1805, and settled in what is now the town of Starkey, Yates county. Here the pioneer spent his after life, a substantial
farmer and respected citizen. The sons, Thomas A. and William Corey left home and settled in Halsey Valley. Thomas
A., in 1831, and William in 1833; and with the subsequent events of Tioga town, both as citizens and farmers, these
sons had much to do. Thomas married with Catharine Lott, and by her had two children, viz: William Harrison Corey,
who for about fifty years has been in some manner identified with business and political history in Owego, and
who since 1881 has been station agent of the D., L. & W. R. R. company in the village; and Mary Corey, who
married with John Brown, a merchant doing business in Owego. About 1880 Thomas Corey returned to Yates county where
he died in 1891. William Corey, who now lives in Waverly, married with Wealthy A. Hubbard and by her had two children,
Horace and Lionel Corey, the former now in Chicago and the latter in Waverly.
