granted  to  John  Gary,  Sen.,  10  acres 
on  condition  that  he  would  book  all  the  106  acres  then  laid  out  and 
the  three  meadow  lots  to  each." 

The  fourth  day  of  December,  1676,  "Agreed  with  Samuel  Tomkins 
to  sweep  and  look  to  the  meeting  house  A  full  year  after  the  date 
hereof.    And  he  was  to  have  12  s  for  his  pains  or  labor." 

"The  towne  made  choice  of  John  Ames  Seynior  and  John  Gary 
Junior,  for  this  year,  to  be  helpful  to  the  Constable  and  the  Grand 
Jury  man.  About  their  inspection  into  such  houses  that  may  be 
thought  to  harbour  Any  English  or  Indians  to  sell  or  give  Liquor,  or 
sider  to  make  them  drunke." 

November  i,  1680,  Elizabeth  Godfrey,  for  thirty-six  years  the 


24  John  Gary 

beloved  wife  of  John  Cary,  passed  from  the  labor  and  hardships  inci- 
dent to  the  life  of  a  Pilgrim  of  the  Plymouth  Colony,  to  the  heritage 
of  the  just. 

In  i68d,  the  Cary  family,  which  had  lived  in  Bridgewater  for 
nearly  thirty  years,  like  most  families,  began  to  scatter.  It  is  quite 
probable  that  Joseph  was  the  first  to  go,  although  John  and  Francis 
were  married  and  Elizabeth  also,  before  this.  Joseph  went  to  Nor- 
wich, and  not  long  after  removed  to  Windham,  where  he  well  sus- 
tained the  family  reputation. 

John  and  David  removed  to  Bristol,  where  they  were  original 
proprietors,  deacons  in  the  Church,  and  useful  citizens  in  the  com- 
munity. 

Most  likely  James  went  to  Bristol  a  little  later,  as  he  was  not  mar- 
ried till  1682,  when  he  married  Mary  Shaw,  of  Weymouth,  and  settled 
in  Bristol,  where  he  lived  and  died. 

The  History  of  Plymouth  says  that,  "John  Cary  was  a  man  of 
superior  education,  and  had  great  influence  in  the  Colony  and  as  an 
officer  in  the  Church." 

The  following  is  the  record  of  his  death :  "John  Cary  Seniour  in- 
habytant  in  the  town  of  Bridgewater  deceased  the  last  day  of  October 
in  the  yeare  of  our  lord  1681." 

At  a  Court  held  March  7,  1682:  "Letters  of  adminestration  is 
graunted  vnto  Serjeant  John  Cary  to  adminester  on  the  estate  of  John 
Cary,  Seni'r'deceased." 

The  family  of  John  Cary  at  his  death,  October  31,  1681,  consisted 
of  the  following  children  and  grandchildren : 

1.  John,  thirty-five  years  old,  was  called  "Serjeant  Cary"  and  had 
five  living  children — Seth,  John,  Nathaniel,  Eleazer,  James. 

2.  Francis,  two  children — Samuel,  Ephraim. 

3.  Elizabeth,  married  Deacon  William  Brett. 

4.  James. 

5.  Mary. 

6.  Jonathan. 

7.  David. 

8.  Hannah. 

9.  Joseph. 

10.  Rebecca. 

11.  Sarah. 

12.  Mehitabel. 

This  makes  a  family  of  twelve  children  and  seven  grandchildren.

SECTION  1. 

John  Cary  was  born  near  Bristol,  Somersetshire,  England,  about 
1610;  came  to  America  about  1634,  joined  the  Plymouth  Colony,  and 
made  his  home  at  Duxbury,  where  he  had  a  farm.  In  1644  he  m.  Eliza- 
beth, dau.  of  Francis  and  Elizabeth  Godfrey  (who  was  a  carpenter  and 
bridge  builder,  and  in  August,  1643,  we  find  his  name  on  the  muster- 
roll  of  the  Duxbury  Company  commanded  by  Capt.  Myles  Standish ; 
he  removed  to  Bridgewater  where  he  d.  in  1669;  it  is  thought  that  the 
name  Godfrey  comes  from  the  Duke  of  Bouillon,  the  Crusader). 

