The only information known about William Corey is written in the "Co rey
Family Bible", which shows his year of birth as 1827 and his date of
de ath as June 8, 1884. It shows a marriage to Cordelia Spelman, however,
no da te of marriage is shown.
It appears that the three illegitimate children of Co rdelia Spelman were
raised with the "Corey" surname and would be considered s tep-children of
William Corey.
The burial location of William Corey and Cord elia Spelman is unknown.
They are not buried in the Corey site at the Granby Cemetery. Whether the
"Corey" children knew of their background is uncertain as none of the
Corey descendants were aware of the "Cook" genealogy.

"VERY SAD CASE - One Boy Shoots Br other in Corey Home. One of Saddest
Accidents in History of Granby.
Roy Cor ey, a boy about 13 years old, came into his home about noon
Saturday, having in his hands a shotgun, with which he intended shooting
at rats and as he sto od in the doors, the gun was discharged.
As near as can be ascertained the boy stood in the door with the gun in
his hand and had pushed a loaded shell int o the chamber and the cartridge
was exploded when he snapped the breach block into place, the hammer on
the gun being set wrongly. The charge of shot ent ered the thigh of his
older brother, William Corey, who was sitting at a tabl e near the door at
the time, severing the femoral artery and passed across th e lower part of
the abdomen making a surface wound all of the way. Dr. V. J. Irwin was
summoned by telephone as soon as possible by the boy who done the
shooting and he did all that he could for the injured lad, but the loss
of blood and been too great and he died Sunday afternoon. The funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon in the home of John Corey at Granby station
and the service was conducted by Rev. F. Barrows Makepeace, pastor of the
South church in Gr anby and the burial was in Granby cemetery by the side
of the mother of the b oy who died about a year ago after a long illness
from tuberculosis.
The dec eased boy was the elder of three and was employed by John S. Dewey
on his tob acco farm close by. Of the three boys he was the only one that
was in perfec t health each of the others being chronic invalids to a
degree.
Mr. Corey is employed in a store near Granby station and is a man highly
respected and es teemed by all in Granby. He has had to undergo losses,
first of his wife, af ter a long illness and now of his eldest son, that
calls out the sympathy of all in the community to a rare degree"
Note: The descendants of Roy are not aw are on any childhood health
problems.
