Trumbull Cary

Career After moving to Batavia, Cary served as the Postmaster of the town for more than twenty years.

Bank of Genesee In the early 19th century, Batavia was the headquarters of the Holland Land Company, owners of the Holland Purchase that became Western New York. As the largest settlement in the region at the time, it was an ideal place for a bank, and thus the Bank of Genesee was established in the city in 1829, with Cary as one of the incorporators and its first president. For the bank's first year, it operated out of his mansion in Batavia. Cary served as president of the bank for over twenty years, and was a director of the bank until his death in 1869.

For nearly 50 years, he was a vestryman at St. James Church in Batavia.