Concerning  John  Cary,  Moses  Cary  has  this :  "Mr.  Cary  was  one 
of  the  Proprietors  (of  Bridgewater),  and  one  of  the  first  settlers,  and 
was  very  useful  among  them.  The  town  was  incorporated  in  1656. 
Mr.  Cary  was  the  first  Town  Clerk  and  continued  in  that  office  a  great 
number  of  years.  At  first  they  settled  near  together  and  around 
where  the  Town  House  now  stands  in  West  Bridgewater.  Mr.  Gary's 
lot  was  about  a  J4  of  a  mile  east  of  the  Town  House  and  on  the  farm 
where  Dr.  Reed  lived;  and  there  he  spent  the  remainder  of  his  days, 
and  brought  up  a  great  family  of  children.  He  had  six  sons  and  six 
daughters.  They  all  lived  to  grow  up  and  have  families,  and  all  took 
to  good  courses  so  that  it  was  the  saying  of  some  "that  there  were  12 
of  'em  and  never  a  Judas  among  them.'  " 

Judge  Mitchell,  in  his  description  of  Bridgewater,  speaking  of 


The  Plymouth  Pilgrim  63 

the  first  settlers,  says :     "Mr.  Cary  was  among  the  most  respectable 
of  them,  and  his  family  one  of  the  most  influential  in  the  town." 

His  wife  d.  in  1680,  and  he  d.  in  1681.

viz.,  Mary,  Hannah,  and  Sarah,  of  whom  only  the  date  of 
birth  is  given.  Moses  Cary  in  his  manuscript  wrote:  "The 
daughters  of  John  Cary:  One  married  a  Howard;  one, 
Dea.  William  Brett;  one,  Samuel  Allen;  one,  a  Thurston; 
and  two  of  them  Standishes."

gail, dau.  of  Samuel  Allen  and  his  second  wife,  Margaret  (French) 
(Lamb),  at  Bridgewater,  Dec.  7,  1670.  In  1680  he  removed  to  Bristol, 
where  he  resided  till  his  death  in  1721.  The  deed  to  his  land  in  Bristol 
was  granted  Sept.  14,  1680,  and  confirmed  by  the  General  Court,  Sept. 
29,  1680.  The  first  meeting  of  the  people  and  the  naming  of  the  town 
was  Sept.  I,  1681,  and  John  Cary  and  his  brother  David  were  present. 
He  became  a  prominent  man  in  the  town,  and  was  elected  a  Deacon 
of  the  church  at  its  organization,  and  held  the  office  till  his  death.  He 
was  one  of  the  first  "raters"  of  the  town,  and  appointed  Nov.  10,  1681 ; 
in  1693  was  recording  officer  of  the  County,  and  Clerk  of  the  peace; 
in  1694  was  Representative  to  the  General  Court.  His  wife  was  also 
of  good  family;  her  father,  Samuel  Allen,  came  from  Bridgewater, 
Eng.,  to  Braintree  in  1630;  in  1635  he  took  the  oath  of  allegiance,  and 
was  Town  Clerk,  Selectman,  Surveyor  of  highways.  Constable,  and 


64  John  Cary 

served  as  Deputy  three  times.  He  and  his  son  Samuel,  who  settled  in 
Bridgewater  in  1660,  both  fought  in  King  Philip's  War.  For  eight 
generations  this  family  has  been  identified  with  the  best  political  and 
religious  life  of  New  England.

that  they  had  sound  health,  strength  of  body,  soul,  and

SECTION  19-A. 

Rev.  Henry  Cary,  son  of  David,  Sec.  6,  b.  Bristol,  June  4,  1711; 
entered  Harvard  College  in  1729,  received  his  A.  B.  1733,  and  A.  M.  in 
1735,  and  became  a  Baptist  minister;  m.  about  1734,  and  lived  in  Ash- 
ford,  Ct.,  where  his  children  were  born.  Removed  to  Pawling,  Dutch- 
ess County,  N.  Y.,  where  he  was^the  first  regularly  ordained  minister, 
and  was  called  "Good  Priest  Cary;"  was  neighbor  to  James  Stark,  Sr., 
at  West  Mountain ;  afterwards  removed  to  the  John  Townsend  farm. 

