First Generation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. John Cory I1 was born on 9 Oct 1611 in England. He died on 7 Mar 1685 in Southold, Suffolk Co, Long Island, NY. Just where John I came from, in the old world, as of the publication date of the Second Edition of "Corys Of America", has not been proven satisfactorily or strong enough to say at this time. He may have arrived in America on the Ship Planter. Some of the first researchers of the Cory Genealogy tried to prove that he came from Bramerton Hall near Norwich, England. It is also believed that he came to America about 1637. He may have lived in Salem, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The latest theory is that he was the John Cory that was in Rhode Island and left under strange circumstances. Also that he may have been the father of William of Portsmouth. We believe that John was one of the men who assisted John Youngs on October 21 1640 in the organization of the First (Presbyterian) Church at Southold, LI., New York. John Cory is mentioned as being from Southold and as the Whale Commissioner 7 March 1644. The Will of John CORY I, dated 1 February 1685. Proved 2 October 1685. I give to Son John, Iron Kettle, Great Bible, Chest and its contents, a Cloke and halfe a debt of 12 pounds, half my Weaving Takell, my Bell Mette Skillet, Beds Rugs and Bolsters..I give my son Jacob halfe my Land in Ye Oyster ponds, Upper Neck, to be paid by son Abraham, 2 Cows, halfe my Sheep, Weaving Cloaths and halfe my Weaving Takell, halfe my Husbandry Tools, with halfe my Lumber and 14 acres of Land to his son..To son Abraham my lot in Ye Oyster Ponds, upper Neck, he paying halfe ye price to his brother Isaac, halfe my Sheep, a debt of 12 pounds, halfe my Husbandry Tools and halfe lumber..

John Cory I and Ann Salmon were married on 2 Jul 1638 in New London, New London Co, CT. Ann Salmon1,2 (daughter of William Salmon and unknown) was born on 25 Feb 1617 in St. Botoloph's, London, ENG. She died on 17 Jan 1680/81 in Southold, Suffolk Co, Long Island, NY. May have been the sister of William Salomon of Southold, Long Island, NY John Cory I and Ann Salmon had the following children:

The Cory Family Society has a website: http://www.coryfamsoc.com/genealogies/index.html There are many Cory families in America. This branch is from John 1 Cory of Southold, Long Island, New York

There is a book with the genealogy of this branch that was written by Harry Harmon Cory. A link to a PDF of the book can be found here in geni.com on the page for Harry Harmon Cory: https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000079632061088&

Another, more recent and extensively researched book titled "CORYS OF AMERICA ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS" was written by Al Bertus Cory. This book can be downloaded here: http://www.familysearch.org/library/books/idurl/1/257088

In an essay, The Great Book of John Cory, Dr. David Cory, M.D. examines in detail some of the mysteries of the Great Book Of John Cory, and suggest solutions when possible:.

A project was undertaken by the Cory Family Society to determine the genetic relationships between Cory/Corey family lines in North America and Britain by analyzing Y-chromosome markers. The wish: to learn whether or not the progenitors: William of Portsmouth, John of Long Island, and Thomas of Chelmsford were genetically related. Each had arrived in America during the period 1635-1645. Also to learn where in Britain the progenitors lived before arriving in America, and to what current Cory lines in Britain they might be related.

GEDCOM Note

From "The Corey Family", by Lucy Dubois Akerly, 1900:"John Corey, of Huntington, son of John Corey, of Southold, from which place the former went to Huntington, perhaps as early as 1659. He bought ahome lot there, on 7 July, 1663, and was granted land in 1668, 1681 and 1682. He was, at one time, one of the owners of number nine of the ten farms, and afterwards of number ten. He is said to have been a Quaker, and was a man of considerable importance at Huntington, being Recorder, Town Clerk, Arbitrator, etc. The inventory of his estate amounting to #82 and 10 shillings was dated 25 Jan., 1685-6. (See Huntington Town Records, and the Suffolk County History). John Corey married at Huntington, on 15 Dec 1667, Mary Cornish, who m 2d, John Sammis (see above [reference is to John Sammis, the husband of Abigail Corey, John Corey's sister]); she survived both of her husbands and is mentioned on 9 April 1696, by her son John Corey, as then living. A Joseph Corey is mentioned in Thompson's History of Long Island, as a resident of Huntington about 1666. No such man being found in the early Records of the Town, Joseph may safely be considered as a misprint for John."
