| James. the first Cary mentioned in the

wick to Gloucester in the latter nuar-

Cary settled in Warwick in 1920, and
had Thomas az. whose second son
was James 81. James CD in the
Miles Cary pedigree Is not account

about 1910. and his son Thomas WAS

tradition has always maintained that
they were descended from Miles of
| WarwiciS. II the Gloucester CaryS will
send us their pedigree an far as they
! Lave il, 1t would be very great favor.
/ In the memory Of man there were
| four residences in Gloucester presided
| over by Carys. DR.. Samuel Beverley
| Cary lived at Hickory Fork. The
house is still standing, and was the
| seat OF u rare and genuine hospitality.
| His personality possessed charm
! which can never be forgotten. lie
| was the father OF John +. Cary, of
lRichmond: Mrs. r. & Rcckwith and
Mathew Cary. or Petersburg, and Mrs.
John Field. Of Philadelphia John
Cary, his brother, lived at kcnwood,
, than which there was no more charm

/ Miss Betty Kemp. and was clildless

as his own.
| After his death his wife lived on

vas Synonymous with all that was
Liza y,1 lie nd
! small, compelling woman OF whom the
(. young stood somewhat In awe. Her

casion a party OF young people were
| Invited to Kenwood to breakfast 10
| wafles and sally lunns." The break
fast hour was postponed to suit the
arrival OF the guests. and ono OF tho

| That even she should have made such
an awful linguistic MISTAKE Poe p,t-

! Is there tendency to say brcaktasses
! instead OF breakfasts? The latter Is
much easier to cnunciate, yet tho VIZ
