Pierre was sworn in as Jurat on 27 Mar 1694. At that time the
people of Guernsey were suffering from having to provide, as
they had to several times before, not only lodging, but also pay
for a battalion of English soldiers, which had been sent over to
garrison the Island in view of an expected attack by the French.
William III had just taken over the throne of England from James
II, who was in exile in France, and had not despaired of
regaining his throne with the help of the French. The States of
Guernsey appointed Pierre to proceed as their Deputy to the King
to represent to him the great expense caused to the Island from
June 1696. The inhabitants had to submit to a monthly tax, all
innkeepers had to take in two soldiers and tavernors had to take
at least one, all at their own expense, and the burden became
too great. On 6 Apr 1698, at the meeting of the States, Pierre
was appointed, and on June 9, an order from the Privy Council
reads:
' The Petition of Peter Carey, Esq., one of the Jurays of the
Royal Court in Guernsey, imployed by the Estates of that Island,
to present to His Majesty the difficulties they lie under by
subsisting and lodging the garrison there, praying payment of
about 1,344 due for subsisting six companies of Col. Mordant's
regiment, and that for the future of the island might be
exempted from such charges: referring the same to the Lords of
the Treasury.' ( Treasury Papers 1698. )
The Petition was read and minuted on the 11th Oct 1698. Pierre
was finally paid the expenses on 2 May 1700.

Isaac was an important man in St Andrews Parish. He succeeded to
the manor of Ste Helene on the death of his father, and was
Captain of the St Andrew's Company of Militia, with a strength
of 105 men.
In 1671, he was nominated for election as Jurat, together with
Jean Bonamy. When the election took place, the voting was equal,
and the matter was referred to the privy Council for decision.
Charles II, no doubt in view of the Parliamentarian proclivites
of the Carey family, gave his decision in favour of Bonamy, and
by an Order in Council of 15 Sept 1671 he was sworn in as Jurat.
Isaac did not however have to wait long for election, and was
sworn in on 24 Jan 1673, together with William Andros

Pierre III CAREYE [Parents] 1 was born 1609. He died 1671. Pierre married Marthe GIBAULT.

Pierre was one of the most distinguished Guernseymen of the
Seventeenth Century showing bravery and tenacity in carrying out
his duties as a Jurat and Lieut.-Governor under Parliament
during a troublesome time. Despite the difference in language,
Pierre kept in touch with the Parliamentary leaders in England
in a marvellous manner. From time to time, he was selected by
the States to proceed to England to lay various matters and
complaints before the English Parliament and received on various
occasions thanks for the way in which he carriedout his duties.
Pierre was one of the notable figures in Guernsey history,
namely for his dramatic Escape in 1643 cutting through the
wooden floorboards with his knife along with two others whilst
imprisoned in Castle Cornet just intime to avoid death on the
gallows during the English Civil War. Also the lucky chance that
the cannon trained on them missed fire no fewer than six times
whilst they made their way back to the Island.
At the time of the escape, hewas acting as Sheriff having
previously been elected on 25 May 1639. Subsequently, he was
elected as Jurat on 22 Apr 1648. He had been acting as the
Island's representative in transmitting intelligence to, and
receiving orders from,Lord Warwick, who in his position as Lord
High Admiral, could govern the Island only by proxy.
There are many documents requesting various duties to be
performed by Pierre as follows:
The Authorities in Guernsey were worried for the safety of Sark,
fearing a raid from Jersey, as the Royalists had command of the
sea around the Channel Islands. Pierre was sent over there with
the following instructions:
10 January 1644
We pray you, in the name of the States, to repair to the Island
of Sark, and prevail on the soldiers, quartered there, to
continue firm in their duty. Remind them of our solicitude for
their welfare, which we have shown by obtaining one hundred
crowns for their own use, which shall be paid to them according
to our request. You will, moreover, re-establish the general
affairs of the island in such manner as your discretion and
prudence think fit, so as to create harmony and good will
between the inhabitants and the troops, for the benefit and
service of the King and Parliament. By so doing you will greatly
oblige your affectionate friends,
Robert Russel, Pierre de Beauvoir, Josias le Marchant, Thomas
Careye, Michael de Sausmarez, Jean Careye.

The people of Guernsey were not united in their support of
Parliament, and Pierre was instructed on several occasions to
write to the Earlof Warwick asking for help in suppressing
local insurrections organized from Castle Cornet by Sir Peter
Osborne. On 12 Sep 1645, a Dutch vessel brought news that a
large Royalist fleet was assembling in Falmouth with the Channel
Islands as their objective. The Parliamentarian Commissioners
were extremely concerned and requested Pierre to go to England
to solicit help in repelling the anticipated attack. Robert
Russel, the resident Lieut.-Governor provided him with the
following passport:
13 September 1645
These are to certiffie you thatthis gentleman Capn Peter Carey
inhabitant of this Island of Guernzey hath bymany ample
demonstrations evidenced his affection and zeale to the
parliamentary cause, and the same hath at all tymes contributed
his utmost, both of power and ability, and is nowe by me
imployed to the parliament about some urgentaffaires which
concerne the wellfare and security of this place, wherefore it
is my desire that he may be permitted to passe with what shall
appartayne tohim both by sea and lande without any estoppall or
hindrance unto London, andfrom thence with like libertie to
returne again to this place, given under myhand and seale att
Guernzey aforesaid this 13th daye of September Ano Dni 1645.
