Adam CORRIE
(1770-1846) |
Adam CORRIE 2
Notes: Adam was the second son of John Corrie, and was presumably born at Barncleugh Farm in the Parish of Irongray. The family moved to Southpark in his uncle William's Senwick Estate when he was nine years old. Adam joined his uncle's lacemaking business in Wellingborough: he was his favourite nephew, and eventually inherited his business and property in Scotland and England. He also bought much land in England including Wilby Manor near Wellingborough. In 1818, thinking that political troubles were coming to England as they had in France 30 years before, Adam sent his son John to America where he bought 10,000ac on the Wabash River in Illinois (at 1s/acre) so that his father could emigrate with his family. However, prospects in England improved so Adam instead provided land and finance for three of his brothers who emigrated and became pioneer farmers. Adam married Penelope Chester BAILEY, daughter of Thomas BAILEY and Ann YEATES, on 19 Nov 1792 in St Peter Cornhill, London.1 (Penelope Chester BAILEY was born in 1771 in Padbury, Buckinghamshire,6 7 died on 12 Nov 1852 in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire 8 and was buried in Salem Chapel, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire 5.) |
