LORD ADAM1 DE KARRY was born Abt. 1170 in Castle Cary, Somerset, England. He married ANN TREVITT. She was born Abt. 1175 in England.Notes for L
ORD ADAM DE KARRY:Castle Kari is said to be approximately four miles north of Cadbury Castle, that of King Arthur.
ADAM DeKARY
Born 1170 Died_________?
Castle Cary Town in Somerset, England, 19 km/12 mi northeast of Yeovil.
Castle Cary was formerly a weaving town. Its main industry is the manufacture
of twine and textiles.
Adam DeKary was the Lord of Castle Kari in Somersetshire in 1198. Castle Kari
was located about four miles north of CADBURY CASTLE, the legendary CAMELOT
of King Arthur. The town has been fortified since Saxon times.
The present town of Castle Cary lies about thirty miles south of Bristol.
Springs near the town are the scource of the River Cary. In mideavel times,
Castle Kari was a prosperous manor of about 3220 acres of which 2400 were
plow land, 720 were woodland, and 52 were meadowland. It had three
gristmills, eight swineherds (large hog raising pens or operations) paying
rent per year, and twenty teams of commonly owned oxen of eight head each for
heavy plowing and hauling.
There is also a certain manor house in the region, about six or so miles
distant from Castle Cary town center. This is LYTES MANOR, a large old
English country estate that dates from Mideavel times and has been the family
home of the LYTES family. These people were active in the English church as
preachers and hymnologists.
A certain Baron Dekari participated in the Crusades of 1095, but his relation
to Adam DeKary, if any, is not known.
______________________________________________________________________________
_____
We do not know how the castle or the town attained the name of CARY, but
presume that it was through the marrage of a certain HENRY LOVELL, who was
Walter Douai's" Tennent in Chief " (a high ranking non aristocrat) to an
aristocratic woman, ALICE DeKARI, exact dates not established. This marrage
led to the assumption of the name DeKARI by the family. Walter Douai was
apparently the original recipiant of the grant from King William I after the
Norman invasion, the completion of the first inventory/census, and the
publication of the "Domesday Book".
______________________________________________________________________________
_____
Upon completion of his conquest of Britain, William Duke of Normandy,
subsequently, William I King of
England, ordered what has become regarded as the first modern census to be
taken. Once the assets of his new realm were inventoried, William started a
policy of Feudal grants to worthy officers in his service. In this manner, a
seris feudal "Manor Estates" with masters loyal to the crown were created
throughout the length and breath of England. One such estate ultimately
migrated into the hands of the DeKari family.
William's inventory, "The Domesday Book", as it eventually came to be called,
mentions the man, Adam DeKari. DeKari became the common version of this
family's name prior to it's evolution into the present CARY.
The town of Castle Cary has no recorded history prior to the Normans,
although a Saxon charter mentioned Cari in 725 AD. Actually, history tells
that the Romans controlled England from the southern coast to a demarcation
separating Roman Britain from Scotland at the narrow waist of the island
currently identified at "Hadrian's Wall". They controlled the island from the
sea in the east to approxamately the modern border with Wales. To protect
their realm from raiding Welshmen, the Romans built a seris of "Castri", or
fortified strong points along the western border of Britannia. One such
Roman castri was at the sitein Somerset that we now call Castle Cary.
Several years after the conquest, the Normans built a castle at the foot of
Lodge Hill, a small hill in the center of the present town thus giving the
town part of its name. The times following the death of William saw several
local disputes among the various Baronial Lords of the region. In 1138 King
Stephen* besieged the castle and forced its surrender by fire. Again in 1147
the rebuilt castle was subjected to siege in such a local conflict. Although
earthworks can still be seen on the side of Lodge Hill, no trace of the
original castle remains. Archeaological examination shows that the central
"Keep" was of Norman stone construction and further shows signs of
destruction by fire. It may be that the "Horse Pond" in present Castle Cary
is in fact part of the original castle moat.
*King Stephen of England was supposed to marry Matilda, Daughter of Henry I
(Capet) of France-he refused, that caused quite a stir and resulted in the
described action at Castle cary.
As "Lords of the Manor" it can reasonably be assumed that the "DeKARI " or
later " DeCary" or still later "CARY" people were addressed by the title
"Sir".
Further, it should be noted that since the events mentioned here occured
prior to or during the Reign of King Stephen, 1135-1154, and since Adam
DeKari was not born until 1170, all these events predate the documented start
of the Cary/DeKari line.

