1.) He was banished to Waterford, Ireland, where he was no less than 4 years in banishment. A long time living, to be confined to the shades of misery and sorrow.

2.) Among his estates were Cockington and Clovelly.

3.) He lived during the reigns of Edward III and Richard II

4.) From The Cary Family in Eng. by Cary,

"Prince says: 'On the fifth of November, 1387, he was by the King Richard II, made Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and advanced to be a Judge of the land; who being now placed in a high and spacious Orb, he scattered the Rays of Justice about him with great splendor. In his post he continued many years, manifesting in all his actions, an inflexible Virtue and Honesty; and indeed it fell out at last that he had an extraordinary occasion laid before him, for the proof and tryal thereof, upon which we find him as true as steel, for the greatest dangers could not affright him from his duty and Loyalty to his distressed Master, King Richard II, unto whom he faithfully adhered when most others had forsaken him.' After the king was put to death by Henry IV, Sir John was banished and all his goods and lands confiscated for his loyalty to his royal master.

Westcote says: 'I will speak of Sir John Cary, Baron of the Exchequer in the time of Richard II. This knight neither able nor willing, like a willow, to bow with every blast of the wind, so confidently and freely spoke his mind, opposing the proceedings for procurators to take the resignation of his master, King Richard, his true and undoubted Sovereign, that there-upon he was dis-officed, his goods and lands confiscated, and himself banished."

"Prompt me, Muses, if you can, 

And show me such another man."

Holway, where he was born, is located in northwest Devon.

Sir John was made Chief Baron of the Exchequer and a judge of the land. Westcote wrote of him, "Prompt me Muses, if you can, and show me such another man."

He was loyal to King Richard II, who was put to death by Henry IV. Sir John's goods and lands were confiscated and he was banished to Ireland for four years where he died in 1404. His estates were Cockington and Clovelly. John was a famous judge. He died in banishment in Ireland. He was the original purchaser of the Clovelly estate.

Clovelly is in the north of Devonshire on the Bristol Channel. The mansion house was called "Clovelly Court." Nearby is the 600 year old All Saints Church where some of the Carys used to preach and many are buried. In Westcote's work, speaking of Clovelly, he writes, "And now I am in a place of the honorable race of Carys to which tribe wisdom is said to be hereditary."

Sir John Cary was born around 1350 in Devon shire England. He Married Margaret Holway. John died around 1404 in exile in Waterford Ireland. He was sent there when he remained faithful to the King during a rebellion.

This was writen about him. I can not give you the source of this quote, "Sir John Cary was made a baron of the exchequer by King Richard II. In this post he continued many years, manifesting in all his actions an inflexible virtue and honesty. And indeed, it fell out at last that he had an extraordinary occasion laid before him, for the proof and tryal thereof: upon which he proved as true as steel, for the greatest dangers could not affright him from his duty and loyalty to his distressed master King Richard II, unto whom he faithfully adhered when most others had forsaken him; to his present loss indeed, but to his future eternal renown. For in the catastrophe of that king's reign, he reverend judge, unable and unwilling to bow, did freely and confidently speak his mind. He opposed the proceedings for procurators, in regard to his oath, to take King Richard's resignation, his true and undoubted sovereign. This cause him pursued with so much zeal and earnestness, that at the entrance of Henry IV into the English crown, he was by that prince banished his country and his goods and lands were confiscated."
