Jacob 2 Corey (John 1 ), of Southold, d. 15 Feb., 1706. A list of

Jacob's lands will be found in the Town Records. He was Overseer, and Patentee of Southold, in 1676. He was worth ^92 in
1683, while three years later his household was composed of two
males and five females.
Griffin in his Journal names Jacob Corey in his list of the
thirteen earliest settlers of Southold. This oft-quoted list is not
supported by any documentary evidence whatsoever, as has been
ably shown by the late Mr. J. Wickham Case, and also by Dr. Epher Whitaker, in his History of Southold. The will of John
Corey first, mentioned above, is proof that Jacob was of the
second Corey generation.
He married, as early as 1672, Ann (Tuthill?), who died on the
11 April, 1739. Issue, named in the order given in the Census of
1698:
i. Jacob, Jr.,

of two of his children are given in the Salmon Record.