IR JOHN CARY:Written of John: "Sir John Cary was made a baron of the exhequer by King second. In this post he continued many years, manifesting in all his actions an inflexable virtue and honesty. And indeed, it fell out at last that he had an extrodinary occasion laid before him, for the proof and tryal thereof: upon which he proved as true as steel, for the greatest dangers could not affright him from his duty and loyalty to his distressed master King Richard II, unto whom he faithfully adhered when most others had forsaked him; to his present loss indeed, but to his future eternal renown. For in the catastrophe of that king's reign, he reverend judge, unable and unwilling to bow, did freely and confidently speak his mind. He opposed the proceedings for procurators, in regard to his oath, to take King Richard's resignation, his true and undoubted sovereign. This cause him pursued with so much zeal and earnestness, that at the entrance of Henry IV into the English crown, he was by that prince banished his country and his goods and lands were confiscated."
Named in deed #1387, Richard II.
Named in inquisition 20, Richard II, #127 (1397).
John Cary is SIR JOHN CARY. He was Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer in 1386.
Because of his loyalty to King Richard II, he was banished to Ireland in 1388
where he died in 1404.
This individual was variously a judge in the royal courts, and in 1373 he
became warden (harbormaster) of the Devonshire ports.
Ultimately this individual was impeached by Henry IV for his loyalty, in
1388, to Richard II. This impeachment cost Sir John Cary the lands around
Castle Cary in Somerset that had been in Cary hands since the time of William
I. Henry IV was out of the house of Lancaster, therefore, it can be presumed
that the Cary family, at this moment, was out of YORK and not disposed to
support the Lancasterian claim to the throne.

She was born in Powderham, Devon, England.Notes for S
IR ROBERT CARY:A proof of the great prowess in arms of this gallant knight is recorded in the following exploit: "In the beginning of the reign of Henry V a certain knight-errand of Arragon performed many feats of arms, to his high commendation, arrived here in England, where he challenged any man of his rank and quality to make tryal of his valor and skill in arms. This challenge Sir Robert Cary accepted. A cruel encounter and a long and doubtful combat was waged, in Smithfield, London. Sir Robert Cary vanquished the presumptuous Arragon; for which King Henry V restored unto him good part of his father's lands, which for his father's loyalty to King Richard II, he had been deprived of by King Henry, IV."
Not sure whether Sir. Phillip Cary, b. 1400 is the son of Jane Hanchford or other wife, Margaret Courtenay.
Named in inquisition #20, Richard II, #127 & Charter 9, September 19, Richard II, (1397).

Note: William Cary lived 1437-1471. This included the period of the "Wars of
the Roses" between the respective houses of YORK (The Red Rose) and the house
of LANCASTER (The White Rose).
Dates 1455-1485.
Lancaster, House of English royal house, a branch of the Plantagenets. It
originated in 1267 when Edmund (died 1296), the younger son of Henry III, was
granted the earldom of Lancaster. Converted to a duchy for Henry of Grosmont
(died 1361), it passed to John of Gaunt in 1362 by his marriage to Blanche,
Henry's daughter. John's son, Henry IV, established the royal dynasty of
Lancaster in 1399, and he was followed by two more Lancastrian kings, Henry V
and Henry VI.
York English dynasty founded by Richard, Duke of York (1411-60). He claimed
the throne through his descent from Lionel, Duke of Clarence (1338-1368),
third son of Edward III, whereas the reigning monarch, Henry VI of the rival
house of Lancaster, was descended from the fourth son, John of Gaunt. The
argument was fought out in the Wars of the Roses. York was killed at the
Battle of Wakefield in 1460, but the following year his son became King
Edward IV. Edward was succeeded by his son Edward V and then by his brother
Richard III, with whose death at Bosworth the line ended. The Lancastrian
victor in that battle was crowned Henry VII, and consolidated his claim by
marrying Edward IV's eldest daughter, Elizabeth, thus founding the House of
Tudor.
*Torquay Resort in southern England, 41 km/ 25 mi south of Exeter; from
April 1998, administrative headquarters of Torbay unitary authority;
population (1991) 59,600. It is a sailing centre and has an annual regatta in
August. Tourism is very important. Torquay lies in the area known as the
English Riviera on account of its mild climate and exotic plants, including
palm trees. The Domesday survey identifies part of the site of Torquay with
the Norman period, recording that William I gave the manor of Cockintone (now
Cockington) to a follower, Hostiarius. But by far the earliest link with the
past is Kent's Cavern, in the Ilsham valley. A large and fine collection of
the remains of extinct animals and Old Stone Age the implements forms part of
the exhibits at the Museum of the Torquay Natural History Society. In 1196
the Premonstratensians (a Roman Catholic monastic order) founded Torre Abbey,
the ruins of which, together with the restored Monastic Barn and the Mansion
House (dating in some parts from about the 15th century) are a conspicuous
feature today on the seafront. The development of Torquay as a modern seaside
resort dates back to the end of the 18th century when `Tor Kay´ or `Tor Key ´
was no more than a cluster of fishermen's huts on the shore, with the village
of Tor (or Torre) a short way inland. To deal with the threat of invasion by
Napoleon, ships of the fleet constantly used Torbay as an anchorage, and
houses were built on the shores of the bay for the accommodation of officers'
families. Terracotta clay, and marble are found near the town.

