I'm currently a junior in college hoping to qualify for scholarships based on my
great-great-grandfather's Civil War service. John Brune Cary was born in 1840 (I'm
assuming in Virginia, as he was a son of that long line of "Wilson Miles" or
"Wilson Jefferson" Cary's) and served in the First Maryland Cavalry for the
CSA. The only information I've been able to track down is that he was a private both
on entrance and discharge from the cavalry. If anyone knows of any other reliable sources,
or whether those First Maryland Cavalry biographical novels have any merits, reply to this
or drop me an email. My great-grandfather (who married Frances Daniel Cary, the daughter
of John Brune Cary) put together a lot of useful information on the family, so if anyone
else is interested in this particular line of Cary's (including the marriage of Thomas
Jefferson's sister into the family), feel free to ask for some information and
I'll see what I can track down in his impressive college of p!
re-Internet information!!
