Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Cory (and variant spellings) families who came mainly from England, Ireland, Scotland (especially Dumfries), and Wales (especially Cardiff). In England, some lived in Bristol and London, and the counties of Cambridge, Cornwall, Devon, Norfolk, and Northampton. Some immigrated to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. In the 1600's, some came to the United States, and settled in Massachusetts, and Long Island (New York). In the 1700's, some settled in New Brunswick (Canada), Barbados (West Indies), and in Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont. During the 1800's, some moved to Ontario and Quebec (Canada), and to California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Later descendants also lived in Nova Scotia (Canada), and in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming, and elsewhere. Some have American Indian bloodlines, such as the orphan Elizabeth (Minnetan Koo) of the Narragansett tribe, who was adopted by John Corey.

The Cory Family Society was formed in 1986. It is also known as the National Cory Family Society, and is an International society, with many regional branches throughout the United States. A related organization is the Cory Family Society [U.K.] which was organized in England in October 1992. They meet annually in London each June.
