History of the Town of Rindge NH 1736 - 1874: p. 469-470:

Barnabas Cary was a blacksmith who removed from Attleborough, Mass., 1768. Mr. Cary d. 1795, aged 76, and his wife Mary d. Feb. 14, 1780, aged 55. The names and births of his children are given with approximate accuracy, although it would appear from an old rhyme, well remembered by many of the aged people in this town, that the name of one child was omitted. The distraught poet probably introduced the name of an imaginary individual for euphonic effect. Poetic license has a wide range. The children were said to be: -- "Bumlick and Sary, Margret and Mary, Barnabas and Lazarus, and little Johnny Cary."
