CORY- Dr. Benjamin Cory was a native of Ohio, and was the first physician in San Jose. He became one of the first "Horse-and-Buggy" physicians, as he often rode long distances to see patients. He was involved in all forms of local politics and a
popular saying of the day was, "More good government comes from Doctor Corey's office than from the Legislature or City Hall".
Since posting the above I was contacted by Beth Ahrens-Kley, who is Doctor Cory's Great Grand Daughter. She provided this additional information. The Cory family, not very many know, stems originally from the Westfields NJ. Dr. Ben Cory's father James
Manning Cory had had a restless spirit himself and left NJ to go to Ohio ....all three of his boys also were adventurous and spirited, Dr Benjamin and brothers James and Andy (Andrew Jackson Cory) all ended up in Ca. James made money by discovering the
Esmerelda mine and started the first winery near Fresno, and Andy was the first director of the Santa Clara county hospital and was county coroner. Dr. Ben Corys wife Sarah Braly came over by wagon train across the plains the same year as B. Cory.
Exact DOB from Westfield Presbyterian Church baptismal record.
