CORY. The Cory family, which is now widely scattered throughout the United States as well as being quite well represented in this county, are, according to tradition, all descended from three brothers who came to this country from England at a very early day in our nation's history. Jacob Cory, Sr.,the grandfather of Mahlon C. Cory, was born in Morris County, New Jersey, June 9th, 1760. On the 6th of June, 1787, he was married to Miss Sarah Hedges, who was born on Long Island, September 16th, 1752. Jacob Cory, Sr., died September 27th, 1809, in his fifieth year, his wife surviving him until January, 1844, when she died, being in her ninety-third year. They had three children, two boys and one girl. One of these, Jacob Cory, Jr. was born May 3d, 1790, in Morris County, New Jersey. His wife, whose maiden name was Mary Chadwick, was born in New York City, February 24th, 1795. They were married in Morris County, New Jersey, and in 1818 moved to Cincinnati and lived in Hamilton County eleven years, after which they moved to Preble County, Ohio. Here they remained about four years, and afterwards removed to Fayette County, Indiana,where they resided during the ensuing eighteen years. They finally came to Wabash County, where Cory, Sr., died in October, 1871, at the age of eighty-one years and six months. Mrs. Cory followed him in January, 1867, having reached the age of nearly seventy-three years. They had a family of nine children, of whom Mahlon C., was the eldest, being born on the 17th of February, 1816. Jonathan, the second son, was born November 17th, 1817. He followed the farm, as his father had done before him. Died in 1861. Alexander, born June 20th, 1820, became one of the most successful merchants of Shelbyville. His death took place in 1864. George, born February 9th, 1823, is a farmer, and lives in Wabash County. Sarah Frances, born August 22d, 1825, was married to Mr. Mathias W. Farr in 1848, and was left a widow in 1874. She now lives on a farm near Wabash City. A view of her home appears on this page also. Arthur O., born December 28th, 1827, died in Andersonville Prison in 1865. Eliza, born September 9th, 1831, was married in October, 1868 to William McCarty. Clara, born April 30th, 1834, married John Wilson April 30th, 1857, and was left a widow in 1874. She is now living in the town of Wabash, and on another page will be found a view of her home, and a biographical sketch of her late husband. Theodore H., born August 31st, 1841, is a farmer; married in 1869, and living in Wabash County. Mahlon C., the eldest, was married to Miss Nancy Banks, a native of Wayne County, Indiana, where she was born August 6th, 1815. They were married in Fayette County, Indiana, April 22d, 1838. They came to Wabash County in October, 1845, and settled in what might be called the roughest cabin in the Wabash Valley. It was of the rudest and most primitive style, the door being so low that one was obliged to stoop to enter, the fireplace taking up one entire end, and the cabin being without a window. The chimney, which did not reach as high as the roof of the cabin, afforded admission to a small amount of light through its spacious throat, but had the disagreeable characteristic of always drawing the wrong way, i.e., down into the cabin. In this rude domicile lived Mr. Mahlon C. Cory and his family from the 21st of October until the 8th of March, when they moved into a new cabin. This, built in 1841, is still standing on the now well-improved farm and contrasts strangely with the neat and tasteful modern edifice, with all its present surroundings, in which Mr. Cory now lives. Still it is a reminder of many very happy days spent beneath its sheltering roof, and the old man's eyes glisten as he speaks of them as the happiest part of his lifetime. A sketch of the old cabin is to be seen in the lower right hand corner of the superb view of Mr. Cory's place, given above. Mr. and Mrs. Cory have a family of ten children, whose names are as follows; Alexander R., born February 11th, 1839; Elizabeth, born February 11th, 1839; Marcus C., born September 21st, 1840; Jane, born February 9th, 1842; America, born February 19th, 1844; Sarah, born January 1st, 1846; Mary, born September 27th, 1848; Columbus, born August 17th, 1851; Elmira, born April 6th, 1854; Lewis, born June 7th, 1857. Mr. and Mrs. Cory are now getting along in years, but are still hale and hearty. The entire Cory family have been noted for longevity, and Mr. C.'s prospects are better for many years to come than those of many younger men. He is universally respected as a man of sound and mature judgement, sterling integrity, and high moral principles.
