    3. Facts are pretty much non-existent, but George Corry was likely born 28 November 1764 in Ematris Parish, Cavan County or Monaghan County, Ireland. The father was Thomas Corry and the mother, Mrs. Thomas Corry. At some point, George left Ireland for England and served as a private in the First Regiment, Life Guards from 1790 to 1802. He married Margaret Cole on 2 September 1790 in London, England. In 1817, George and Margaret and their children left England for Canada settling first in the Bathurst, Lanark County area of Upper Canada. George was granted 100 acres of land in Canada and his sons also were granted 100 acres when each reached the age of 21. George later "traded" the unproductive Bathurst land for 100 acres in the Plympton, Lambton County area of Upper Canada. We have no death date for either George or Margaret and no birth, parents, etc. for Margaret. I am a descendent of their son, George, born in 1808. There is limited information about most of the other children with the most information being for Isaac Corry who settled and remained in the Bathurst area. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
