      This story was sent in a letter to Mr Albert Snyder, Newai
      
      N.J., a descendant of William ofportsmouth, R.L, by James Enos a Cory Historian of Shelby, or Tiro, Ohio.

      The Vanishing Sentries
      
      During the American Revolution, solders were stationed to warn the regiment of surprise attack.
      
      At one post in the woods, one or more colonial sentinels had been killed and scalped (the Family Weekly says they would vanish without a trace). The commanding officer called for volunteers, and only Ebenezer (of the Thomas
      Line) stepped forward. Two others were drafted.
      
      About one o'clock that night, sentinel Cory saw a hog shuffling along on his beat. Cory ordered the hog to halt, and give the countersign. The hog did not halt, but continued to follow him. After the third order was not complied with, and the hog was about eight yards from him, he fired and killed the hog. Investigation was made, and inside a well prepared hog hide was, a lusty, dead Indian and 'scalping knife.
      
      James E. Cory concludes the story by saying "Again, a Cory is in the front ranks".
      
      He moved to NH after marrage, then to Vermont and thence to Tioga County, PA in 1813.
      
      There is a record of an Ebenezer Corey in the First Census, page 206. A resident of Roxbury. At that time, 1790, he had two sons under 16 and 4 daughters. This reference is most likely [4.5.4] <V-77> Ebenezer Corey, Jr., Leut. who resided in Roxbury.
