James Carey (d. ca. 1801), younger brother of Mathew Carey, had begun publication of the Virginia Gazette: and Richmond Daily Advertiser on 1 Oct. 1792. Shortly thereafter the paper became a triweekly, ceasing publication early in 1793. In March of that year Carey removed to Charleston, South Carolina, where he established another short-lived newspaper. In the next seven years Carey started six other papers, in Georgia, the Carolinas, and Pennsylvania, none surviving longer than two years. A radical Jeffersonian, by 1797 he had settled in Philadelphia where, in the last years of his life, he published successively the Daily Advertiser, Carey’s United States’ Recorder, and the Constitutional Diary (Brigham, American Newspapers description begins Clarence S.
