Popular Cary Biographies

Diana Serra (Montgomery) Cary
Born as Peggy-Jean Montgomery, later known as Diana Serra Cary, but known in silent films as "Baby Peggy", she was the first big child screen star, earning over a million dollars a year in the early 1920s! From 1921 through 1924, she starred in over 150 short films and some popular features. Then her career (at the ripe old age of 6) crashed and she became a "has been." Her father, Jack Montgomery, moved his family from San Diego to Los Angeles so that he could be a horse-riding stuntman in movies. While visiting her father's set, she was "discovered" by a director (at 19 months old) and put in a short film with Brownie the Wonder Dog. Her father negotiated the same pay for her that he got as a stunt double - $7.50/day - and her career began. She became such a huge star that Gimbel's Dept Store created a doll of her and she appeared onstage with FDR in the 1924 Presidential convention. Unfortunately, while she earned over 1 million dollars a year (and, according to her, was worth $4 million by age 10), her parents didn't save any of her earnings. And, her father wasn't easy to get along with - so she was blackballed from movies. Then a relative absconded with all of her money, leaving the family destitute. She never really returned to Hollywood (silent film stars were considered "has beens") and she eventually became a writer in the 1970s, writing about the old days of Hollywood as well as an autobiography, Whatever Happened to Baby Peggy? . Diana, or Baby Peggy, died on the 24th of February, 2020, at the age of 101. One son and a granddaughter survive her. Her 2nd husband, to whom she was married for 48 years, died in 2003.

A fellow Tate family researcher has in her possession a family register prepared for Robert Cary dated 1800. She has provided me with a photocopy of the complete booklet. The original, she says, is covered in linen. The inside of the front and back cover depict samples of cursive writing, which means the blank booklet may have been manufactured as a school notebook.

Walter Evans made the first entries in 1800. He apparently updated the document in 1802. Many entries are for persons born after 1802, which are in several different handwritings. I have left the original capitalization and spelling intact within quotation marks.

From the “History of Claiborne County,” transcribed by Fred Smoot, Walter Evans was the Clerk of the County Court for Claiborne County between 1801 and 1816.
