BENJAMIN & SALLIE (STOTTS) CARY

Benjamin Cary and Sallie Stotts Cary married in Carroll County, Tennessee about 1829. In 1839 they came to Arkansas with children, John (1830), Martha Jane (1832), Nancy (1834) Samuel and James (twins 1836), and Andrew 1838. Benjamin died in 1843 and Sallie in 1841. Sallie Stotts Cary's brothers had settled in Arkansas a few years earlier.

Samuel, James, and Andrew are listed in the 1850 census living with their uncle, John Stotts; John and Nancy are listed with their uncle, James Stotts, and Martha Jane was listed with her husband, Abraham McDaniel, who she married in 1847.

I have no record of Nancy and Andrew after 1850 census. James died in 1871 with only one daughter, Sarah, of which I have no info. John Carey, Samuel Cary, and Martha Jane Cary McDaniel married and settled in Poinsett and Craighead County.

Samuel Cary settled at Old Bolivar, north of Harrisburg, and lived there until he died on December 31, 1900. He married twice, first to Delaina Smith in 1855, and then to Martha Bennett Edgar, a widow with one child, in 1880. His obituary in the Harrisburg paper stated he died after a lingering illness of several weeks. It was written that he was one of the county's oldest and most repected citizens.

Samuel and twin brother, James, enlisted in the 23rd Arkansas Infantry, Confederate Army in 1862 and were in battles in Arkansas and Mississippi. John Carey enlisted in the 5th Arkansas in 1862, died in service in April 1863. Except for descendants of Samuel Cary and Martha Bennett Cary, there is little data listed. Any info or corrections can be sent to this site.