About  1754  a  body  of  Connecticut  people  formed  an  association, 
known  as  the  "Susquehanna  Purchase,"  and  bought  of  the  Six  Nations 
all  the  land  between  the  Allegheny  and  Susquehanna  Rivers,  and  or- 
ganized the  county  of  Westmoreland,  Ct.  The  first  efTort  at  settlement, 
in  1763,  was  not  successful ;  the  actual  settlement  was  made  by  forty 
white  persons  in  1769.  On  May  10,  1773,  Henry  Cary  bought  of  Wil- 
liam Stark,  Sr.,  a  half  right  in  the  Susquehanna  Purchase ;  as  shown 
by  deed  Mar.  10,  1774,  he  was  resident  in  Westmoreland,  Litchfield 
County,  New  England  (now  Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.),  as  shown  by  deed 
made  to  him  by  Michael  Rood,  of  the  same  place.  In  177S  he  was 
Chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Safety  of  Dutchess  County,  N.  Y.  On 
June  14,  1778,  we  find  him  in  the  county  of  Luzerne,  Pa.,  as  shown  by 
power  of  attorney  given  to  Henry  Stark,  his  grandson ;  perhaps  about 
this  time  he  left  the  Wyoming  Valley. 


The  Plymouth  Pilgrim  77 

Dutchess  County  records  have  it  that  he  preached  there  shortly 
before  his  death,  in  the  old  Log  Meeting  House,  near  the  Camp  Meet- 
ing woods.  The  Vital  Statistics  of  Rhode  Island  state  that  he  died  in 
Vermont.  There  is  considerable  uncertainty  about  some  of  the  facts 
as  here  alleged.

small  pox,  July  30,  1777.  He  was  an  early  settler  at  Pawling, 
N.  Y.,  having  moved  there  subsequent  to  1755.  In  the  spring 
of  1773,  the  family  emigrated  to  the  Wyoming  Valley,  locat- 
ing at  Wilkes-Barre ;  Sept.  26,  1776,  he  enlisted  in  the  Second 
Independent  Co.,  located  at  Westmoreland,  and  his  son  joined 
Capt.  Simon  Spaulding's  command,  June,  1778.  This  son  was 
the  oldest  of  a  large  family.  On  the  day  of  the  Massacre — 
July  3,  1778,  the  widow  saved  herself  and  children  by  hiding 
in  a  field  of  corn ;  and  upon  finding  that  her  home  was  de- 
stroyed, gathered  what  she  could  and  led  her  children  all  the 
way  back  on  foot  to  her  old  home  in  Pawling,  N.  Y. ;  she  ar- 
rived at  her  sister  Chloe's,  who  m.  Col.  Pearce,  a  picture  of

a  parallel  in  the  world's  history." 

"The  route  of  Arnold's  detachment  lay  through  an  unknown 
wilderness.  The  march  itself  was  a  Campaign — a  Campaign  against 
the  forest  and  the  flood,  against  fatigue,  sickness,  and  famine.  The 
contest  proved  close  and  pitiless,  and  the  issue  remained  long  in 
doubt."  Quebec  was  still  300  miles  away ;  but  after  incredible  hard- 
ships, they  reach  the  goal  of  their  hopes,  and  on  the  night  of  Nov. 
13th,  they  crossed  the  St.  Lawrence,  and  with  a  handful  of  starving 
and  half-frozen  men,  they  made  an  attack  on  that  strongest  fortifi- 
cation on  the  Continent !  The  great  disaster  came  on  the  night  of 
Dec.  31st,  when  their  supreme  effort  was  repulsed,  and  some  were 
killed,  others  taken  prisoners  or  wounded.  The  long  winter  passed 
slowly,  and  in  early  May,  1776,  the  British  army  and  the  new  naval 
reinforcements  swept  them  up  the  St.  Lawrence  and  Lake  Champlain. 

John  Cary  reached  home  in  the  summer,  and  buys  a  farm  at 
Halifax,  Vt.,  adjoining  that  of  his  father.  Perhaps  too  enfeebled  by 
the  effects  of  the  Campaign  of  Quebec  to  keep  in  the  service,  he  hires 
a  man  to  go  in  his  place  in  1777,  and  this  man  was  killed  at  Saratoga. 
But  hearing  in  his  Green  Mountain  home  of  the  coming  of  Baum 
and  his  Hessians  to  attack  Bennington,  he  shoulders  his  musket  and 
trudges  over  the  mountains,  only  to  be  just  too  late  for  the  battle. 

Nov.  12,  1780,  he  marries  Mary  Rude,  at  Preston,  Ct.,  Rev.  Levi 
Hart,  D.  D.,  a  son-in-law  of  Dr.  Bellamy,  ofificiating.  From  Halifax, 
Vt.,  he  removed  to  Salem,  N.  Y.,  and  bought  a  farm ;  then,  April  29,

1783,  he  buys  another  farm  at  Belcher,  N.  Y.,  where  he  settles,  clear- 
ing up  his  farm  and  rearing  a  family.  He  was  a  good  singer,  and  a 
devout  man,  and  four  of  his  children  became  school  teachers.

