82 Earty History OF THE CORRIES. 
ing to Thomas de Torthorwald (Reg. Hon. de Morton, ii, 
96). 
Of other undesignated Corries who might receive men- 
tion, we have notice of an Adam de Corry, a witness at 
Dalkeith, roth July, r411 (R.M.S., new vol., 932), who may 
be. identified with Adam Cory (or Tore), who was granted 
the privilege of exchange in all Scotland by David II. 
(R.M.S., new vol., app. ii., 1168). He may have been a 
descendant of the Seneschal of Lochmaben, 1333. 
Adam, the financier of 1411, was probably related to 
the John of Corry who lent his house in Edinburgh to the 
Lords of the Exchequer to be used as a mint at a rental of 
45 in 1359 (Ex. R., 1, 616). Another EdinburehniG@ons, 
of the period was Walter Curry, merchant of Dundee, in 
1342, who helped to capture Edinburgh Castle, for which he 
received $100 and was appointed custumar of Edinburgh 
(Ex. R., 1., intro.). Another Walter de Curry (at Inner- 
kathyve) received in 1406 payment of £3 6s 8d (Ex. R., 
ihven Cp 
The will of an Adam Correy, of Kingston-super-Hull, is 
recorded for 29th January, 1391 (Surtees Soc., 1836, p. 148).

Turning now to Thomas, of Corry of that Ilk, who 
was dead by 1452, in addition to the doubtful Walter 
of Corry (1450), who may have been his brother, we have 
references to another problematical brother in Herbert of 
Corry (1456), who suffered escheat of 15 bolls of oatmeal 
(xe RE, Vie Os). 
A George of Corry would seem to have been dead nine 
years by 1454, during which period the fermes of Ellerbek, 
Middleby, Cummertrees, Howgill, and Middeby were in the 
King’s hands (Ex. R., v., 668 and 671). It is difficult to 
place this George in the pedigree, unless he be father or 
brother of Thomas de Cory, who died 1452. But it is 
noticeable that a Robert de Corry recovered sasine in these 
properties in 1459 (ibid., 551). This Robert de Corry was 
granted by the King in 1456 the lands of Dronok (Ex. R., 
vi., 274), which lands had been in hands of the King in 1452
