Wilson-Miles Cary (1733-November 30, 1817) was a Virginia planter and politician who became a prominent patriot in the American Revolutionary War and later a prominent Federalist and citizen in Williamsburg. Once one of the colony's wealthiest men, Cary served in the House of Burgesses and later the Virginia House of Delegates representing at various times Warwick County, Elizabeth City County (modern Hampton) and newly created Fluvanna County. Cary also built Carysbrook plantation in Fluvanna County, where he died in the household of his grandson Wilson Jefferson Cary (who would continue the family's legislative tradition five years later).[1][2][3]