John  Cary,  son  of  Eleazer,  Sec.  29,  b.  Bond's  Bridge,  Dutchess 
Co.,  N.  Y.,  May  7,  1756.  Went  with  his  father  to  the  Wyoming  Valley, 
Pa.,  in  1769;  and  in  1772  with  the  family  and  made  it  their  permanent 
home.  When  18  years  of  age,  and  the  settlers  being  in  great  need  of 
food,  he  volunteered  and  went  with  a  body  of  men  over  the  mountains 
on  foot  in  mid-winter  to  the  Delaware  River  for  flour;  they  had  to

cross  the  streams  by  first  breaking  the  ice,  stripping  and  wading 
through ;  the  load  assigned  to  the  lad  was  75  pounds. 

He  enlisted  under  Capt.  Durkee  in  the  Wyoming  Company,  and 
served  with  distinction  through  the  Revolution.  Was  with  Wash- 
ington at  Valley  Forge.  Late  in  1776  the  Wyoming  Companies  were 
ordered  to  join  Washington  in  New  Jersey  with  all  expedition,  and 
were  with  him  in  all  his  active  operations  until  the  summer  of  1778. 
But  the  danger  at  Wyoming  was  so  great  that  these  Companies  were 
ordered  to  the  relief  of  the  people  in  the  Valley,  but  they  were  too 
late  to  reach  the  scene  of  action ;  but  the  Officers  of  the  Company 
secured  horses,  and  by  rapid  riding  all  night  reached  the  Valley,  and 
being  served  a  hasty  lunch  by  Mrs.  Meyers,  went  into  action,  and 
were  all  killed  before  sunset ! 

By  the  exigencies  of  the  service  the  two  Wyoming  Companies 
were  reduced  to  one;  after  reaching  the  Valley,  they  remained  there 
till  Sullivan's  Expedition  was  ordered  to  proceed  against  the  Western 
Indians.  The)'  accompanied  it,  and  after  its  return  were  ordered  to 
join  Washington,  and  remained  with  him  till  the  close  of  the  War. 

John  Cary  was  called  the  Samson  of  his  Company,  and  it  was 
claimed  by  those  who  knew  him  intimately  that  he  resembled  Wash- 
ington. He  was  nursed  through  a  sickness  caused  by  these  hard- 
ships by  Mrs.  Susanna  (Mann)  Green,  and  afterwards  married  her, 
and  she  became  the  mother  of  all  his  children;  she  d.  in  1815,  and  he 
m.  Mrs.  Priscilla  Chrisman,  who  d.  in  1843,  ^"d  was  buried  in  the 
Hanover  Burying  Ground.  He  soon  took  to  his  bed  and  d.  Sept.  15, 
1844,  and  was  buried  in  the  Market  Street  Burial  Ground  with  Mili- 
tary honors.

Seth  Cary,  son  of  Ichabod,  Sec.  34,  b.  Bridgewater,  1747;  m.  and 
lived  in  Putney,  Vt. ;  he  was  a  Bible  student,  but  does  not  seem  to  have 
united  with  any  church ;  was  by  trade  a  Tanner,  and  he  and  his  wife 
were  buried  in  the  little  cemetery  adjoining  the  farm  of  Mrs.  M.  M. 
Bacon.  Mr.  Edward  M.  Cary,  Red  Oak,  la.,  gives  the  following  facts: 
He  was  in  Vermont  with  his  family  for  a  vacation,  and  as  he  went  into 
the  country  store  an  elderly  man  said  to  him,  "You  are  a  Cary." 
When  asked  how  he  knew,  he  said  that  he  had  their  hair  and  make-up. 
He  then  told  a  story  that  his  father  had  told  him  about  a  Dea.  Cary, 
of  Townsend.  The  old  Deacon  had  a  cart,  the  wheels  of  which  made 
a  great  creaking  and  frightened  horses.  A  neighbor  had  a  spirited 
horse  that  was  terrified  at  the  sight  of  the  old  cart.  One  night  when 
this  horseman  was  out,  this  man  and  another  took  the  old  cart  and  put 
it  into  the  driveway;  when  the  man  returned  the  horse  would  not  go 
in,  and  he  said  it  must  be  the  cart,  which  he  found  to  be  true.  This 
man  further  said  that  a  Cary  girl  married  William  Bacon,  of  Putney, 
and  on  writing  to  him  a  letter  was  received  from  his  widow,  as  he  had 
been  dead  for  twenty  years;  and  from  the  facts  she  gave  him,  and  what 
he  found  in  "Cary  Memorials,"  he  was  enabled  to  trace  his  family  line.

