Hi Chuck,
I can't make a connection with you as of yet, but my CAREY relations are
also from NJ and they moved to OH. The earliest relation I have is:
Ezra CAREY(CARY) - b. 1735 in Morris Co., NJ d. 1828 Shelby Co., OH m. in NJ
to Lydia Thompson .# They had 2 children that I have been able to find:
Cephas CAREY- b. Dec. 25, 1775 in Elizabeth City, NJ d. Mar. 13, 1868
Sidney, Shelby Co., OH Married 3 women and had a total of 16 children. His
second marriage took place in Miami Co., OH (my line)# # -
Information from "History of Shelby Co. OH 1883"
George CAREY b. 1793-1795 in Guernsey Co., OH m. Jan. 31, 1815 in Madison
Co., OH to Barbary Shover* * - I found this son listed in the IGI.
Have not verified any of this myself., as of yet.
I have not been able to track down Ezra's parents. I do know that Ezra is
the 5th generation of John CARY who came to the Plymouth Colony in 1634.
(According to the History of Shelby Co., OH) I have a copy of the excerpt.
If you would like, I can scan it and e-mail it to you.
Don't know if this has been of any help or not, but thought I'd send you
my information.
Sincerely,
Therese Tinklepaugh

Dear CARY-L members,
I've been just lurking since I signed up awhile ago and haven't seen
anybody who seems at all related to me. So I'll post some information on my
own CAREY (note the correct spelling!) line just in case somebody happens
to know anything...
My farthest-back ancestor that I know anything about is:
George Carey
b 1759 (?) in Essex County NJ (?)
d 1846 in Paulding or Miami County OH
m Phoebe Clark
b 1765 (?) in NJ
d Feb 1850 in OH
The information on George and Phoebe is very sketchy. We believe they
migrated from the area around Elizabeth, NJ, to the Miami River valley of
OH, around 1810 where George worked on the Miami Canal as a stonemason.
They seem to have made the trip West along with a number of other
interrelated families. See my posting to the Miami County GenWeb page at:
<
http://www.infinet.com/~dzimmerm/Miami/nj_mig.html>
for some comments on this migration.
George and Phoebe had 8 (?) children who all seem to have been born in NJ
and who all moved to OH with their parents:
John (1787-1835)
David (1790-1832)
Dana (1792-?)
Thomas (1795-?)
Isaac (1799-1850)
Benjamin Clark (1801-1877) <- my g-g-grandpa
Jacob (1802-?)
Sarah (1807-1863) m James Hudson
The children's birth dates given here are questionable. George, Phoebe and
some of the children may be buried in Raper Chapel cemetery, near Troy, OH.
Benjamin is buried in Forest Hill Cemetery at Piqua. The descendants
scattered to other parts of western OH in the late 1800's. This line has
always insisted on spelling its surname as CAREY, in spite of efforts of
everybody to add and subtract letters from it.
If this sounds like the heritage of anybody else out there, please contact
me directly or post to the list. I have a lot more information to share.
