Note:
Sir John de Cary, of Upper Cary; Lord Chief Baron of Exchequer 1386; one of five judges summoned by Richard II to Shrewsbury 20 Aug 1387; impeached 1388 and banished to Waterford; married 1376 Margaret, daughter of Richard de Holeway, of Northlaw, Beaworth and Morton Devon, and died Waterford 1404. [Burke's Peerage] This Sir John was a very noted man. Prince says,
"On the 5th day of November, 1387, he was by the King, Richard II, made Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and advanced to be a Judge of the land; who being now placed in a high and spacious orb, he scattered the Rays of Justice about him with great splendor.
After the King was put to death by Henry IV, Sir John was banished and all his goods and lands confiscated to his royal master.
Prince says, "He was banished to Waterford, Ireland, where he was no less than four Years in Banishment. A long time, God knows, for an aged person of a nice and tender way of living to be confined to the Shades of Misery and Sorrow." He died at Waterford in 1404. Among his estates were Cockington and Clovelly.
