He was employed 1666, before he was of age (as appears by his father's will) in the construction of the fort at Old Point Comfort. S. [miscellaneous] notes by Conway Robinson from General Court Order Book, 1666, in W, M, Cary Notes. See also Fa, Mag, xvii, 246.) Captain, Major and J. P. for Warwick. He ranked 3rd in the Warwick Militia at Berkeley's array for defense against the Indians in 1676, prior to Bacon's rebellion. (Hening, ii, 330) He inherited Windmill Point & Magpie Swamp under his father's will, and perhaps carried on the Immigrant's mercantile business in Warwick, in the tradition of which we find his son and grandson engaged. By reason of the facts that no Virginia evidence has appeared for any activity, after 1676, by the immigrant's eldest son, and that his sons affiliated with the Quakers, it was at one time conjectured by the genealogists that Major Thomas Cary of Warwick might be identified with Colonel Thomas Cary, the North Carolina "rebel" of 1711. (Spotswood Papers^ 81.) Apart from the stubborn fact of the Warwick will of 1708, the IV. M, Gary Notes prove beyond peradventure that Colonel Thomas Cary of North Carolina was a son of Walter Cary of Cheping Wycomb, Co. Bucks, and a stepson of John Archdale, the Quaker proprietary of North Carolina. [S100] Internet Source, http://archive.org/stream/virginiacarysan01harrgoog/virginiacarysan01harrgoog_djvu.txt. Major Thomas Cary (Miles^)^ 1647?- 1708, of Windmill Point. He m., not later than 1669, Anne, dau. of Captain Francis Milner, of Nansemond, [The evidence for the marriage is the statement of it in the Hei:alds' College pedigree of 1699, in which Thomas, alone of the Immigrant's sons, is named. By reason of the destruction of the Nansemond records, not much is known of the Milner family. It is possible that they were from Bristol; it may be noted that here had already been a Cary-Milncr marriage in Bristol; that the pedigree of 1699 goes out of its way to record Milner as a name apparently known in Bristol, while the earliest settlement of Southside Virginia, including Isle of Wight and Nansemond, where the Milners were established, was largely recruited from Bristol. The Milners used, however (e.g. on Mary Milner's tomb at Richneck), the arms which are attributed by Burke to Milner, Co. Lincoln. Francis Milner was Sheriff of Nansemond in 1699 (Va, Mag,, iv, 168), J. P. as late as 1702 (Va, Mag., i, 369, and Colonial Records of N. C, i, 645 and 675), and in 1704 appears on the Quit Rent Rolls for Nansemond under the title of Captain. He was a brother of Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Milner, whose daughter married Miles Cary2 [Quar., xiv, 139).] and by her had: I Thomas, 1670, of Windmill Point II Miles, Jr., 1671, of Potash Creek
