The Cary family, in England, is one of the oldest and most noted. The
earliest me mber of this family of whom we have record was Adam De Karri,
Lord of Castle Cary, in the county of Somerset. This castle was a
"Stately Edifice". A villa ge exists there today called Castle Cary. As
early as the reign of Edward I, the name was spelled CARY.
In the Domesday book, late 11th century, Castle Car y is held by Walter de
Douai, a Norman noble holding 37 manors.

- an old yellow- stone town, the home of good cheddar cheese. Note the
little "pepper-box" loc k-up and the remains of the Norman castle.

Carey, are surnames of locality origin , meaning "of Carey." They are
great west-country surnames. Lower, in his "Pa tronymica Britannica,"
quoting Sir Bernard Burke's "Landed Gentry of Great Br itain and Ireland,"

Cary or Kari, as it is called in Doomsday Book, lying in the p arish of
St. Giles-on-the-Heath, near Launceston." This parish is in County D evon.