The  descendants  of  Col.  Simeon  Gary  and  his  daughter,  Martha, 
are  naturally  and  genealogically  descended  from  the  old  Puritan  stock, 
in  their  stanch  adherence  to  the  rigid  principles  of  their  forefathers. 
They  are  almost  without  exception  adherents  of  the  Congregational 
Church,  moral,  religious,  as  well  as  unusually  public  spirited,  giving 
Ifberally  of  time  and  money  toward  the  best  interests  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  they  dwell,  are  filling  positions  requiring  education, 
unusual  executive  ability,  and  good  judgment;  are  shrewd,  positive, 
and  aggressive,  but  tempered  with  reason  and  charity,  and  are  exert- 
ing influence  for  good  in  their  day  and  generation. 

Among  these  descendants  of  the  last  three  generations  we  find 
five  clergymen,  one  colporteur,  seven  Sunday  school  superintendents, 
seven  professors  and  school  teachers  who  make  it  their  occupation,  and 
six  others  who  have  taught  at  some  time ;  two  graduates  of  Normal 
School,  one  of  West  Point,  about  thirty  from  High  School,  one  physi- 
cian, one  dentist,  one  senator,  one  mayor,  two  aldermen,  eight  musi- 
cians including  choristers,  leaders,  organists,  and  trained  singers ;  two 
postmasters,  and  other  occupations  representing  tanners,  farmers,  car- 
penters, grocers,  hardware  merchants,  watchmakers,  shoemakers. 
These  include  thirteen  shoe  manufacturers,  a  singular  fact  being  that 
their  names  are  all  Keith. 

The  territory  comprising  Campello,  a  part  of  Brockton,  Mass., 
was  included  in  the  original  grant  set  of?  to  the  Rev.  James  Keith,  who 
was  the  first  pastor,  and  remained  56  years,  an  ancient  proprietor  of 
Bridgewater ;  and  the  land  upon  which  it  is  built  all  belonged  origi- 
nally to  the  Keith  family,  and  descendants  of  the  Rev.  James  Keith. 
Of  the  five  sons  and  one  daughter  of  Benjamin  Keith  and  Martha  Gary, 
four  located  in  Campello,  and  have  since  been  identified  with  the 
growth  of  the  town.

III.  Howard  Gary,  b.  Jan.  19,  1813.  At  the  age  of  nineteen  he 
joined  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  in  1838  he  en- 
tered the  New  England  Conference,  of  which  he  remained  a 
useful  and  honored  member  for  sixty-eight  years,  dying  Jan. 
21,  1906.  During  the  Civil  War  he  spent  two  years  in  the 
Army  Hospitals  as  the  Agent  of  the  Christian  Commission. 
Failing  health  compelled  him  to  ask  to  be  relieved  of  the 
burdens  of  the  pastorate,  and  he  entered  the  work  of  the 
American  Peace  Society  and  for  fourteen  3'ears  he  was  thus 
engaged ;  but  failing  eyesight  compelled  him  to  leave  that  con- 
genial service.  In  1844  he  m.  Eliza  Ann  Drew,  and  two  sons 
were  born  to  them,  both  of  whom  died  before  him.  In  his 
blindness  the  family  read  much  to  him,  and  he  was  thus 
kept  in  touch  with  passing  events.  He  died  as  he  had  lived, 
and  it  was  well  said  of  him,  "In  his  translation  the  saintliest, 
sweetest,  and  sanest  soul  that  many  have  been  privileged 
to  know  has   passed  on  to   his  abundant   reward."

Gen.  Samuel  Fenton  Gary,  son  of  William,  Sec.  96,  b.  Feb.  18, 
1814,  Cincinnati,  O. ;  grad.  Miami  University  1835 ;  grad.  at  Cincin- 
nati Law  College,  1837,  practicing  his  profession  in  Cincinnati  until 
1844,  when  he  abandoned  this  to  devote  his  time  and  energies  to  the 
promotion  of  the  Temperance  Reform.  He  lectured  in  all  parts  of 
twenty-seven  States  of  the  Union,  in  all  the  British  Provinces  of 
North  America,  and  in  all  the  leading  cities  and  towns  of  England, 
Ireland,  Scotland,  and  Wales;  he  edited  several  papers  and  magazines, 
and  was  elected  to  the  chief  office  of  the  Sons  of  Temperance  in  North 
America,  at  Baltimore,  Md.,  1847.  He  had  some  celebrity  as  a  political 
speaker,  and  was  elected  to  the  Fortieth  Congress,  from  the  Second 
Ohio  District.  In  January,  1873,  he  returned  to  the  practice  of  the 
law  in  Cincinnati.  For  some  years  he  devoted  his  leisure  time  in 
gathering  up  the  history  of  the  Carys,  which  was  issued  in  1874,  as  the 
"Cary  Memorials."  This  work  is  the  Cary  classic,  and  practically  has 
been  the  only  work  representing  the  line  of  John  Cary.  All  Carys 
owe  to  him  a  debt  of  gratitude  that  can  only  be  repaid  by  as  earnest 
work  for  the  Family  as  he  himself  gave  to  it.

