The grave of John Cary cannot be located. There is a John Cary Monument erected on his homestead in West Bridgewater, Mass. 1905. It reads:
Near this spot was the home of
JOHN CARY
born in Somersetshire, England
He became in 1651 an original proprietor,
And honored settler on this River.
Was clerk of the Plantation
When the town of Bridgewater was Incorporated, in 1656.
He was elected Constable,. The first and only officer of that year.
Was town clerk until his death in 1681.
Tradition says,
He was the first teacher of Latin in Plymouth colony.
This tablet erected by his descendants in memory
Of their historic and noble ancestor.

In 1785, one Moses Cary wrote about John Cary, the founder of the family that came to Duxbury about 1634, and says:
"When he landed it gave him a dreadfull shock, for was brought up delicately and left a delightful country, and here he found himself not only in a strange land, but in a frightful wilderness and destitute of any of the comforts of life.--saw no way to get a living but to go to work, though he was not brought up to any kind of labor. He was so full of trouble that he shed tears bountifully, which so moved the captain of the vessel that he offered to carry him back again, but he said, "No, I will never go back."
