Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.12588, it appears that Isaac Corey, while residing at East Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, enlisted in the fall of 1780, and served six months in Colonel Jackson's Massachusetts Regiment.
He enlisted in the fall of 1781, and served three months in Captain Bowker's Company, Colonel Jackson's Regiment. He stated that his father was in the service at the same time. The name of his father is not given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 15, 1832, while living in Granby, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, aged sixty-eight years.
In 1838, he had moved to Fairhaven, Rutland County, Vermont, to reside with his son, Alpheus P. Corey and in 1840, he was living in Chester, New York, with son Alpheus.
There are no further data as to family.

The above is the history of the only soldier named Isaac Corey or Cory found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

Dear Sirs:
Will you please give me the date of last payment of pension made to Isaac Corey and the place of his residence. His pension number was Claims S. 12588.
Did Moses Prentice receive a pension for his service in the Revolution. He was from Belchertown, Mass. and his war record is in Vol. 12, page 741 of Mass. Soldiers and Sailors. If he received a pension, please give date of application, place of residence and date of last payment.
Also the same information regarding Henry Swift Bradford , whose service is recorded in Conn. Archives, Revolutionary War, Series 1. He removed to Stamford, Delaware Co., N.Y. in about 1794 but I do not know if he remained there until death. Should his widow have received his pension after his death, please give information.

Dear Sir. Have you a record of an Isaac Corey who served in either the war of the Revolution or 1812. He was born about 1761 and died about 1845. He lived in Granby Mass. in 1794 as he married Louhana Prentice of Belcherstown 9/9/1794. And also we have record of his being a resident in Granby until 1812. He spent his last days with his
son Alphens Prentice Corey in Vt. There is an Isaac Corey who served in Paul Reeve's (9th) Co (G 4.20.37) as Minute man of Aguabangue in 3/20/1776. Are they the same? The Isaac Corey I seek information of lost a leg as the result of his war service.
