Shep's Place Family Tree

Poor Peggy had married Felix Carey, eldest of the Cary boys, when she was 15 years old. Felix was 18. She was 16 years old when she had her first baby, 17 for the second and 19 for the third and last who was born about three weeks before Peggy's death.

After their mother's premature death, the children would have been cared for by the women of the Serampore community, which was headed by Hannah Marshman. The little boy lived for less than two years, but Dolly and Lucy lived to adulthood. Dolly was named for Felix's mother Dorothy Plackett Carey.
