Her father was Wilson Cary, Esq, of " &C.
!eys" in the county of Elizabeth City, descend
ing from the noble family of Hudson, in Eng
land His relative, Col. Archibald Cary, of APP
thill in Chesterfield, was at his death the heir
apparent 10 the Earldom. The worthy old gen.
tieman seems, from all we know of him, to have
been as proud as the Coneys, or the Somersets,
aud 20 have thought bis family the reblest in
the iand. He lived in great state, with chariot
ard horses, plate and velvet, and embrodery-a
worthy of the old school, fully satisfied with the
o-der of things, and enjoying serenely the good
gifts of Providence. His beautiful daughter
vas great heircss, and had many suitors. The
accident which bcfell one Of them, has made her
remembered in many books. He was young
man Of very high character, relative Of VII
liam Fairfax Esq, who lived at Belyoir, on the
Potomac; and here he met with Miss Cary, who
came on a visit to Mrs. Fairfax her eldest sister,
The young man at cnce proceeded to fall in love
which he did with an ardor characteristic Of his
nature. When Miss Cary came home to Celeys,
or James river, he followed her like a coura-
geous gallant, and laid open seige to the fair
fortress. In the good old times however, some
thing more was necessary than the consent of
he young lady; and so the youth duly asked
private interview with the lawful cid lord Of the
irauor, who listened to him silently throughout.
EAe1 The lover had finished, Mr.. Cary arose,
made i low bow, and said that if this were young
Mr. Washington's erraud to Ccieys, his visit
had be.ter terminate-his daughter had been
customcd to ride in her own chariot. And with
thus ;llnsca to the poor condition Of the younger
soa. the interview terminated. Young Wash
iugtor bowed and went away, and in due time
married Martha Dlndrilee Gusts, who resem-
Jled Nisa co.y, says my informant, as much as
WIN s;stor ever cid another.
