Can't say for sure, but Thomas Cary was likely of the Virginia Cary family. There were two early early Cary families. One in Mass who moved to NY, then PA then VA then KY and the other that stayed in Va. until early 1700's then migrated to NC and eventually some crop up Alabama. They are allied to BALLS (allied to Washington) and (I'm trying to remember, Greens perhaps?) In AL early 1800's a Cary married a FRIEND migrated from the Swedish Friends up near the Welsh Tract. Friends also married Enochs (married to Browns) who married Nevilles etc in VA/PA borde area. At any rate, another VA connection if Thomas Cary pans out. VA Cary's are very well researched and easy to look up. I really need to get my notes put into a genealogy program!
