  Apprentice in the Williamsburg office of Alexander Purdie (345) and John Dixon (140).
  Carey is a fleeting presence in the historical record; he appears just once, in a list of minor children bound out by the York County Court in 1769 and 1770; he was assigned to the Purdie & Dixon office in Williamsburg at that time. That single glimpse and a fairly common name make a fuller identification impossible without more data.
