Joshua Clary, oldest son of Upton and Sarah Clary, was born in 1822 in the 3rd district of Appling County.
He was married in 1842 to Cassandra Westberry, born 1828 in Appling County, daughter of Noah Westberry, son of Moses, of the Friendship community of old Appling.
Shortly after marriage Mr. Clary and wife settled on what is now known as the old George Madray farm about two miles east of Madray Springs and about eight miles northwest of where Jesup now is. Later, he acquired considerable land to the south, as far as Goose Creek, a distance of about four miles. In later years he moved to one of his farms near Goose Creek, and after a few years he built a new home on or near Goose Creek about two miles south of Madray Springs; some of this land is still in the Clary family.
Mr. Clary engaged in farming all adult life, and also engaged in the timber business, cutting the huge pine trees and hauling the logs to nearby Altamaha River where they were floated to mills. He also had a wide reputation as a blacksmith, and with the help of slaves and some hired help, he produced and supplied a good deal of supplies for the Confederate cavalry during the war.
Mr. Clary died at his home on Goose Creek in the summer of 1906 and was buried in the Clary cemetery east of Madray Springs. His wife survived and died about 1914 and was buried beside him.
