In 1739 Jonathan Cary bought land of Henry Pownall at Charlestown for one hun- dred and ten pounds and part of this land he conveyed later to his son John in 1772. When Charlestown was burned by the British in 1775 he and his aged wife found refuge in Reading and their names are on the list of refugees to whom aid was given. His last years were doubtless spent with his children. His brother James married, in 1729, Rebecca French, of Concord, Massachusetts, and their only son died young.

(II) John, son of Jonathan Cary, was born at Charlestown, May 29, 1736, died May 12, 1790. He was a shipwright by trade and a mast and spar maker in Charlestown. When the British burned Charlestown he lost his house on Maudlin street and removed tem- porarily to the malt house near the river, thence to Reading, Massachusetts, where he occupied half a house with a Bowman family. He was employed by the government to built boats at Cambridge. Later he returned to Charlestown and lived in the old fort that the British evacuated. He built a new house on Maudlin street of timber hauled from Lexing- ton. His family Bible, printed in 1759, by Thomas Basket, of Oxford, England, is in the possession of his descendants.

(IV) Isaac Harris, son of Jonathan (2) Cary, was born in the old homestead on Hench- man's Lane, North End, Boston, November 3, 1803. He received his education in the public schools. When a youth he was "bound out" as an apprentice, but before he came of age he bought his time, and started in business for himself as a dealer in horn and ivory, Wash- ington street, Boston. He worked energetically and tirelessly in his business, often starting as early as one o'clock in the morning for Salem where he bought goods of the importers in the East Indian and African trade. A few years later, in 1824, he and his brother, William H. Cary, formed a partnership and engaged in the dry and fancy goods business at 50 Washing- ton street, Boston. As their business increased and prospered they built a granite front build-
ing on Washington street for the store. In 1827 a branch of the business was established at the corner of Wall and Pearl streets, New York City, and this branch was the nucleus of the great business developed by his brother who took charge of it from the beginning. Isaac was interested in the New York business for several years, devoting his time exclusively to the Boston concern. He finally sold his business, and for several years conducted a similar store in New Orleans, but disliking the climate and other conditions there, he returned to Boston and devoted his time and capital to real estate. He bought large tracts of land in the West Roxbury or Jamaica Plain district of Boston, and developed the property, build- ing houses and selling building lots. His home in Jamaica Plain was an extensive estate among the famous pudding stone rocks of that section and he derived much pleasure in laying out and cultivating his place. He had many drives built through the spacious estate and took pleasure in naming them and even the prominent ledges he designated by names such as Sunset, Jerusalem and Philippines. His house was on Forest Hill street, attractive in architecture and beautiful in its appointments. The improvement and landscape work in Franklin Park, near his home, was due in large measure to his efforts and influence.
He was a typical self-made man, starting without means and building up a large fortune ; having a common school education and becom- ing a man of great learning and intellectual attainments. He was upright as well as ener- getic, of sterling character and extraordinary capacity for work, of strong will, sound judg- ment and pleasing manners. He was a natural leader of men and his advice was sought by all classes and conditions of men, especially in his later years of ripened wisdom and lengthened experience. He was a useful and influential citizen, especially interested in the affairs of his own section of the city. In early life he was a Whig in politics, but became a Republican when the party was organized and continued one until his death. He was a promi- nent member of the Unitarian church and his home was often the place of meeting for min- isters and prominent laymen of this faith. He was an intimate friend of the pastor, Rev. Robert Waterson, and a liberal contributor to the support and work of the society.
He married, February 22, 1831, Phebe P. Pratt, born August 15, 1803, daughter of Will- iam and Mary (Wyman) Pratt, of Roxbury. Her father was a currier. Mrs. Cary survived

JOHNSON Captain Edward Johnson, immigrant ancestor, was born in Canterbury, county Kent, England, and baptized there September 16 or 17, 1598, he was son of William Johnson. He came to Charlestown with the first immigrants, but soon returned to England, and about 1635 or 1637 brought his wife, seven children and three servants, to New England. He was a man of influence in the colony, and resided in Woburn, where he held many important offices. At the first meeting of the commissioners for the settlement of the new town, he presented a plan of the territory to be included within the limits, and was appointed the first recorder or town clerk. He was active in founding the first church, and commanded the first military company in Woburn. He was the author of some unique lines at the beginning of the first volume of the Woburn town records, and also of "Wonderworking Providences of Sion's Savior in New England." first printed in Lon- don in 1653. He was famous as a surveyor and early explorer, and was appointed in 1665 by the general court to make a map of the colony, in conjunction with William Stevens. In 1672, after his death, the general court passed an order regarding the chronicle of the early history of the colony, which reads as
follows: "The court considering how many ways the providences of God hath mercifully appeared in behalf of his people in these parts, since their coming into this wilderness, and us of the colony in particular, do judge it our duty to endeavor that a register or Chronicle may be made of the several passages of God's providence, protecting of and saving from many eminent dangers, as well in transporta- tion, as in our abode here making provision beyond what could, in reason, have been expected, and preventing our fears many a time; so that our posterity and the generation that shall survive, taking view of the kindness of God to their fathers, it may remain as an obligation upon them to serve the Lord their God with all their hearts and souls." The court, therefore, appointed a committee "to make diligent inquiry in the several parts of the jurisdiction concerning anything of moment that has passed. and in particular of what has been collected by Mr. John Winthrop Sen., Mr. Thomas Dudley, Mr. John Wilson Sen., Captain Edward Johnson, or any other ; that so, matter being prepared, some meet person may be appointed by this court to put the same into form; that so, after perusal of the same, it may be put to press." No fuller account of the origin and settlement of a town of equal age in New England has been given than that by Captain Johnson in his "Wonder- working Providence." He died in Woburn, April 23, 1672. His will was dated May 15, 1671, and the inventory, returned May II, 1673, gives the account of the estate as seven hundred and five pounds, five shillings and six pence. Of this amount about half was for property in England. He married Susan or Susanna -, who died March 7, 1689-90. Her will was dated December 14, 1689, and proved March 2, 1690-91.
