Wilson-Miles Cary (1733 or 1734–25 November 1817), member of the Convention of 1776, was the son of Wilson Cary and Sarah Blair Cary and was born probably in Warwick County. From 1752 to 1755 he attended the College of William and Mary, and on 25 May 1759 he married his first cousin Sarah Blair, daughter of his uncle John Blair (ca. 1687–1771), then president of the governor's Council. They had three daughters and two sons. Cary was also closely related to the influential Fairfax, Nelson, and Nicholas families, and his siblings and children married into other prosperous and powerful families, including the Amblers, Carrs, and Jeffersons.
