Deletion of John Cary (valet)

Comment: per Boleyn, above. The three inline cites appended to the entry confirm subject's standing as a historical figure, while his entry in ''Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography'', a rare distinction for an African-American in the historical era of the ''Cyclopædia's'' publication in 1880s United States, verifies his notability.
