Cary Family
My maternal grandmother was a Crossman and a Cary. The Cary surname had been extensively documented back to 1170 to Adam DeKary. It has always been reported that he was the Master of Castle Kari in Somerset, England; some documentation puts him rather at Devon, England instead.
NOTE: Birth dates before the arrival of John in the United States may be approximate.
