Carey/Cary Reunion: October 29-30, 2005 Holiday Inn, Ocean City, MD, & Carey's Church, Millsboro, DE

Dear Family and Friends,

I hope you are having a good summer, with at least some time to relax, perhapswith family members and friends, or maybe reading a good book...

However, my primary purpose in writing this letter is to encourage you to makeplans now to attend the Carey/Cary reunion in October. As indicated in anothersection of the newsletter, our speaker this year will be Vaughn Baker, Chairmanof the Board of Directors of the Nabb Research Center on Delmarva Historyand Culture. Vaughn’s family was originally from the Whaleyville area, and hewill share very interesting information and ideas gained from his research on hisfamily and on the history of the Eastern Shore.

As you make plans to attend the reunion, please make a special effort to bringinformation, pictures and stories of your Carey/Cary family members. And letme know what you plan to share so we can provide space for display, or time onthe agenda.

It is, for me, quite amazing to realize that this will be our 12th reunion! Equallyamazing are the things we have been able to accomplish as a family group. TheCarey/Cary Family newsletter--so ably edited by Helen Carey—has been aprimary means of communication for our family group. Thanks to Helen’s skillas an editor and researcher, and the contributions of Contributing Editor DavidCarey and many members and readers, the newsletter has served us well. Thenewsletter, and the Carey/Cary Family website designed by family member SeanGilson, have enabled us to build a family network that extends across our countryand into Canada and England. Closer to home, we value our relationship withCarey’s United Methodist Church and Camp whose leaders and members are animportant part of our reunion.

Rick Carey, our Vice President, Barbara Phillips our Secretary, Helen Carey,our Treasurer and I look forward to seeing you at the reunion. Meanwhile let meknow if you have suggestions for our program or ideas for making our reunion asuccess.

Niel Carey, President

DE Governor, and 2-term U. S. Senator. Townsend met the governor of Wyoming, Joseph Maull Carey, who was born in Delaware. They became very good friends. Joseph Maull Carey's father, Robert Hood Carey, was a prominent Milton, DE, farmer, businessman and merchant. [Note: Research has revealed that a son of John Townsend married a granddaughter of Elisha Carey of Sussex County. The Editor] Mr. Carter's presentation about the family of Joseph Maull Carey, as well as the information shared about John G. Townsend, Jr., was most interesting. Helen Carey told about Civil War soldiers (Carey) who were from the Gumboro, DE, area She also introduced Sean Gilson from Farmingdale, NY., who created a web site for the Carey/Cary Family organization., www.careycary.org. Sean's work and his Carey research is very appreciated by organization members. Jim Trader, Salisbury, MD, spoke about the Coalition to Protect MD Burial Sites. Also, news of Carol Joyce's improvement after a lung transplant was happily received. Officers were elected as shown on page two of the newsletter.

In the evening many of the group had dinner together at a local restaurant. On Sunday we attended a church service at Carey's Church, followed by a delicious luncheon served by church members.

"We do hope that you plan to attend our next Family Reunion. You really missed a great one!"

Respectfully submitted,

...I am a going to compose a letter to Cousin Edith to day. August 31st (1860) Farewell warm sultry August. You are gone. We will see your face no more till you awake in another year. September 31st

(I think she meant Sept. 1st CWKG)

Welcome back September. You bring back joyful thoughts & words. Grandma & Grandpa have come to see us. I am very glad to see them. Grandma told me that Anna had a party. They have got a Pronno* too. Never mind I am a going to have a carriage & perhaps a Pronno too.

(I do not know what a pronno is… CWKG) Sept 11. Nice has bit Abba, naughty dog. Annas* birthday came on last Monday hers & mine came on the same day. (I do not know who Anna is. .possibly a Wilcox or a friend of Nina’s…. CWKG) Sept 21st

Well I am at Grandpas. & am studying Botany & I think that it is pretty hard as far as I have went, for the questions are below the answers & so I did not understand it for a while.

Editor's Note:

Cinderella Cleora Kinney ("Nina"), July 30, 1849-July 18, 1933, was the daughter of Joseph and Eliza Ann Carey Kinney. According to the transcriber, Carol Worth Kinney Grimes, Nina was age ten when she began writing her journal. (The transcription is "as written". ) Part I is found in Volume 9, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2004. The same issue includes an article about the Carey, Ohio, library named after her grandmother, Dorcas Carey. Also, see Carey/Cary Family News, Volume 3, Issue 1 (1998), which includes three family-related articles; two about her grandfather, Judge John Carey of Carey, OH. The other was the unpublished manuscript of Nina's sister, Muriel Kinney. In addition Volume 3, Issue 2 (1998) contains Part 2 of Muriel's manuscript.

Grandma has gone to Uncle Macks& we are left alone. I found out

something curious in my Botany yesterday, It was this; take a bean & soak it, then peal off the skin & the bean will seperate in two parts; these are the Seed leaves or Cotyledons. These Cotyledons are the first leaves that are seen above ground after the bean is planted. And these Cotyledons nourishes the plant till the root is large enough to get food from the soil; then they die. Oct 5th I went down street yesterday to hear Grandpa make a speech but was sick & had to stay at Aunt Dorcases. In the Evening I saw the “Wide Awakes” parade & heard the music. It sounded so pretty. They had two Transparencies with the pictures of Lincoln Hamlin & Douglas on them. Douglas’s picture looked better than he does for I have seen him. The words under his picture was "Union Splitter" Lincoln “Rail Splitter” Hamlins “With him we win”. Oct. 12 I went to the Upper Sandusky Fair yesterday but I didn’t see much I saw Three Sewing Machines.

