General Notes:
SIR WILLIAM CARY was birb 12 Aygyst 1436 at Cockington, Devonshire, England, to Sir Phillip Cary Knight (1400-1437) and Christianna Orchard (1404-1472.) He married Ann Elizabeth Paulet about 1457 of Bristol, Gloucestershire, England.
William Cary died 6 May 1471, at Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, age 34. He was beheaded for supporting Lancaster in the War of the Roses.
Battle of Tewkesbury
Known as the Knight of Cockington
He was an ardent supporter of the House of Lancaster, and took an active part in the struggle between Henry VI and Edward IV, in the War of the Roses.
At the Battle of Tewksbury on May 4, 1471, the Lancastrians were defeated, and William with others took refuge in the Abbey Church. According to the customs of the times the church was a 'Sanctuary', so that they could not be taken out of it. They were enticed out on the promise of pardon and two days later were beheaded. His property was confiscated as usual in such cases, but Henry VII restored it to his son Robert. We cannot ascertain for what reason, but probably because King Henry was a scion of the House of Lancaster in whose cause, his father lost his life and property.
William left two sons Robert and Thomas. From Robert sprang the families of Clovelly, Torre Abbey, and Somersetshire. And from Thomas the three lines of nobles, Baron Hunsdon, Earl of Monmouth, and Viscount Falkland Line.
He lived during the reign of Henry VI and Edward IV.

William Cary was born in Cockington on August 12, 1439. He died May 6, 1471 in Tewksbury after a battle. He was cornered and sought sanctuary in a church. He was promised a pardon if he came out. He did and was beheaded. So much for the word and honor of his opponent.
He married Elizabeth Paulett around1459. She was born 1445 in Hinton St. George Parish, England. Her parents were William Paulett (born 1405 and died 10/2/1488) and Elizabeth Denebaud was born 1414 and died 11/17/1497.
I have a report that he married Alice Fulford in 1464. If this is true, Elizabeth was still alive. I am still trying to confirm or refute this.
One of their sons, Thomas, married Mary Boleyne. She was a sister to Anne Boleyne that King Henry beheaded rather than get a divorce.

•William Cary
Where: All Saints Church, Clovelly, Devon, England
Elizabeth Ann, born Hinton St George, Somerset, England, married William Cary, and they had at least one son: Sir Robert Cary.[1]
It is likely that Elizabeth died at Hinton St George, Somerset in about 1457 either at the time of the birth of her son Robert or soon after. In his will, Robert names Hinton St George as his birth place and we know that by 1458 William Cary had married his second wife. [4] This being the case I have removed Clovelly, Devon as Elizabeth's place of death and made it unknown.