One "concludes" that since he acknowledged one child our of wedlock, he would acknowledge another, had he been his son.???

Cary 1911 Boston, MA.) was born 1610 in Bristol, Somersetshire, England, and died October 31, 1681 in Bridgewater, Massachusetts (Source: Vital Records of Bridgewater, MA to the year 1850, Deaths, page 445, CARY. John Sr., h. Elizebeth, Oct. 31, 1680. "John Cary's death according to the record...must be a mistake,...his death was probably in 1681."). He married ELIZABETH GODFREY (Source: "John Cary the Pilgrim" by Seth C. Cary 1911 Boston, MA.) November 04, 1644 in Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts, daughter of FRANCIS GODFREY and ELIZABETH. She was born October 29, 1620 in Duxbury, Plymouth, MA, and died November 01, 1680 in Bridgewater, Massachusetts (Source: Vital Records of Bridgewater, MA to the year 1850, Deaths, page 445, CARY. Elizebeth, w. John Sr., Nov. 1, 1680.).Notes for J
OHN CARY:John Cary, 1610-1681, came to American with one hundred pounds after a dispute with his brothers on the settlement of their father's estate. He was born near Bristol, Somersetshire, England, educated in France, and came to America about 1634. He is said to have been the first Latin School teacher in the Plymouth Colony. He removed to Duxbury and in 1644 married Elizabeth Godfrey; they had six sons and six daughters. He was at Braintree, Mass in 1652. John was one of the proprietors of Bridgewater, Mass and one of the first settlers when the town was incorporated in 1656. He was the Bridgewater Town Clerk from 1657 until his death in 1681. John Cary was among the most respectable of the first settlers and his family one of the most influential in the town.
There is controversy on who John's father was. The following information is provided by David Carey: Matawadave@aol.com
"The parents of John Cary, the Plymouth Pilgrim, have yet to be positively
identified. Most theories have been disproved. He was not the son of John
Cary and Elizabeth Hereford. Their son John was married in 1613 (when the
Pilgrim was about 3 years old) and died in Hackney , Middlesex, England,
before 1665. Proof is found in the pedigree submitted by their grandson John
Cary, the famous London and Virginia merchant, to the Earl Marshall of
England which resulted in confirmation of his right to bear the arms of the
noble Carys of Devon (ref. College of Arms, Book of Grants IV) Copies of
those documents are filed in the British Library (Stowe MS 670, folio 229)
and in the Society of Genealogists Library, London.
John the Pilgrim was not the son of Elizabeth and William Cary who was
mayor of Bristol in 1621. That theory was proposed by Henry Grosvenor Cary
in his The Cary Family in America and is disproved by the Heralds College
pedigree of the Bristol Carys. The son of Elizabeth and William Cary was the
John Cary who married Elizabeth Hereford (see above).
The theory that John the Pilgrim was the son of Walter Cary and Grace
Browne has not been disproved or proved positively. Walter died in 1633,
about the time the Pilgrim came to Plymouth after a dispute over his father's
will leaving his entire estate to his wife Grace in order to "tie and bind them [his children] the more to be loving and dutiful to their tender and carefu
