I have been searching for information on Henry CARY for many years. His
civil war pension files and census files show his birth date to be 1834
in Hanover, Germany. Since Hanover was a "city state" then, that is
like knowing that he is from New Jersey! He emigrated to Shawnee
Township, Allen County and first shows up on the 1850 census. On the
1900 Census, he shows as John Henry CARY. He was married to Rebecca
WHYMAN of Van Wert County, Ohio. His son Nelson Lorenzo Dow CARY moved
to Manhattan, Riley, Kansas. My grandmother, Florence Adelia Cary
NELSON was Nelson's daughter.
Any researchers on this line out there? I would love to correspond with
you!
