Cary [Ref, p. 63] says that John came to New England about 1634. However, he does not seem to appear in the records until 1637. [Ref, p. 19] He moved to Duxbury where he was allocated ten acres of land on 2 Oct 1637. [Ref, p. 19] On 16 Jan 1650 he sold two acres of land to Steven Briant. [Ref, p. 21]

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.

[Ref, p. 21] He was elected town clerk in 1657 and held this position until his death. [Ref, p. 21] On 3 Jun 1662, 5 Jun 1672 and 5 Jun 1678 John was on the "Grand Enquest".

[Ref, p. 23] He was appointed, along with Dea. Willis, to take charge of expenses for King Philip's War. [Ref, p. 22]
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]]

Anna Cary advertised in the 12 Jan 1810 Windham Herald that, as administrator of her late husband Rev. William Bradford's estate, she was holding a sale of as much of his real estate as would fetch $700.
According to the 1790, 1800 and 1810 censuses, in those years James lived in Windham. According to the 1820 census, in 1820 James and Anna lived in Windham, where James farmed.

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.
