I'm looking for connections to:
James Carey born about 1841 in Canada and lived and died in Ohio. He married
to Mary____ . They had 12 children which are: (not necessarily in this
order)
Rose V. Carey, twin 1883
James Carey, twin 1883
Lucille Carey
Emmet Carey
Patrick Carey
William Carey
Frank Carey
John Carey
Mary C. Carey
Gertrude Carey
Alice Carey
Nellie Carey
G'day List,
Just reading through some CAREY material I have and I find a reference that
Sir George CAREY/CARY 1541 to 1617 was one of the founders of the Colony of
Virginia (presumably Jamestown about 1607). He was apparently knighted by
Queen Elizabeth for his prominent role in the defence of the Devon coast
against the Spanish Armada. He married firstly Wilmotta GIFFORD and
secondly Letitia RICH. I have no details as to children and I do not know
how prominent a role he had as a founder of Virginia. Would be interested
in any information or on line links for info. I'm also wondering if he died
in Virginia or returned to England prior to his death.
Cheers
Chris in Adelaide
