   Note: Parliamentary career[edit] He served twice as Member of Parliament for Devon, on both occasions together with his brother Sir William Cary, in 1363/4 and 1368/9, and in November 1386 he was appointed Chief Baron of the Exchequer.[4] Attainder[edit] He was a strong adherent to King Richard II (1377–1399) and was attainted [5] in 1388 by the Merciless Parliament,[6] at which many members of Richard II's Court were convicted of treason. He was initially sentenced to death for his part in the "Nottingham judgements", but this was commuted to banishment to Ireland with a pension of £20.[7] His landholdings and goods were thereupon forfeited to the Crown.[8] Many of his forfeited lands in Somerset, including Hardington Mandeville, a moiety of Chilton Cantelo, and premises in Trent (now in Dorset) were sold by the crown in July 1389 for 600 marks,[9] jointly to Sir John Wadham of Edge, Branscombe in Devon and Merryfield, Ilton, Somerset, Justice of the Common Pleas (1389–1398) and MP for Exeter in 1399 and for Devon in 1401,[10] together with Sir William Hankford (c. 1350 – 1423) of Annery in the parish of Monkleigh in Devon, Chief Justice of the King's Bench. His son and heir Sir Robert Cary married as his second wife Jane Hankford, daughter of Sir William Hankford and, according to Sir John Vivian, the widow of Sir John Wadham,[11] although the will of John Wadham does not appear to support Vivian's contention. The attainder was reversed in 1398.[12] Landholdings[edit] Sir John Cary appears to have been seated at the chief ancestral seat of Cary, the location of which is uncertain, by some sources said to be Castle Cary[13] in Somerset, elsewhere said to be somewhere in Devon.[14] According to the Devon biographer John Prince (died 1723), relying on Risdon, the estate of Cary was in the parish of St Giles in the Heath, Devon, on the border with Cornwall.[15] The Devon historian Tristram Risdon (died 1640) stated the village of St Giles in the Heath to be "Hemmed in with the Tamer River on the one side and a pretty brook called Cary on the other; whereof (if I conceive not amiss) the sirname of the Carys took beginning, for in this parish that family possessed an ancient dwelling bearing their name".[16] He purchased the manor of Clovelly, on the north coast of Devon, where a junior branch of his descendants was seated until 1739 when it was sold to Zachary Hamlyn (1677–1759) .[17] His son and heir Robert Cary is generally stated to have been the first of the family seated at Cockington,[18] on the south coast of Devon in Torbay. He also held a moiety of the manor of Great Torrington,[19] Devon, possibly inherited from his heiress mother's family, de Bryan, which had inherited a one-fifth moiety of the feudal barony of Great Torrington from the Sully family.[20] Marriage and children[edit] Arms of Holleway (alias Holway) of Holway: Gules, a fesse between three crescents argent[21] In 1376 he married Margaret Holleway, daughter and heiress of Robert Holleway (alias Holway[22]) of Holleway in the parish of North Lew[23] in Devon. The arms of "Holway of Holway" are Gules, a fesse between three crescents argent[24] and appear quartered by Cary on the monument in Clovelly Church of Robert Cary (died 1587). Their children included three sons: Sir Robert Cary (died c. 1431) (eldest son and heir) of Cockington, Devon, twelve times MP for Devon.[25] Thomas Cary John Cary, believed (possibly erroneously) by the Cary family in 1620, when William Cary submitted his return for the Heraldic Visitation of Devon, to have been Bishop of Exeter in 1419.[26] The name of this bishop, who died in 1419, is usually given as John Catterick (alias Ketterick, Keterich, etc.), and he had previously served as Bishop of St David's and Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.
