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 Portlemoth, where he died in 1688. He published Paleologia Chronica, a chronology of ancient times, in three parts, didactical, apodeictical, and canonical; and translated the hymns of the church into Latin verse.
