(22 Feb 1721/22 - Bef 6 Oct 1746)

This William is not a direct line ancestor of Gideon Corey. However, he was the first husband of Gideon's mother, and the father of two of Gideon's half-brothers, and both are mentioned by Gideon in his correspondence. To complete the family picture, William is given this brief mention here.

William lived in Rhode Island, where he died at the young age of about 25 years. Elizabeth then married William's brother Thomas. [Corey Book]
