DNA analysis of John Cory descendants shows a haplogroup of R1a which is commonly found in Eastern Europe and more remotely between the Black and Caspian Seas. The same analysis shows that the lines of Thomas Cory of Chelmsford and William Cory of Portsmouth are not related. (Cory Family Society Newsletter February 2007)
