Message Board Post:
My great-great-great grandfather, Joshua Cary was born 1808 in Albany County, NY and lived
all his adult life in Otsego County, NY. His father was John Cary who was born in New York
possibly between the years 1765-1790.
I have searched many different families and tried to get a connection to any John
Cary's. I haven't found any information on a John Cary in Albany or Otsego County;
therefore, I've decided to look into the counties surrounding Otsego and Albany
Counties and the census' between 1800-1830. The last census I have with Joshua in it
is 1840 and his first child was born in 1831. So in 1830 and before that he must have been
with his parents or a family member.
I've found a John Cary in the 1810 census of Hillsdale, Columbia, NY with one son and
a daughter. The son is in the right age group to be my Joshua Cary. Then in 1820 I found
another John Cary in Pettersburg, Rensselaer, NY with 2 sons and one daughter. One son
being in the right age group to be my Joshua Cary. I guess John could have moved in the 10
years. I would like to know if this is the same John Cary in both census' and if
anyone has any more information about him and his family. Or any suggestions where I can
find more information that may lead me to know if he's the John I'm looking for or
if I can cross him off my list too. I don't know where he is in 1830 or where he was
in 1800. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Paula Cary
