About George Cary
- George Cary lived at Cockington, Devon, England. He was the 5th son of John Cary, but became the heir of his uncle the childless Sir George Cary.
- He married on the 18th Dec 1609 to Elizabeth Seymour at Berry Pomeroy, Devon.
- George Cary was buried at Cockington, Devon on the 23rd July 1643 and was succeeded by his eldest son Henry Cary.
- From the year of Sir Walter Raleigh's last fateful expedi- tion in 161 7 until nearly a year after the outbreak of the Civil War and the raising of the royal standard at Notting- ham, i.e. until 23rd July, 1643, George Cary with his numerous family seems to have lived quietly at Cockington. In that fateful year he died and the responsibilities fell heavily on his son Henry. The sympathies of the Carys of Cockington were wholly on the side of the King, and from the Royalist Composition Papers we learn that a servant in the employ of Sir Henry Cary deposed that, on the 15th June, 1646, the knight's mother [Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Edward Seymour] and the following brothers and sisters of Sir Henry Cary were all living with him at Cockington Court, namely : — Robert, Edward, John, Theodore, George, Walter, James, Cary of Cockington. Francis, Elizabeth and Bridget. Sir Henry Cary himself had been married some five years [circa 1641] , and already had three sons and one daughter, Richard, the third son, having been baptized at Cockington on the 27 April in the same year, 1646, so that there were at least seventeen members of the family gathered under the roof of Cockington Court in the year King Charles surrendered to the Scots
