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. 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. There is also record of a
Thomas Cory, born Devonshire, England. We know his father as
Thomas Cory born on the 3rd of July 1600 or 1610 in England, (the year
1610 is most likely a closer year of his birth.) It is known that he was married circa 1630 in Devonshire,
England to an unknown wife where they had three sons; William Cory, born
circa 1632, Devonshire, England, died 8th of Feb. 1681/82 Portsmouth, RI.
Thomas Cor(e)y, born circa 1634, Devonshire, England, died 6th of May 1706
Watertown, MA. John Cory, circa. 1636, Devonshire, England, died in
America.
We know that Thomas Cory, born 3rd of July 1610, England is the same
one that is shown born in Devonshire, England and the same one of same
birth date and year as being born in Norwich, Norfolk, England. We know
that he had a brother William Cory, born circa 1612, Devonshire, England or
possibly Norwich, Norfolk, England. We also know their father's name was
John Cory, born circa 1585, Norwich, Norfolk, England and his wife was
Elizabeth __. We know that his father was Robert (Roger) Cory, born circa
1554, Norwich, Norfolk, England and his wife is unknown. He is most likely
of the Bramerton Hall Corys.
