Summary

Description
English: Cary of four quarters impaling Milliton, detail from monument to Robert III Cary (d.1586) of Clovelly, Devon, who married Margaret Milliton, daughter of John Milliton and widow of John Giffard of Yeo in the parish of Alwington, North Devon. South wall of chancel, All Saints Church, Clovelly. Escutcheon on base of the west side showing his own arms of Cary of four quarters:
  • 1st: Argent, on a bend sable three roses of the field (Cary);
  • 2nd: Or, three piles in point azure (Bryan of Tor Bryan, Devon, for Jane de Bryan, a daughter and co-heiress of Sir Guy de Bryan (d.1396) of Tor Bryan, Devon, wife of Sir John Cary;[1]
  • 3rd: Gules, a fess between three crescents argent (Holleway of Holway in North Lew, for Margaret Holleway, daughter and heiress of Robert Holleway, wife of Sir John Cary (d.1395) (son of Margaret de Bryan), Chief Baron of the Exchequer);[2]
  • 4th: A chevron; usually in this position Cary quarters de Orchard: A chevron between three pears pendant, as is visible on the monument to Thomas Cary (d.1567) of Cockington (elder half-brother of Robert Cary (d.1586) of Clovelly), in Tor Mohun Church.
Arms of Thomas Cary (d.1567) of Cockington in Tor Mohun Church, showing de Orchard in the 4th quarter

Sir Philip Cary (d.1437) of Cockington (great-grandfather of Robert Cary (d.1586) of Clovelly) married Christiana Orchard, daughter and heiress of William Orchard of Orchard in Somerset (today either Orchard Wyndham or Orchard Portman). Yet here the pears are missing. Griggs, p.4, states the chevron is for Fulford (Gules a chevron argent), yet his grandfather's 2nd wife Anna/Alice Fulford, daughter of Sir Baldwin Fulford, was not an heiress (she had a brother) and thus the Fulford arms would not be quartered by the Cary family, according to the laws of heraldry. Nor was Robert Cary (d.1586) descended from that marriage.

The Cary quartered arms impale: Gules, a chevron or between three millets hauriant argent (Milliton, canting arms, a "millet" in heraldry being a type of fish, possibly a mullet)[3] for his wife Margaret Milliton
