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 he was ejected in 1664, and spent the remainder of his days at his rectory of Portemouth, 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.