History of Delaware’s Carey’s Station (Cont’d from page 1)

Stations, as well as the family of Elisha Carey, who appeared to be residents of the area. Also, a family connection between the Careys and the Reddens has been documented. According to Orphan’s Court, Sussex Co., DE, Court Records, Vol X25. 1853-1955, p. 512 (Petitioners: James Redden and John Davis, signed March 14, 1855, Georgetown, C. S. (sic) Layton, Atty for Petitioners.), James Redden was the stepson of Hester Deputy, who first married Stephen Redden about 1797 and, as a widow, married Elisha Carey about 1801. [Editor's Note: According to The Redden Family of Delmarva, Hester was born in 1773 in Cedar Creek Hundred to Nunez Deputy and Mary Macklin and died after 1833. Hester was not shown in the 1850 Census with husband Elisha Carey.] Also, the same reference indicates that Hester Deputy's sister, Mary Deputy, married the same James Redden, son of Hester's first husband (Hester's stepson). According to the 1830 and 1850 Censuses, the families of Elisha Carey and James Redden were neighbors. In 1860, after both Elisha and wife Hester were deceased, James Redden's family and that of Elisha and Hester Carey's son (i.e., Mariah Carey, widow of William H. Carey) were also neighbors. Also, James A. Evans, Jincy Carey's son by her first husband John R. Evans, lived in the vicinity with his family. [Editor's Note: Jincy was a daughter of Elisha and Hester Carey.]

In addition, on page 81, Atlas of

of)

the State of DE from Actual Surveys of D. G. Beers, 1868, James Redden is shown in the Georgetown Hundred, north of the intersection of Road 444 and the State Road from Georgetown to Milton. [As of 2005, that intersection can be identified as that Rd. 565 and 213 (Old State Road .] Beers' Surveys shows James Redden as being on the east side of the road near the still existing McColley's Chapel, about one mile north of the described intersection. According to Sharf 's History of DE (p.1239, published in 1888), "...Carey's Cross-roads is so called for the Carey family residing at that point, half a mile from Redden Station. A store was there opened in 1867 by James A. Evans, which was continued five years." [Editor's Note: The 1868 Beers' Surveys shows Jas. A. Evans and a store south of the previously described intersection.] Sharf wrote that Evans "...had previously merchandised at Carey's Cross-roads, where he also kept the post-office, which was removed to the station with the store..." When the Junction and Breakwater Railroad established Carey's Station about 1870, it was about 1/2 mile to the east of Carey's Crossroads (see Sharf, p. 1239). The name was soon changed to Redden "...to harmonize with the name of the post office, already existing in the neighborhood..." The first agent was James A. Evans, who continued until 1886, according to Sharf. In 1888 Sharf describes Redden as

"...containing a steam lumber-mill,two stores, and a dozenresidences…" and as the "...mostimportant..." of the small stationsof the Junction and BreakwaterRailroad. As of 2005 the described area isshown on the State of Delawaremap as Redden's Crossroads, butthe time at which the name waschanged from Carey's to Redden'sCrossroads has yet to bedetermined. Further research willhopefully provide thatdocumentation as well as otherrelated information about thedevelopment of the area aroundCarey's Station.

there. When Mary inherited the estate, Capt. Carey made some improvements and it became known as the Carey farm.

Capt. Samuel II and Mary Graves Cary's children included:

a) Samuel Cary III was born in 1742 and died in 1812. When he graduated from Harvard, he was given 1000 pounds by his father to seek his fortune. He went to the West Indies and purchased a sugar cane plantation in Grenada. When his father died, Samuel III obtained full possession of the Bellingham-Cary Mansion and estate in Chelsea, MA.

In 1772, he married Sarah Gray (d. 1825) and moved into the mansion. In 1773, trouble arose in Granada threatening the plantation. Samuel and Sarah moved there, leaving their newly born first child with its grandmother in Chelsea, MA. Samuel and Sarah remained in Grenada for eighteen years during which they had eight more children. They returned to Chelsea with their children in 1791 and began renovating the mansion. Servants’ quarters, a great barn, and a carriage house were added. White pine paneling was imported from England and remains in its rooms today. Built in 1659, the Bellingham-Cary House at 34 Parker Street in Chelsea is now operated as a living monument.

didn’t recognize her during the trial, so Nathaniel arranged for one of them to see Elizabeth at a private home. All five of the girls came and put on their act, pretending to have fits, frothing at the mouth, and speaking gibberish. Elizabeth was accused of witchcraft, put in irons, and jailed. According to family legend, she escaped with the help of her daughter. She boarded a ship for Liverpool where Nathaniel’s ship was also bound. Her ship arrived in Liverpool first and she met Nathaniel when he arrived. When he saw her he exclaimed, “You must be a witch!” She replied, “Don’t be a fool like the rest of your countrymen, Nat!” The couple later reconciled and returned to Massachusetts. Their children included: a. Elizabeth, baptized 11 July 1680. b. Martha baptized 11 July 1680, c. Nathaniel born 12 September 1680. d. John born 18 January 1683. e. Mary born 14 January 1690. 4.
