William Ferdinad Carey, 8th Baron Hunsdon of Hunsdon

Hunsdon, Baron (E, 1559 - 1765)

soc.genealogy.medieval:Extinct 12 June 1765. Yes, on the death of 8th Baron Hunsdon in 1765, the legitimate male line of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon, is believed to have become extinct, according to CP, and no male Carey stepped forward to claim the Barony afterwards

William Ferdinand Cary, 8th Lord Hunsdon, baptized 14 Jan 1684, died 12 Jun 1765. He was naturalized as a British citizen, by Act of Parliament between 1689 and 1691. He succeeded to the title of 8th Baron Hunsdon of Hunsdon, co. Hertford [E., 1559] on 11 March 1707/8, after he petitioned to claim the Barony. On his death, his Barony is presumned to have become extinct. Married 11 Jan 1717/8, Grace Waldo, born c1684, (daughter of Sir Edward Waldo of Pinner and Unknown) died 9 May 1729.

Ernestus Carey appears to have been the Bishop's grand nephew. He was the son of Sir Robert Carey and grandson of Sir Edmund Carey of Moulton Park. Edmund was the legitimate son of Henry Carey and Anne Morgan and would have been the Bishop's half-brother. Sir Robert Carey was Captain of the Horse in the Netherlands, and he had 3 sons with his Dutch wife - Horatio, Ernestus and Ferdinand. As a second son, Ernestus may have been intended to pursue a career in the church, which would explain his presence in the Bishop's household, but he was eventually a Colonel instead. Horatio Carey's son Robert became the 6th Baron Hunsdon in 1677, following the death of the 2nd Earl of Dover, but he died without issue in 1692. The 7th Baron was another Robert Carey, son of Colonel Ernestus Carey and his wife St. John Salveyn. The 7th Baron died in 1702, also without surviving issue. The 8th and last Baron Hunsdon was William Ferdinand Carey, the grandson of Ferdinand Carey mentioned above. His father had been born in Holland and had apparently remained there, since William Ferdinand became a naturalized British citizen between 1689-1691. He had to petition to claim the barony of Hunsdon, which would have required proof of lineage. His claim succeeded and he became Lord Hunsdon in 1707/08, but he died without surviving issue in 1765, and thus the direct line of the 1st Lord Hunsdon ended.
