What sorta got my interest is that apparently according to the same
website, Robert Carey married Elizabeth
Trevanion which while it don't seemt like much, her birth mother is
given as Sybilla Morgan and the parents of Sybilla apparently are Thomas Morgan and Elizabeth Whitney, meaning
he married a first degree cousin.
Mind you there is nothing particular odd about this at the time since
such liason were common in the nobility. I mainly look into this because I thought
approaching the Carey geanalogy from Sybilla may help.
Problem is though that she and her husband are probably even more
obscure than Thomas Morgan so far I've found two diverging version of the
event. A big problem is that there is no defintivie answer.
First one is the one I've mention prior hand which to come from A
genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the landed gentry of Great Britain
& Ireland for 1852 around page 1432,
I'm pretty sure this is the source of most recent claim as to a cousin relation
between the two.
Second one while interesting is just as much as a end dead. It come
from a survey of Cornwall 1620 (page 240)
as you can see it put a bit more uncertainty as to the exact lineage of
Sybilla. Her father is given as simply a Morgan from "Lockstowe"
which seem to be nowhere on the map except in those page. While we have seen
arkstone (Thomas presume home village) the name don't quite fit except for the
last part and apparently at the time another line of Carey was of importance in
Langstone. I've found some hint of a Morgan lineage in the town of Langstone,
but can't quite quite confirm anything at the moment. Either way trying to lock
in on the pair seem fruitless
You would think the memoirs of Robert Carey would shed some light on
the issue but his memoirs are, but nothing about his marriage indicate it was
one between cousin. It seem however he has a level of infatuation with his wife
as he married for her character apparently rather than some sort of larger
political machination (page 51)
Queen Elizabeth was actually pissed off by this marriage without authorisation
but his father was fine with it.
