Angelina - Identifying your William D (David) Cary has been quite a challenge. He is
listed in some family trees on
Ancestry.com, including Hunt Family Tree and The Trask
Family. They identify his father as George H. Cary, but they only go back to his paternal
grandfather William. Fortunately, Kathy Powell's (kgbl1338(a)aol.com) Powell Family
trees trace George H's ancestry back to John Cary of Bridgewater, Mass.
You won't find George H's line to John in Seth Cary's book John Cary the
Plymouth Pilgrim. Seth mistakenly got off on a Crary line. However, Luther Cary, the son
of Seth's secretary, continued his research, found the mistake, and corrected it in a
supplement to Seth's book. Luther's descendants gave me his genealogy files,
including the supplement research and I'm using it to help people like you.
Using Ancestry.com's excellent U.S. census program, I was able to document your line
back to Benjamin Cary of New York, Kentucky, and Virginia. There is too much data to
include here, but if you'll send me a street or post office address, I'll mail it
to you. Meanwhile, here is an abbreviated pedigree:
