Elizabeth Gasesett1,2,3
F, #8376, b. About 1660, d. 1713

Parents
| Name | Elizabeth Gasesett was also known as Elizabeth Cory.4 |
| Name | She was also known as Minnetinka Gasesett.5 |
| Name | She was also known as Minnetinka.3 |
| Name | She was also known as Elizabeth Corey. |
| Biographical Note | There are questions about the names and spellings of Elizabeth's and her father's names. The main sources used here refer to the daughter as Elizabeth Gasesett (others spell it Gassoset or Gassett) and her father as a Narragansett Indian sachem. An article in the April 2000 issue of the 'Cory Family Society Newsletter' quotes a writer named Edwin Frances Corey saying that a newspaper article which he recalled reading years previously stated that the daughter's name was 'Minnetan koo.' A reference found by a descendent of Lillis Baker Corey, (Richard_Kretsinger@macnexus.org) at another web site followed a line of Coreys from Robert in England, dated 1554. It appeared to use 'Minnetinka' as Elizabeth's Indian name and referred to her father as Chief Gasesett. This web site, however, was no longer valid when tried by this researcher. Whether Gasesett was the father's name, the adopting parents' name or Elizabeth's Indian name is unknown. She is listed herein with Gasesett as her maiden name and that of her sachem father. Documentation states that Elizabeth Gasesett was an Indian 'Princess;' Her mother having died when Elizabeth was young, she was orphaned when her father was killed in a battle with the Mohegan Indians during King Philip's War (1675-76). The Mohegans were allied at that time with the English who wished to destroy the Pequot tribes and their allies. Elizabeth was reportedly adopted by a white Quaker family whose identity is unknown. They reared and educated her. When her husband died he made her the sole executor of his estate.There is a question as to whether Elizabeth was John Corey's first or second wife. Although some records state that he fathered eight children by one wife and two by another, there is only one wife, Elizabeth, buried with him. Their headstones are unusual and identical as though quarried from the same rock source and carved by the same hand. She was originally buried in the family cemetery on Quonset Peninsula, but when the Navy bought the land in 1941 in order to build Quonset huts, the family graves were moved to Quidnessett Cemetery. [See further notes with her husband's entry).3 |
| Birth | She was born About 1660, in Newport County, Rhode IslandG. Minnetinka was raised and educated by a Quaker or Dutch family after her mother died and her father was killed by the Mohegans. She adopted her Christian name Elizabeth.6,3,5,7 |
| Marriage | She married John Cory son of William Cory and Mary Earle, Between 1678 and 1679, in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode IslandG.3,8,9,5 |
| Death | Elizabeth Gasesett died in 1713 in Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode IslandG.10 |
| Burial | She was buried on 19 December 1713 in the family cemetery, Quonset Peninsula, North Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode IslandG. The graves of John Cory and Elizabeth "Minnetinka" Gasesett were removed from the family cemetery on Quonset Peninsula to Quidnessett Cemetery in 1941 to make room for a military base.3 Marker - Elizabeth "Minnetinka" (Gasesett) Corey, next to her husband John.

| Reinter | She was reinterred in 1942, in Quidnessett Cemetery, North Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode IslandG. The graves of John Cory and Elizabeth "Minnetinka" Gasesett were removed from the family cemetery on Quonset Peninsula to Quidnessett Cemetery in 1941 to make room for a military base. |
