Hello Lyle (and other Cary researchers),
I just started researching the Cary/Carey families in Delaware so I
don't yet know much about them. I did think the following was worth
mentioning, though.
There was a Collins Carey who was in the War of 1812 and he was from
Delaware. The name doesn't show up in the DE census index, though,
until 1830 -- Sussex Co., Broadkiln Hundred, p. 20. There is also a
Comfort Carey listed in the 1800 DE Sussex Co. census 01300-01201-01. I
don't see any Solomon Cary/Carey listed in any of the 1800-1840 DE
census indices. I don't know if these could be related to the ones you
mention, but thought the similarities were worth mentioning.

Hello,
Looking for information on these Carry/Careys in MD.
Thomas the Immigrant-son William-son Jonathan-son Solomon-son Solomon.
I am especially interested in the last two Solomons and any information
on them and records.
These two Solomons and the related Carey surnames in these Records:
Worchester Co.,MD Land Records by Ruth T. Dryden
Speedwell
Patented on 13 August 1725 by John Townsend for 100 acres
22 March 1738 John Townsend with wife Ansley Townsend sold to Solomon
Carey.
23 July 1778 Solomon Carey gave to son Solomon Jr 100 acres
18 Dec. 1789 Solomon Carey sold 23 acres to Smith Carey.
Balks Speedwell
Patented in 1725 by John Towasin Jr for 100 acres.
16 Nov. 1774 Addition To Balks Speedwell patented by John Carey 193 3/4
acres.
12 or 22 May 1794 Solomon Carey s/o Solomon with wife Comfort Carey sold
to John Tarr Addition to Balks Speedwell in Mattapony 100, 193 3/4 acres
except 19 acres sold to Smith Carey. All rights.
26 July 1794 James Melvin with wife Elizabeth Melvin sold to Stayton
Trader of Acco. Co.,VA 84 1/2 acres of Balks Speedwell & Melvins Lott
Careys Addition

24 Oct 1795 Samuel Carey sold to Stephen Pollitt 8 acres.
1801 Careys Addition Enlarged patented by John Carey 115 acres.
Dear Harbour
Patented on 12 Feb. 1760 by Solomon Carey for 103 acres
1783 tax -Solomon Carey Jr. 103 acres, Mattapony 100
9 June 1785 Solomon Carey sold to Nehemiah Holland 103 acres
28 July 1786 Nehemiah Holland sold to Solomon Carey 103 acres
21 Oct 1796 Solomon Carey with wife Comfort Carey sold to Hezekiah
Johnson 112 1/2 acres
10 Feb. 1797 Hezekiah Johnson sold to Arthur Price 4 1/4 acres
1809 Hezekiah Johnson willed to John Mitchell Johnson 112 acres.
I think the above Solomon JR and wife Comfort are my line that went to
Amherst Co.,VA and were first recorded there in Oct 1798 with a son
Daniel's land purchase. The males that married in VA were Solomn Jr,
Daniel, William, George, and Frederick. These males match the amount of
males on the 1783 tax list for Solomon Jr on the Worchester Co.,MD 1783
tax list.
This will listing Collins and Solomon Carey:
Thompson, John Sr; Worcester Co.,MD; 28 Apr 1768; 30 Mar 1770
To wife Elizabeth; Children: Seton, James, John, Priscilla Truit,
William, SARAH CARY, Esther Huston and Leah. Grandson SOLOMON CARY, son
of my daughter Sarah. grandson COLLEN CARY, son of my daughter Sarah.
Ex: wife Elizabeth
Wit: Benajmin Phillips, William Sharp, and EDWARD CARY.
Who is this Edward Carey and which Solomon is this? What happened to
this Solomon Carey? Collins shows up in Dorchester Co.,Md on the 1790
census and later Caroline Co.,MD census and possibly on the DE census.
