Mrs. i. G.. G.. Marion, alabama -
Dear Madam,-Haviug lately resolved to
look something into the "Cary Estate. in
England, wrote to my correspondent there
inquirng into its present condition AT the
same time | wrote to my cousin, Mrs. +. Ia.
requesting sho would give me the address OF as
many of the heirs as she could. Among others
she gave mo your address. and to her l am ia
dcbed for knowledge that you are ofthe Gary
stock. Having resided west of tho Mississippi
since my twentieth year, know little else .,
the family than knew in my boyhood. !
have seen but one gentlemen Of the name !:
Cary, who is Of the Huusdon stock. kn( y
one ancestor (unless you trace directly from u
Cary) had daughter who married my ancestor.
Thomas Smith, one who married judge Mar
shall, one Harrison and ono Amber. The
family register in my possession traces the Smith
family to John Smith of Shooters Hill, who
married Mary Jaquelin, daughter OF Edward
Jaqueu, and granddaughter of Cary-Lord
Huusdon. Thence We trace our hclrshlp. l
desire to learn if you trace yours from the same
source, or from Cary2 Edward Jaquolln
must have been person OF note, to have rh-
commended him to 80 exalted family as the
Carys. 10 day [ have written to Jaquclla
Smith, proposing a convention OF the family at
Nashville, Tenn, October lst., 1878. to prJ'
duce genoologes, relics, &C., and to deVle
means to provo our heirship, in order to col
lect the money now due from the British Gov
ernment. [ understand that scvora! lndiV!I'
uals have put themselves to some pains to Id
auire into tho state Of the fund, but am
satisfied that nothing but concentrated action
will avail; and it is high time stops wore taken
to recover the fund, which would be a hani'
some legacy to all the claimants, though their
name be legion. From my estimate at three
per cent. per annum, the principal and inter,
est amounts to over one thousand hVo hundred
millions of dollars. The English High Court
! of Ohanoery has dtcrced that this fund right
| fully belongs to the Virginia relations, and it
| is q burning shame they do not make az effort
| to get possession Of the fund. No application
| has been mado yet to the British Government.
and till then it is private affair between the
| British Government and the clalmants.---
| If tho fact is of 80 great notoroty IN
| Eoylana as to have passed court OF chan
oery. it has, of course, found place 10
! the English chancory reports, and search
in the law books would disclose the fact
have written to my correspondent call
| ing his attention to it, and will write TO
Hon. j. Z. Benjamin. You shall learn the
result of my inquiries. l find the English
very courteous in responding 10 letlers reepect-
| fully addressed to them. have several IN my
house from eminent persons, among them one
from an English lord-the Earl Of Lichaelds--
and one dated at Buckingham Palsce!by order
of her Majesty. Queen Victoria (Which OF al
L should least have expected, returning thanss
| for an elegant bound pamphlet sent her as the
head OF the Anglican church.
Please give mo the address OF any prominent
members Of the family you may knoW, partlc'
ulary among the Carys. Seldens, Harrlsona'
Explosions and Csrringtons, &c. II you nave
any peneslogies in your possession, would be
obIieed for q copy, and an inventory Of any
family reics-Bibles, prayer-books, &c, There
ig still preserved in our family the trunk OF our
great, grest grandmother, Mary Ja4ueln, with
brocades, procslains &c. Edward Bruce, Il
mothers uncle, has the family portraits, lnclud-
ling that of Mary Jsquen. The tombstone OF
her grandfather, Lord HunsdoD, had been ro'
moved from old jamestown in 1917, ana u 9
parish registers were gone, ior %hcn @ I s9e may
thank our British brothers and Tom Jefferson /;
but doubtless in a family of so much pride and
intelligence, the geneslogies can be made out
from fragments in different branches (the Cont
of Arms will certainly be very good Wltnessl
and the only way to accomplish this ls to mold
