I'm looking for a book authored by Finton Car(e)y which was probably
published between 1941 and 1960. Does anyone know what it is? He is a
descendant of Joseph Cary and Benjamin Carey but I don't know which child is
Finton's father.
I'm looking for descendants of Joseph Cary who include the following:
1. JOSEPH1 CARY was born 31 March 1799 in VA, and died 10 March 1888 in
Washington Co., TN. He married CATHARINE. She was born 18 April 1802 in TN,
