1218. John Cary & 1219. Elizabeth Hereford [England]


4/10/1583, John baptized at St. Nicholas Parish, Bristol, England, s/o 2436. William Cary & 2437. Elizabeth Goodale.
John was educated in France.

John and Elizabeth lived on Temple Street in Bristol. (S) UK National Archives.
John was a draper of Bristol. (S) Father-in-law Henry Hobson’s 1637 funeral certificate; and in his graddaughter Alice Cary’s will of 1660.
Elizabeth died [likely in childbirth of Elizabeth.]
Aft. 1617, John married 2nd Alice Hobson, d/o Henry Hobson, Innkeeper of Bristol. [Since John was at least 34 years old, this is circumstantial evidence for this being the same John as the one that married Elizabeth. The other primary evidence is a lack of another “John Cary” that could possibly have married Alice.]
1625, John and his family lived in Bristol and were named in the will of Henry Hobson.
[With others of his family and time, John’s family suffered in the Civil wars; Bristol alternately in the possession of Round Heads and Cavaliers.]
