Hi! I’m Tracy. JKC if you are still on here, can you provide me some more info on Robert de Courcy lineage and his relation with the Annandale de Courcy’s (de Corrie)?
Also do you have any information on Robert de Corry that married Susanna Carlyle? His ancestors or how he descended from Charlemagne?
Also, would you have any info on their descendants?
I’m a descendant of Henry Cory born in St. Austell Cornwall England. Born 1804 I believe. I think his father was Henry French Cory. Henry Cory has a son, William, born in 1839 and they came over from Cornwall in 1849. Henry came over in 1848. From what I can figure, is Robert de Corry was granted a safe passage from Scotland, Annandale area, (“Corrie & ?” was the land they lived on...) to Cornwall England... From there, I’m having trouble tracing the Corys from Robert de Corry that moved to England to Henry Cory of Cornwall England, 400 years later.
Can you help me connect these two?
And can you provide me info on Robert de Courcy on how he was related to William the Conquerer?

Hi everyone! I’m a bit lost on the whole Currie family in Scotland, but I’m in the same boat as you all are. I’m from the Cory line that came from Cornwall, England in 1848 and 1849. (Henry Corry, wife Mary, and one of their son’s William b. 1839)
Going back Susanna Carlyle and Robert de Corry in the mid 1300’s, their son Thomas stayed in Scotland while his 2 brothers and parents went to England. There are “forgotten books” about the “Corrie” family in Scotland. One of these books have a line all the way from Alfred The Great to the Goldie Family marrying into the Corrie family in Scotland. There’s a William from Redbank mentioned. And I believe that covers all the way to the mid 1900’s- not certain.
I can’t find out anything about Robert & Susanna after they were granted a safe pass.
From what I gathered, if I am correct, and we are stemming from the same lines (which I’m sure we are) We come from the Carolingian Kings of Germany from Clovis to Charlemagne. From there, it’s Baldric The Teuton and the Barons of Annandale (de Courcy) that became de Corry (Corrie)...
There’s a Richardi de Cursi that is engraved on church in Normandy as one of the people who fought in battle of Hastings with William the Conqueror. There’s so many ways we could have branched off. This family has been known to live on Courcy/Corrie lands for close to eternity- seems that way...
This family was recognized as being de Courcy since the Carolus King, to William the Conqueror and this Ricardo de curci, and over into Scotland.
I’ve been doing much research on this, and we are definitely NOT the only ones with no answers. It appears that the family is non-traceable once getting into Scotland unless you know who was named what. I have read that a Hugh de Courcy went to Scotland and was a knight along with a brother Philip from 1124-1153. It was during this time that de Courcy became de Corrie. I have also seen that King Robert The Bruce took on the last name of Corry. I have also seen the there’s believe that the house of Stuart’s may actually have been Corry’s as well. I read somewhere that they spelled “Cory” differently to distinguish which family they were from.
There’s also John de Courcy that left England and fulfilled the prophecy. It’s unknown if the person who took his place was his son or not. Which if he was, that puts us in Ireland, and another explanation to different version of spellings.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to trace the roots of my Cory and Evans Family.
I have William Cory (b1839 Cornwall, England) son of Henry Cory, also born in Cornwall, England. William married Amanda Loretta Smith, daughter of Mary Elizabeth Evans (born in Montgomery County, IN in 1845) the daughter of Rebecca A.H. (Porter) Evans and James J. Evans (b 1812/1813) Both were members of the Union Church and lived near Mace, Montgomery County, IN.
Can anyone tell me the James J. Evans father, grandfather, and great-grandfather? I’m certain they have roots in Wales & Scotland. I believe they are associated somehow with Hugh Evans that passed away in Highland Ohio and that had lived in Kentucky for a while. I also think they of the same family of the 4 brothers that moved to Gwynedd, PA.
For the Cory Family, I know Henry came over from England in 1847/1848 and his wife (Mary Rowe) and children came over the following year (1848/9).
Can anyone help me connect the male Cory line from Henry Cory to Robert de Corry (Corrie) whom married Susanna Carlyle/Carlisle?
Also can anyone connect Robert de Corry to Richard de Courcy Baron of Stoke Courcy (Whom fought with William the Conqueror, on the Norman Quest, Battle of Hastings)?
