General
A John Carey Jr. was born in Buffalo, New York around 1884 and married a Mrs. Elizabeth Ritter of Utica, Oneida county, New York in May 1912. The marriage license lists the parents of John Jr. as John Carey born in England and Catherine Dowling born in Ireland. However, that likely is a couple who have the same names as the ancestors since John Carey and Kate (Dowling) (Grogan) Carey did not marry until 1891. A far as is known, the ancestors John and Kate only had one child, Anna Mae. Attached (in the Images section) is a chart/diagram followed by various documents that help show how the Grogans and Kuhns and Careys are related to the Deatons. It is all through Catherine (Dowling) (Grogan) Carey who was the mother of Anna Mae (Carey) Deaton. This also helps explain how Utica (Oneida county) New York ties into the Carey-Deaton family. Catherine Dowling & John Carey as parents of groom John Carey (who is marrying Mrs. Elizabeth Ritter) of Buffalo, Utica, New York 1912

TO FIND: Immigrant Ancestors, Birth Date/Place, 1880 Census (age 12), where living in U.S. before Memphis
As per a letter from the Memphis Library, they checked their index from funeral homes and found a John P. Carey who died on 06-02-1893 at age 25 [born 1868] and was from Ireland. He was buried in Calvary Cemetery.
John Carey, a Quaker from England in 1681, settled in Bucks county PA, married Mary _______.
An Edward Grogan was buried in 1878 in the Grogan Lot in the Calvary Cemetery in Memphis. However, Theresa Grogan was born in 1883. If Edward had instead been buried in 1888 then he might be the father of Julia.
From research in Utica NY library books and microfilmed newspapers: Several Careys were in Utica in 1906: Daisy, Earl, Elmer, George and Irene at 97 Kemble. Others: David C, Eugene A, Frank, H.B., Luzerne, Michael and Peter. There were many more Careys in 1912 but still no John P Carey.
A separate note from an unknown source says: John's father in Chappaqua [north of White Plains NY] maybe from Barbados. The Irelands go back into England. There maybe are two or even three John P. Careys in the 1880's and 1890's who were married to Catherine or Kate or Katie with her last names given as Fitzgerald and Dowling [The Ancestor]. At least one of these John and Kate couples had a connection to Delaware since some of their children were born and married there. A couple named John and Kate were married in Warren county Ohio (between Dayton and Cincinnati). If the 1890 census was still available that might help clarify just how many couples are named John and Kate Carey.
Birth of a John Carey Jr. on Oct.28, 1879 in Formoy [sic Fermoy], Cork county, Ireland to parents John Carey and Kate Sweeny Carey. In May 1912 a John Carey, son, born 1884, of John Carey and Kate Dowling, was married in Utica (Oneida) New York.
A (strange!) timeline for short-lived John Carey:
- born 1868 likely in Ireland but maybe in England
- 08 October 1891 applies for a marriage license in Memphis to wed Mrs. Katie (Dowling) Grogan
- 27 October 1891 has daughter Anna Mae, with Catherine Dowling, in Memphis
- 02 June 1893 dies in Memphis and is buried the next day
