CARY (Robert), a learned English chronologer, born in Devonshire about the year 1615. On the restoration, he was preferred to the archdeaconry of Exeter; but on some pretext was ejected in 1664, and spent the rest of his days at his rectory of Portsmouth, where he died in 1688. He published Palæologia Chronica, a chronology of ancient times, in three parts, didactical, apodeictical, and canonical; and translated the hymns of the church into Latin verse.
