See Fairfax Harrison, The Virginia Carys: An Essay in Genealogy (New York: De Vinne Press, 1919); and Hamilton J. Eckenrode, The Randolphs: Story of a Virginia Family (Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1946). 2. Hannah More (1745–1833). One of London’s “Bluestocking wits,” recognized by Samuel Johnson and Edmund Burke, More became a favorite of David Garrick, who produced her plays, The Inflexible Captive and Percy. Deeply religious , the evangelical More supported abolitionist William Wilberforce and would Notes to Pages 6–16 212 gain even greater attention in era of the French Revolution for her pronounced conservative social views. 3. Virginia Randolph Cary (1786–1852). Cary proved a continuing inspiration to Archibald and Constance Cary. Her first and best known work was Letters on Female Character (1828). Cynthia A. Kierner, “Virginia R. Cary,” Dictionary of Virginia Biography (Richmond: Library of Virginia, 2006), vol. 3: 115–16. 4.

Lucius Cary, resolute supporter of Charles I, was killed at the critical First Battle of Newbury, September 20, 1643, two hundred years before the birth of Constance Cary Harrison (CCH). A scholar, orator, and gentleman, he had no business on the battlefield. Viscount Falkland died as he lived, in defiance of the forces of Parliament. 8. Probably unknown to CCH, the Reverend Mr. Hillhouse Buel was a New York abolitionist who made Emmanuel Parish, where he was rector, the final stop on the Underground Railroad. It was just five miles below the Mason-Dixon line. Beneath the church and probably the rectory were the tunnels that were once a part of Fort Cumberland. In this maze of earthen passageways, the runaways received food and shelter before moving north. The relationship of Archibald Cary and Buel fueled the suspicions of the editors that Archibald was sympathetic with the antislavery cause, agreeing with his brother-in-law, Gouverneur Morris Jr. of New York.
