We decided to update and republish the small book
published in 1992 telling the story of Cory Historian James Enos Cory?s
search for the John1 Cory ?Greate Book?. J. E. Cory located the ?Greate
Book? at Darlington, PA. The ?Greate Book? was written by Rev. Richard
Rogers of Weathersfield , England around 1604. The ?book? is not a Bible
but a study book. It is titled ?The Seven Treatises? This book was given
to John Cory 1 of Long Island, N.Y. by his mother when he came to
America around 1639. It has been passed down from father to son for
twelve generations and is owned by a local descendant. New information
on Rev. Richard Rogers will be included. In the book to be republished
will be 31 pages copied from the original book owned by John Cory 1.
There will be an every name index. Sally Lumley, Diana Maye, and Marge
Chilson are working on this project. More information as to price and
number of pages will be sent out later. Contact
Marge Chilson
for information.