(b.  Jan.  2^,  1833),  Aug.  15,  1854,  Amesbury,  Mass.  In  early  Hfe  he

into  the  home;  this  was  supplemented  by  a  piano,  which  the  lad  was 
allowed  to  pay  for.  At  sixteen  he  was  teaching  a  District  school,  and 
soon  after  was  teaching  Singing  schools  in  halls  and  church  vestries, 
having  taken  a  few  piano  lessons,  which  was  the  only  musical  instruc- 
tion received  during  his  minority.  He  joined  the  village  Brass  Band, 
and  played  at  "Musters"  and  such  like  occasions.  He  was  Instructor 
in  music  at  Cotting  Academy,  Arlington,  and  in  Harvard,  1879-1883, 
and  was  church  Organist  for  more  than  forty  years.  His  work  in 
teaching  music  in  the  Public  schools  had  a  wide  range :  Maiden,  Med- 
ford,  Melrose,  Reading,  Watertown,  Brookline,  and  Milton.  Possibly 
his  great  work  may  be  said  to  have  begun  when  he  entered  the  Public 
schools  of  Boston,  first  as  Instructor,  and  in  1884  as  Director,  continu- 
ing until  his  resignation  in  1900. 

In  the  midst  of  these  labors,  he  was  an  active  member  and  an 
official  in  the  Handel  and  Hayden  Society,  being  a  Director  six  years ; 
the  Librarian  of  the  Cecillia  Club,  and  for  a  number  of  years  an  exam-

later  3'ears  was  "Clovelly,"  facing  the  ocean  at  Winthrop,  Mass.

Albigense  Waldo  Gary,  son  of  Dr.  Joseph,  Sec.  107,  b.  Coventry, 
R.  I.,  May  23,  1801 ;  removed  to  Brockport,  N.  Y.,  about  1820,  where

manufactured  a  Rotary  Pump,  which  was  extensively  used  in  mills, 
factories,  etc.  He  m.  and  had 
Child : 

I.  Joseph  Clinton,  b.  1829,  Brockport,  N.  Y.  About  1850  he 
went  to  New  York  City,  and  exhibited  the  Rotary  Pump  in 
the  "Crystal  Palace,"  where  it  attracted  wide  attention  and 
interest.  With  this  Pump  as  a  basis  he  designed  a  Steam  Fire 
Engine,  about  i860,  which  propelled  itself.  It  proved  to  be 
very  eiifective  at  fires  in  the  city,  and  helped  to  save  a  great 
amount  of  property.  It  was  the  forerunner  of  the  later 
Steam  Fire  Engine,  and  was  probably  as  effective,  but  the 
idea  was  too  novel  and  strange  for  adoption  at  that  time,  and 
no  great  financial  success  came  of  it.  He  entered  Wall 
Street  about  1865,  and  became  a  factor  on  the  Stock  Ex- 
change, of  which  he  was  a  member  till  his  death  in  August,

Benjamin  Keith,  a  prominent  Shoe  Manufacturer  of  Campello  (Brock-

church  worker,  and  a  helper  in  every  good  cause.  Her  brother's 
Poem,  written  for  the  Cary  Reunion  following  her  death,  is  a  fitting 
tribute  to  her  loving  service. 

A  self-forgetful  life ;  and  we 

Often  forgot,  like  her,  to  see 
Whose  hand  it  was  that  wrought  the  deed, 
Who  spoke  the  word  that  met  the  need. 
Who  labored  on  while  none  gave  heed. 

But  now  we  see  what  she  saw  not, 
And  know  the  worth,  which  she  forgot, 

Of  her  own  self,  as  long  she  stood 

In  sacrifice  for  others'  good, 

A  type  of  Christian  womanhood.
