Said to be the  illegitimate son of George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax.

Carey did not make the claim himself, but he did use "Savile" as the name of three of his male children, and these corresponded to the births of Halifax's own three sons. Furthermore, he dedicated all of his major works to Halifax.
