Notes provided by descendant, Jerry Cary. More About SAMUEL HARRISON CARY: Burial: Cary Cemetery, Natchez Trace Park, Henderson County, Tennessee - Natchez Trace State Park, Henderson County, Tennessee. Notes for relationship between Samuel Harrison Cary and unknown woman: This relationship is pieced together and projected, on the handed down oral traditions of members of Abner Henry Harrison, Samuel LaFayette Cary, and Maraih Cary Dodd's families. The oral tradition is that William Ervin (Bill) Cary, Sr. was a son who Samuel Harrison Cary fathered with an unmarried teenaged girl in the area around Shiloh, in Carroll County, TN in the mid 1840s. Her identity is not known. The tradition further states that Mary Minerva "Polly" Akin Cary, Samuel's wife, and mother of several of his children already, became aware of the illegitimate child of her husband, and took the child into their own home and raised him as one of their own children. Samuel and Minerva had several more children after this incident was alleged to have occurred. While there are no currently known facts to substantiate this theory, the story was related separately, but substantially the same, by Aline Cole, daughter of Arco Cary in Abner Henry Harrison Gary's line; Ondeen Dodd Myracle, daughter of Joe Dodd in Mariah Cary Dodd's line, from a written journal her mother, Vadie Noles Dodd kept; and by Bertie Killibrew, daughter of Samuel LaFayette Cary and granddaughter of Samuel Harrison Cary in 2000. Bertie Killibrew is still living at her home in Parsons, TN b July 2001. There are thirteen recorded children of Samuel Harrison Cary and Mary Minerva Akin, however, the obituary for William Alfred (Alf) Cary in the Lexington Progress, May 26, 1944, states, "He was the son of Samuel and Minerva Cary and the last of a family of fourteen children.". 3.
