Carey Business School, Johns Hopkins Endowment of $5 Million by W. P. Carey

In December 2006 W. P. Polk’s Foundation endowed the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, which is named after his g-g-g-grandfather, James Carey of Loudon (1751- 1834).

In its spring 2007 issue, Business Matters, published twice a year by the Carey Business School, featured an article about James Carey, who was a relative of university founder Johns Hopkins, as well as an ancestor of a number of trustees of the university and the Johns Hopkins Hospital

Also, the Carey Family legacy of philanthropy, civic duty, and social involvement is deeply intertwined with the history of MD, and in particular, Baltimore.

Previous Carey/Cary Family News issues (1999, 2003, 2004, 2006) have included articles about James Carey and descendants of distinction. The Editor, Carey/Cary Family News, was contacted by a marketing staff member, JHU, as William Polk Carey, Chairman, W.P. Carey Co., LLC., research of this Carey family was conducted.

Carey’s Camp, West of Millsboro, Sussex Co., Delaware A picture post card with a 1907 message, featured in Sussex Countian, Georgetown, DE, 8/4/1966 by Helen Simmons Carey

The annual Cary/Cary Family Reunion includes a service at Carey United Methodist Church near Millsboro, DE. Adjoining the church is historic Carey’s Camp, as shown in the picture to the right.

At the 2005 reunion the Editor was given a copy of a (now) 40-year old article from a local newspaper, featuring a 1907 post card of Carey’s Camp. According to the article text, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Esham (now deceased) of Salisbury had loaned the unidentified writer the post card and had provided names for some of the persons shown. Included were a child, Mary Mitchell Esham; another child, Ray Early 1900 view of a ‘tent’ at Carey’s Camp Mitchell; and an adult, John B. Mitchell.
