JOHN CARY (d. 1681) of Duxbury and Bridgewater
Parents: Unknown. John Cary was an educated man, but he was not the son of John Cary and Elizabeth Hereford nor was he the son of the William Cary who was mayor of Bristol. See David Carey's remarks in the "Controversies" section of the Cary/Carey Family in America web page.
The public death records for West Bridgewater say, "John Sr., h. Elizabeth, Oct. 31, 1680" and "John Carey's death according to the record ... must be a mistake ... his death was probably in 1681."
John married Elizabeth Godfrey in June 1644. [Ref] Elizabeth, the wife of John, Sr., died on 1 Nov 1680 in Bridgewater. [Ref]
From Cary [Ref, pp. 19 -23] we have the following information: John came to New England about 1634. However, he does not seem to appear in the records until 1637. He moved to Duxbury where he was allocated ten acres of land on 2 Oct 1637. On 16 Jan 1650 he sold two acres of land to Steven Briant. John was an original proprietor of Bridgewater. The town records of West Bridgewater say, "He became in 1651 an Original Proprietor and Honored Settler on the River. The Clerk of the Plantation. When the Town of Bridgewater was incorporated in 1656 he was Elected Constable, the first and only Officer of That year. Town Clerk until his death. Tradition says he was the first Teacher of Latin in Plymouth Colony." On 3 Jun 1656 John was constable of Bridgewater. John took the oath of fidelity at Duxbury in 1657. He was elected town clerk in 1657 and held this position until his death. On 3 Jun 1662, 5 Jun 1672 and 5 Jun 1678 John was on the "Grand Enquest". John was selectman for Bridgewater from 1667 to 1679. On 16 Mar 1666/7 the town granted 10 acres to John on the condition that he book all of the 106 acres laid out and the three meadow lots to each. On 5 Jun 1667 John was part of a jury impaneled to lay out "waies requisett" to the town of Bridgewater. On 3 Jun 1668 land was laid out for John Cary and others. On 7 Jun 1668 the jury appointed to lay out the lands reported to the court and John and 11 others signed. John's name is on a 29 May 1670 list of freemen of New Plymouth. He was appointed, along with Dea. Willis, to take charge of expenses for King Philip's War.
The writer has access to a manuscript more than one hundred years old, and written by a grandson of John, which says that John Cary, when a youth, was sent by his father to France to perfect his education, and that while absent his father died. On returning to [his home in] Somersetshire he differed with his brothers about the settlement of his father's estate. He compromised by receiving one hundred pounds as his portion and immediately sailed for America. [Samuel F. Cary, Cary Memorials, cited by Seth Cary. [Ref]]
Children of John Cary and Elizabeth Godfrey:
The births of each of the children is recorded in Bridgewater as the child of John. John is called the first born; both John and Francis are said to be born in Duxbury; James is said to be born in Braintree. The year of Francis's birth is uncertain, but between 1645/6 and 1648/9. Given the birth dates of John and Elizabeth it is most likely 1647/8. [Ref]

Children of James Benajah Cary and Mary Bacon Adams:
Fri Oct 24 1862: The Youthful Hero.---Of the thousands who have gloriously fallen for their country, are many of whom it could not ask such sacrifices. One such was Dwight Carey, youngest son of James B. and Mary B. Carey, of Canterbury, Connecticut. In September, 1861, while yet but fifteen years of age he entered the service of the United States, as a private, in the Eighth Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers. This act originated in no rash, impulsive enthusiasm, impatient of restraint and headstrong for excitement and novelty, but was the result of calm discussion with his parents and friends, who unwillingly gave their assent on account of his extreme youth. He first engaged in battle at Roanoke Island and subsequently at Newbern and Fort Macon. In these engagements he exhibited the qualities of a brave soldier in a manner worthy a veteran of riper years, never for one moment regretting his choice in the past, or shrinking from the future. Under command of General Burnside he engaged in his fourth battle on the hard-fought field of Antietam. Here he fell. Noble youth! As a boy he was upright in principle, correct in habit; as a soldier he was bold and firm; as a comrade he was loved by all who knew him. Two brothers, Captain Asa B. Carey of the regular army, now commanding at Fort Union, New Mexico, and George L. Carey, of Co. A., First Battalion, Connecticut Cavalry, still remain in the army to battle for the cause, in defence of which the youngest died.
