« His (John Cary's) youngest son was that GEORGE CARY (1578?-1643) who was intended by the Lord Deputy to take the place of his own lost son of the same name but by his "unrulye caryage" forfeited his opportunity to be the sole heir. Nevertheless, under the final settlement, he inherited Cockington on his father's death and there he lived for many years, and there he was buried in 1643, passing on the estate intact, contrary to the expectations of his uncle. He had married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward Seymour, Bart, of Berry Pomeroy, near Totnes, and a great-granddaughter of the Protector Somerset.(fn)

...
(p.84) ... Sir George Cary was enabled to make large additions to the fair estate derived from his father and his first wife, and, at the time of his death, his rent-roll must have been one of the amplest in Devonshire. ...
A large portion of these possessions, including the manor and mansion of Cockington, fell to the share of his namesake and adopted heir George, the youngest but one of the sons of his brother John Cary of Dudley, co. Stafford.
This George Cary married Elizabeth, a daughter of the now ducal House of Seymour. The contents of a deed printed in the Appendix show that, in early life at least, George Cary displayed tendencies to extravagance, which excited his uncle's misgivings. He nevertheless handed down the Cockington estate, at his death in 1643, to his eldest son and heir, the gallant but unfortunate Sir Henry Cary.
