This book traces the history of the Cary family, a prominent lineage in Devon, England, whose story unfolds against the backdrop of a dynamic and fascinating region. The author delves into the Cary family's roots, beginning with their presence in the manor of Kari, as recorded in the Domesday Book, the comprehensive survey of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086.
