| Name | Elephel Fitzgerald was also known as Elephel Slocum.3 |
| Biographical Note | Elephel's ancestry is unknown for certain. But according to the History of the Slocums, 'Tradition--agreeing in families widely separated for generations--says that Elephel Fitzgerald was a lady of high birth, and some families hold that she was among the number of young women who were forcibly brought to America and sold for wives to respectable purchasers--the purchase money in this instance amounting to about $600. The tradition is possibly true... Mrs. Julia (Ferris) Pearce of Pawling, NY--a descendant of Eliezer and Elephel--communicated to the writer in 1881 the tradition held in her family concerning the coming of Elephel Fitzgerald to America, as follows: A daughter of Earl Edmund Fitzgerald of Dublin became affianced to an English officer, against her father's will, and eloped with him taking with her a younger sister, this Lady Elephel, whom they brought to America, perhaps to further the success of their plans.'.4 |

| Note | He lived in North Kingstown (now called Wickford), Rhode Island. His birth was also reported to have been in East Greenwich by some sources. He died in the 'Old Corey Farm House.' See details about the house and property in the notes with his father's entry. John Corey,Jr.'s will was dated 16 March 1768. On May 12, 1712, John Corey (II) deeded to John Corey (III) a house and land at North Kingston. There are some reports that he had two wives. Confusion arises even further because their names were Mary Evans and Elizabeth Evans. If in fact he had two wives both with the surname Evans, logic, based upon available information, would suggest that Mary was his first wife or that his wife's name was Mary Elizabeth or, on occasion, Elizabeth Mary. The most reliable records indicate only one wife whose name was Elizabeth. John was an active member in the Society of Friends (Quakers).5 |

| Name | John Cory was also known as John Corey, Sr.3,4 |
| Birth | He was born About 1658, in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode IslandG.5,6,7 |
| Marriage | He married Elizabeth Gasesett daughter of Chief Canonchet Miantomomo II and Mephibosheth Thayer, Between 1678 and 1679, in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode IslandG.2,8,9,7 |
| Biographical Note | On 7 May 1679 BIOGRAPHY May 7, 1679 on his petition was granted, by assembly, land in East Greenwich out of shares not taken up. 1686 made a Freeman. 22 March 1686 John of Portsmouth, had 10 acres of land laid out to him in East Greenwich. 4 April 1705, Bought of Daniel Thurston and wife Mary, of Newport, 90 acres of land in East Greenwich for 40 pounds. 10 April 1705 He and wife Elizabeth, sold Jonathan Nichols, of Newport 12 acres for 20 pounds. 16 April 1705 He and Wife Elizabeth, sold to William Brightman, of Newport, 50 acres, for 350 pounds. 4 October 1707 he deeded to son William, for love etc 90 acres, house and meadow, at East Greenwich. ( Both he and son were of Portsmouth, at this date). 1707 Kings Town Deputy. 12 May 1712. Will-Proved 14 July 1712..Exx. Wife Elizabeth. To Wife, certain land and all personal. To son John, house and land, he paying certain legacies.(The rest of will illegible or destroyed.). 26 June 1713 Widow Elizabeth, of Kings Town, sold John Mumford, of Newport, 91 acres in east Greenwich, for 16 pounds. 15 Dec 1713 Son Thomas, with consent of mother Elizabeth, put himself apprentice to Christopher Lindsey, of Newport, house carpenter, for the term of four years, eight months and seventeen days. He lived in Portsmouth and Kingstown, Rhode Island. 7 May 1679 his petition was granted by the assembly for land in East Greenwich out of shares that had not been taken up. 1686 He was made a Freeman, which seems to indicate that he might have been an indentured servant or an apprentice. In that year he had 10 acres of land laid out to him in East Greenwich. (Sources are not clear as to whether this was an affirmation of the 1679 grant or an addition to that property.) He bought 90 acres of land in East Greenwich for 40 pounds from Daniel Thurston and wife Mary. 10 April 1685 he and his wife, Elizabeth, sold Jonathan Nichols 12 acres for 20 pounds. 16 April 1705 he and Elizabeth sold 50 acres for 350 pounds to William Brightman of Newport. 4 October 1707 he deeded to his son William, for love etc.90 acres, a house and meadow at East Greenwich. (Records indicate that both he and his son were of Portsmouth of this date. This may account for the discrepancy in the listings of his place of death.) 1707-1708 he was a Kings Town Deputy. In his will he left his son, John, the farm on Quonset Peninsula at East Greenwich, Kent County, Rhode Island, one half mile from Narragansett Bay. That was where 'The Old Corey House' was built (in 1713, one year after John Sr.'s death). His will was dated 12 May 1712 and proved 14 July 1712. (Other sources indicate that he might have died 31 May 1712 or 1713 in Portsmouth.) He named his wife, Elizabeth, executrix of his will, an unusual direction to be given in those days of male dominance of financial matters. To his Wife he left certain land and all personal belongings. To his eldest son, John Jr., he left the house and land, John Jr. to pay certain legacies. The rest of the will was illegible or destroyed. He was buried on the family farm, as were his wife and many of his descendants. However, all of the graves in the family cemeteries on Quonset Peninsula were moved by the U.S. Navy to Quidnessett Cemetery, Section 29, in North Kingstown (Wickford) in 1941. Additions were built to the Corey house between 1730 and 1800. In 1941when the U.S. Navy bought all of the land on Quonset Peninsula in order to build a base where Quonset huts were built. The 'newer' vacation cottages on the peninsula were used as officers' quarters. The farm houses were used to house labourers or were torn down. The fate of 'The Old Corey House' is unknown by this researcher.2 |
