General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Corey

---

There was a Bible in the possession of the Corey family of Braddock, Pennsylvania, which has the record of nine generations of this family. It was given to John Cory, as the name was then spelled, the American progenitor of the family, by his mother in 1626, when she bade him farewell as he left his home in Scotland to try his fortune in America. John Cory landed at or near Boston, Massachusetts, soon after the first landing of the “Mayflower,” and for a time lived at New London, Connecticut, where his marriage took place. Later he crossed Long Island sound, and lived at Southampton, where the records show that, on March 7, 1644, he was whale commissioner for the district of Southampton. He died at Hashomomack, Long Island, in 1665, leaving four sons and two daughters. Two of his brothers and two of his cousins came to this country prior to his death, and Giles Cory, the witchcraft martyr of Salem, who was executed, in September, 1692, was a cousin or possibly a brother of John Cory. At his death, John Cory willed his Bible to his son Elnathan, and the family lived on Long Island and Manhattan Island during five generations. [GPHWP, 654]
