Subject: [(Cary)] Mary Boleyn Cary
I managed to find the article in the 1997 Genealogist's Magazine
about
Mary
Boleyn Cary's children by Henry VIII when I was in Boston
Wednesday. The
author
traces the dates of the affair between Henry VIII and Mary Cary and
shows
how
they coincide with the births of her only two "Cary"
children. He also
discusses how the two children were treated "royally" by Henry VIII and by
their
half-sister Elizabeth I when all the rest of the Boleyn family were
severely
oppressed after the beheading of Anne Boleyn. He quotes several
contemporary
sources that affirmed the Carys paternity. If the theory is true,
it
would
mean that there are a large number of American descendants of Henry
VIII
via
Catherine Cary>>> Anne Knollys>>> Hon. John West,
of VA and Penelope West
of
MA. If any listers want a copy, e-mail me privately. Thanks,
Jay
