Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo

Thomas Cordry was born about 1700.

He was a yeoman at Dry Run in Virginia.

Notes

This line of Cordery/Cordry's are NOT ancestors of Thomas Cordery that married Sonicooie.

There are two separate Cordery lines that are highly conflated on the internet trees. There are no records to place them together as part of the same family. Both with a father and a son named Thomas, but living in different places. In 1758, one Cordery-11 is in Virginia; the other Cordery-26 is in Georgia. In 1783, both are in Florida, but records describe two different families. While precise birth dates aren't known, there is likely a 20+- year difference in their ages.

So we have:

  1. Thomas of Halifax, Georgia born ca 1736, father of Thomas of the Chattahoochee (Georgia), 1763-1841, who takes Sonicooie as a wife. This family resides at Pensacola, Florida for a time.
  2. Thomas of Frederick County, Virginia dies in 1763, father of Thomas of St. Augustine, Florida b. 1722 md. Mary Lasswell and dies in St. Augustine.

Cordry-21 and Cordery-48 appear to represent the same person because: they have the same death and child.
