Hello Cousin--
My great,great grandfather is Anthony Bird Cary, so it is a pleasure to hear from another
member of the Staten Island Cary family.
According to my information, Anthony Bird Cary is the grandson of Samuel Cary and his
wife Margaret, since he is the son of Richard Seaman/Simon Cary and his wife Judith
Bird/Baird/Bard. This couple (Richard and Judith) had nine children:Thomas S., Alvin B.
(or Abraham), Elizabeth, Catherine, Richard C.M., Anthony Bird/Baird/Bard/Beard, Joshua
B., Samuel, and William Slanderwick.
Four of these children migrated to Louisiana; Samuel, William Slanderwick, Joshua and
Anthony B.
Our ancestor Anthony B. married Adelaide Steele and had two sons; Samuel Budd Cary and
Zachary Taylor Cary. Samuel died as a child, and Adelaide either died or became
incapacitated, thus Zachary T. was raised by his maternal grandparents, the Steeles.
Zachary became my great grandfather.
This is getting lengthy--I would love to hear from you to share further information. May
ask if you are in Louisiana or have Louisiana connections? Perhaps we could get together
via email.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Elsie Cary Prejean
