Hi Everybody, Have been building a five generation family file of William Corry of Portsmouth. In doing this have hit a brick wall on two of the daughters of William Cory and Martha Cook that married two of the sons of Benjamin Hall and Frances Parker. The two sons were Benjamin who married Patience Cory on 18 Apr 1706. The other son is George Hall who married Mary Cory 19 Jun 1712. The children are listed in the Vital Records of Rhode Island. The vital records are obscure enough that I cannot determine who the children married. If any one has information on the descendants please contact me.
