CARY GENEALOGY.
The first of the name on record was Adam Carye, of Carye Castle in Devon, England, Esq., who lived in 1208 and married Amy, daughter of Sir William Trewit, Knight. The Devonshire Herald's Visitations of 1620 gives fourteen generations of his descendants. His grandson's great-great-grandson was Sir John Carye, Knight, Chief Baron of the Exchequer in the reign of King Henry IV, who was banished into Ireland for politieal offenses. His son Sir Robert Carye was a favorite of King Henry V. "In his time eame out of Aragon a lusty gentleman of England, and ehallenged to do feites of arms with any English gentleman without exception. This Robert Carye hearing thereof, made suite forthwith to the Prince, that he might answer the challenge. . At the time and day prefixed both parties met and did perform sundrie feites of arms, but in the end Robert did give the foils and overthrow the Aragon Knight, disarmed and spoiled him. This so well pleased the Prince that he received him into great favor, eaused him to be restored to the most part of his father's lands and willed him, also, for a perpetual memorie of his vietorie, that he should henee- forth give the same arms, as the Aragon Knight, which both he and all his sueeessors to this day enjoyed which is-Argent, on bend sable, three roses argent-for before they did bear Gules

The arms of the Carys of Bristol and Virginia are identical with those of Sir Robert Cary, of Devon, just referred to. There is a tradition in Virginia that Sir Henry Cary, Knight, a Royalist leader, who went into exile after the defeat of Charles I, came to Virginia and some of the descendants of Miles have claimed descent from him.

VIRGINIA FAMILIES
In September 1851, Mr. Eggleston found on a farm called "Bensalls," near Warwick Inn, then occupied by Mr. Lucas, a dilapidated tombstone in five fragments. Putting the pieces to- gether, it was found to bear a coat-of-arms and the following inscription :
Here lyeth ye body of Miles Cary, Esq., Only son of John Cary and Alice his wife, Daughter of Henry Hobson of ye city of Bristol. Alderman, he was born in ye city and departed this life ye 10th day of June, 1667, about the forty-seventh year of his age, leaving four sons and three daughters (viz: ) Thomas, Ann, Henry, Bridget, Elizabeth, Miles and William.
The will of "Myles Cary" (recorded in Book A, p. 448, June 21st, 1667) corroborates the statement of the epitaph. The coat- of-arms of the original colonist is represented on articles handed down from early days, with this motto: "Sine Deo Careo."

I. Miles Cary1, Esq.,* b. 1620, d. 1667, came to Virginia 1640 or "1646," and settled in Warwick Co., where he married Anne, daughter of Thomas Taylor, one of the earliest settlers. He lived on an estate known as "Magpie Swamps," obtained from his father-in-law, Capt. Taylor, which he devised to his son, Thomas Cary. He mentioned in his will two houses in England, presum- ably in Bristol, one in Baldwin Street the other in St. Nicholas Street, to be sold for the benefit of his daughters. He owned two thousand acres of land, well stocked; numerous slaves, a mill and a store. His children were born in 1645 to 1666:
*NOTE .-- Council and General Court Records, 1670. Col. Miles Cary, late of Warwick, by his will, among several bequests and legacies, directed a sale to be made of his two houses in the city of Bristol, Kingdom of England; one of them situated in Belame Street and the other house situated in St. Nicholas Street, and that the produce of money they should be sold for should be equally divided among his three daughters, to wit: Anne, Bridget, and Elizabeth Cary.
