Trumbull Cary (August 11, 1787 Mansfield, Tolland County, Connecticut - June 20, 1869 Batavia, Genesee County, New York) was an American banker, lawyer, and politician from New York.
Trumbull Cary was born in Mansfield, Connecticut on August 11, 1787. He was the son of Ebenezer Cary (1732–1816) and Sarah Cary (née Trumbull) (1741–1830). In 1805, aged 18, he moved to Batavia, New York with his parents. In 1808, his father was one of two merchants operating in Batavia at the time.
After moving to Batavia, Cary served as the Postmaster of the town for more than twenty years. In 1822, Cary, along with two other citizens, petitioned New York State to incorporate the village of Batavia. The measure failed, but they tried again the following year, and the State approved the incorporation of the village of Batavia on April 23, 1823.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Genesee Co.) in 1828. From 1831 to 1834, he was a member of the New York State Senate (8th D.), sitting in the 54th (serving alongside future U.S. President Millard Fillmore), 55th, 56th and 57th New York State Legislatures. At the time, the Eighth District consisted of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara and Orleans counties. While serving in the Senate, he met William H. Seward, who later became the Governor of New York, a United States Senator, and the U.S. Secretary of State from 1861 to 1869. Seward and Cary maintained a close personal and political friendship for the rest of Cary's life. In 1840, Cary became the New York State Bank Commissioner, a role in which he served until 1843.
