! from Massachusetts DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA Cary Family Will Remember One Of First Forty Settlers Saturday With the Cary- family holding their 80th reunion at Nay Aug Park, Scranton, August 11, it seems appropriate to mote some of the background of this distinguished old Wyoming Valley clan. Mrs. C. J. Eipper, Demunds Road, Dallas, is a direct descendant of Eleazer Cary who was one of the original forty white settlers of this valley in 1769. She provided the Post with a book on the Cary fam- ily. ! Eleazer made his way to Wyoming by way of Duchess County, N. Y. where he married a Miss , Sturdevant. He h#™self was born’ in 1718 at West Bridgwater, and could trace his lineage back three generations to John Cary, born in England who came to America in 1637 to become an origina] proprietor and first town clerk of West Bridgwater. Before John emigrated, the Cary family had been in England since Adam de Kari walked the floors of Castle Kari under the stares of ghosts of his Norman ancestors in 1170. Record has it that Eleazer dis- tinguished himself with Sullivan’s Army, and had done guard-duty at Fort Wilkes-Barre at the time of the Wyoming Massacre. Three sons fought in the Revolution, two— Nathan and Samuel (Mrs. Eipper’s great-great gr andfather)— standing with the garrison of boys and old men at Wyoming. ¢ Nathan's son wieazer; by the way, married Frances Slocum, name-sake grandniece of the lost daughter of | Wyoming. Samuel Cary was born in N.Y. 10 years before Eleazer moved to this valley. He was 19 when he was taken by the Indians during the Massacre. ‘When the thin lines of the settlers red, Samuel and -Zipperah Hib- bard (who had been married one day before the garrison formed the lines of battle) retreated with the con- fused ranks in an sverysmansdor himself pattern. The two made it Wirough a rye- figld to the river where-the pursuing i got Hibbard through the chest with a spear. Samuel swam across the river, but the Indians cap- tured him on the other side. He was taken to the Wintermutes Tory fort. The next morning, after spending the night bound, gagged, and hungry, he was rudely awakened by the In- dian Captain named Roland Montour, who had a proposition. Cary would not be killed if he would assent to being adopted by an Indian. couple whose son was killed in the battle. He appears to have gotten along ‘famously with them, sharing their happiness as well as their misery over loss of their son. Soon after his capture, the Indians and he made York toward Niagara. He was re- leased after announcement of Am- erican independence, and returned to the Wyoming Valley by the end of June, 1784. He was in captivity for about six years. His first wife, Rosanna, died in 1822, By her he had nine children. Laura, born in 1801, married a Mar- tin Downing, and their daughter Ros- anna married George Clark. The Downings were buried in the old ‘cemetery in Wilkes-Barre where City Hall now stands. Later they were moved to the City Cemetery on River Street. Emma Jane Clark, daughter of Rosanna and George Clark, who married Thomas Smith, and was the mother of Mrs. Eipper, is also buried there.
