..........2 JOSEPH CARY was born in 1732.

.........2 Barnabas Cary was born on 03 Jul 1733 in Bridgewater, Plymouth, MA, USA. He died on 23 Jul 1788 in Luzerne County, PA. He married Mary Scott, daughter of Daniel Scott and Mary Whipple, in 1755. She was born on 07 May 1735 in Scituate, RI. She died on 31 Oct 1812 in Luzerne CO, PA.

Notes for Barnabas Cary:

This Barnabas and another Barnabas are quite mixed up in history. Their wives and children and Revolutionary War records are also very confused. Seth, in his "Plymouth Pilgrim" book made a major mistake in identifying the wrong Barnabas as son of Joseph. The best source for Barnabas Cary information is Luther Cary's Supplement to Seth Cary's John Cary the Plymouth Pilgrim. Luther distributed copies of his supplement to most of the major genealogical libraries and is available through The Church of Latter Day Saints.

Luther found that the surname of a Roger CRARY's children and their descendants was spelled variously: Crary, Carrary, Correrey, and Carey as well as Cary.

Joseph Cary's son Barnabas was born in Attleboro, Mass. on 3 Jul 1733 according to local records but on 26 July 1735 according to his own Bible records. He died 23 Jul 1788 in Luzerne Co., PA, i.e., the Wyoming Valley.

According to Luther, it was Barnabas CRARY'S son Barnabas Jr., who spelled his surname Carey, who served in the Revolutionary War. Junior was born in 1759. As Luther remarks, the DAR has many members erroneously qualified under the misidentification of Barnabas Cary as Barnabas Carey. Luther Cary in his research indicates that this Barnabas is mixed up with a

Barnabas Crary. Crary later changed his name to Cary and is the one that wound up in Rindge, New Hampshire. Strange that they both had at least four of their children named the same names.

These are some of the sources that Luther sites for his findings. Most of this is on file with the New England Historic Genealogical Society Library in Boston.
