Jerry and All,
Jerry's notes don't include Eliza, daughter of Creed Cary, who married Levi
FAWKS in Carroll Co., MO, 28 Feb 1849 (according to Mrs. Toal, p. 55).
I have Creed, Cynthia, William and Nancy (m. DRAKE) Cary from Jerry's list
of marriages as the children of Nathaniel Cary, son of Robert Philipson
Cary. I have John A., Mary "Polly" (m. COOLEY), Daniel H., Thomas S. (not
L., S. is for Sherman), Henry and Nathaniel as the children of Hardin Cary,
son of Robert Philipson Cary.
The minor heirs of "Marvin" Cary whom Daniel Cary is appointed guardian of
look suspiciously like the youngest four children of Hardin Cary, who died 5
Dec 1852 in Carroll Co.
Question: Who are Polly Cary who married John STILL, Nancy Cary who married
William WINFREY, and Mary Jane Cary who married James ANDERSON?
I am thinking that Nancy may be the daughter of Creed Cary. Mrs. Toal has
his daughter as Nancy Winfrey Cary, b. 28 Feb 1836, which would make her a
proper age to get married in 1853; Mrs. Toal or her informant could have
mistakenly put in her married name for a middle name. Creed's daughter
Jeanetta married an ANDERSON, so I am wondering if she is Mary Jane??? And
did Polly Cary who married COOLEY in 1848 marry STILL only one year later,
or was that someone else who married STILL?
