2. [S463] John R. Toten, Christophers Genealogy: Jeffrey & Christopher Christopher of New London, Conn. and their Descendants, pages 5-7 - John' Corey of Southampton and Southold, N. Y. (the father of Abraham 2 Corey), is first mentioned at Southampton on March 7, 1644, as Whale Commissioner for his district. He received a grant of land the following day. On Oct. 8, 1649, he was a resident of Southold; he and his wife Ann being witnesses to a deed there on that date. In 1659 he refused to take the oath of allegiance to New Haven ; but subsequently in 1660 did take that oath. He, "Goodman" Corey was made a freeman of Connecticut in 1662.
   From Moore's Indexes of Southold, N. Y., p. 13, we extract the following abstract of the chronological record of John' Corey as taken from the records of that town:
   1653: Perhaps in Europe (see 5 State Trials, p. 359).
   1659: Refused to take oath of allegiance to New Haven Colony.
   1659: March 9th, received deed from John Budd for home lot and land at Hashamomach, but was called a Quaker and objected to by his neighbors.
   1660: Sued by John Conkling and John Budd, Jr., for letting hogs run at large.
   1660: Took oath of allegiance to New Haven.
   1660: Oct. 11. Gave deed to John Conkling for John Salmon, of land in Hashamomach.
   1662: "Goodman" Corey admitted a freeman of Connecticut. 1664: Deed from G. and S. Jones for dwelling house and four acres.
   1655: Deed from Barnabas Wines for several parcels to him as John Corey, Senior.
   1675: Rated on 1 ox, 2 horses, etc., L 44.
   1680: Release from son Abraham Corey of debts.
   1680: Deeds to his son Isaac2 Corey all of his lands, reserving life estate.
   In the June 28, 1680, release of Abraham2 Corey to his father Johns Corey, Abraham2 Corey signs over to his father John' Corey all his interest in the estate of his father's, John' Corey's estate. This was probably done to clear the way for Johnl Corey to deed all of his lands to his son Isaac2 Corey in consideration of a life estate in same, and probably also maintenance during the remainder of his life; the deed to his son Isaac2 Corey was dated July 6, 1680.
3. [S344] Josephine C Frost, Ancestors of James Wickham and his Wife Cora Prudence Billard, page 34 - 1. JOHN COREY is first mentioned in Southampton, L. I., on March 7, 1644, as a whale commissioner for his district, and the following day received a grant of land. In 1649 he was residing in Southold, L. I., as on October 8 of that year he and his wife Ann witnessed a deed there. As his son John was of age in 1660 he must have been born not later than 1618. In 1659 he refused to take the oath of allegiance at New Haven, but did so in May, 1660. His estate was inventoried March 7, 1686, and his will names his children as John, Jacob, Abram, Isaac, Sarah, Hannah, Abigail (New York Record, Vol. 31, pp. 225, 226). The Census of 1686 names wife Margaret (probably his second), but her maiden name has not been found. (Moore's Index of Southold, p. 13.)
   He was a weaver and closely associated with William Salmon in some way not now known or understood as the latter gave him land before 1649 in the rear of his own home, and on it he resided until Salmon died in 1657, when he deserted the place. This property became a matter for the Court of Magistrates at New Haven and on October 11, 1660, John Corey and his wife Ann conveyed it to John Conkling (who had married Sarah, the widow of William Salmon) to hold until John, son of William and Sarah Salmon, was of age, if he would then "accept it as part of his portion," otherwise John Conkling to remain the owner. (Southold Town Records, Vol. 1, pp. 195, 196.)
   The Town Records of New Haven, Conn., 1653-1665, p. 353, state that John Corey, for affection he bore the children of William Salmon, for the kindness he had received from their father, was now to part with the land (which was given him by William Salmon) to John Conkling and Wm. Salmon, Jr., and the Moore Collection in the New York Genealogical Society states that his wife Ann was the daughter of William Salmon but no references given for the statement
   NoTE.-The Moore Collection referred to in this article was for many years in boxes in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, but in the summer of 1934 it was distributed among other manuscripts and in many ways its value lost.
